Hello RZ,
Since the release of this long awaited server files, we all tried hard and most us even spent sleepless nights trying to figure things out in excitement to make the server work and client to connect, test and play.
This is in attempt to make it easier for all of us to fix most if not all, the bugs, problems and issues we get during the process and
NOT left our concerns UNANSWERED (hopefully), thereby eliminating too much repeated questions.
REMINDER:
These are based on my personal experience on how I solved most of the problems. Just pay attention to them and follow carefully making sure by double checking everything and not rush things out because you will only make things worst, just have more PATIENCE my friends.
Also, this thread assumes you already set up your server from Justin Bieber's release or by following AkiSora's guide and trying to make things work from that point.
That said, let's get to work!
ERROR #1:[##ERROR##] Initialize(): InitializeGlobals()
FIX/SOLUTION #1:Use
You must be registered to see links
from Oracle instead of VMware.
[##ERROR##] DB ERROR(MSG) : [unixODBC][FreeTDS][SQL Server]Server is unavailable or does not exist.
FIX/SOLUTION #2:This means the server (CentOS) cannot connect to MSSQL database (Windows).
For testing purposes, temporarily
You must be registered to see links
in your server (CentOS) and disable the windows firewall 'til you get all working.
Make sure your MSSQQL database user and password matches the ones you set in your server "ini" (AuthDBAgent.ini, CashDBAgent.ini, DBAgent.ini, EventDBAgent.ini, GlobalDBAgent.ini and PCBangDBAgent.ini).
DBId = (your database user name) and DBPwd = (your database password).
Don't forget to double check your
odbc.ini (as posted by walkernight88) settings as well and don't rush make sure of everything.
[##ERROR##] fail listening xxxxx port (Address already in use)
FIX/SOLUTION [#3]:
This is fine, don't worry about it, unless you set a custom port that's a different story.
This is normal because your system has not released the port yet due to stop and start scenario. Just ignore and move on to other errors.
ERROR [#4]:[##ERROR##] connect 127.0.0.1:38170 fail
FIX/SOLUTION [#4]:
By default, port 38170 is used by GlobarMgrSvr which needs to connect to DBAgent.
If your DBAgent can't connect properly to your database you will get this error.
So, try to fix the database connection problem first - see ERROR/FIX #2.
ERROR [#5]:[##ERROR##] DB ERROR(STM_TEXT) : {call dbo.cabal_sp_ems_get_events}
FIX/SOLUTION #5:Delete the two entries in the EventData database.
Thanks to Extornia for his quick response.
ERROR [#6]:
The game client is responding with incorrect password but can't login with correct user and password, or can login but can't enter any channels.
FIX/SOLUTION [#6]:Replace your bin files with the ones found in /home/update/ folder from the
original server files released.
It won't let you connect/spawn when you give yourself GM Nation. (by Extornia)
FIX/SOLUTION [#7]:Add your IP in gm_ip_list in Account table,
check here. (by Extornia)
Unable to select characters.
FIX/SOLUTION [#97]:NO AVAILABLE FIX YET. However, all EP8 servers have it (even the ones that are UP at the moment). (by Extornia)
ERROR [#98]:
When using CTLR + you click on map if you are not GM nation but procy/capella you will EC6, type 244. (by Extornia)
FIX/SOLUTION [#98]:NO AVAILABLE FIX YET.
ERROR [#99]:
I can go in game and play, only problem is I can't drop any items.
The game message says: "Your character cannot use the function."
FIX/SOLUTION [#99]:NO AVAILABLE FIX YET.
I will be updating this thread for more errors and fixes, let's all work together as a team once again as this is the essence of the release, let's not disappoint the man behind it, it's the least we could do after years of waiting.
