did you portforward?

Yep. All ports (3306 and 54259) is opened in modem, router and firewall.

Use 127.0.0.1 or Localhost

127.0.0.1 lets you connect to the computer its on, from that same computer.

200.149.100.248, is either your network IP or the IP to let others connect to your server.

I use the localhost ip in the server configuration and internal ip (200.149.100.248) in the configuration of the client?

Ok, i will test it. But I'm not sure that this will work out.
If this fail i'll return here.
Thanks very much.


Argh ! I have tested to put the 200.149.100.248 ip on client and 127.0.0.1 on server/mysql, but it fail 
Please, i really need help.

[Ryex]

you have to use the Ip that is visible from the outside not an internal IP.
go to portforward.com the ip that they show as yours is the one you use.

Here


Change HOST to your internal IP.
Change your SQL_HOSTNAME to '127.0.0.1'

Still can't make it to work... who can list the the things that I may have done wrong? I can't launch RMX-OS.rb cuz when I double-clicked it, it opened for about 1 second or so then closed automatically... Suggestions? It's best that someone could gimme a list of what I may have done wrong and then I can try everything out... hehe... thanks... 

I had the same problem when i first started with 1.08. Your best option is to post in the quote tags your config file. I found out I had it totally jacked up and thats why it didn't run.

You mean quote my config file? If so... then here it is:

NAME = 'Lost Time'
HOST = '192.168.1.3'
PORT = 54269
RMXOS_VERSION = 1.01

LOG_MESSAGES = true
LOG_ERRORS = true
LOG_ACTIONS = true

MAXIMUM_CONNECTIONS = 50
LOGIN_TIMEOUT = 30
AUTO_RESTART = true
RESTART_TIME = 5
OPTIMIZE_DATABASE_ON_STARTUP = true
DATABASE_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT = 60

SQL_HOSTNAME = 'localhost'
SQL_USERNAME = 'root'
SQL_PASSWORD = '4161051710'
SQL_DATABASE = 'rmxosdb'

INBOX_SIZE = 10

EXTENSIONS = [
''
]

Your using quite an old version of the OS there...

1.01

I have changed the HOST for my visible ip (on portforward.com) and have changed the SQL to 127.0.0.1 ;
Obs : I'm using a "ip variable" dial-up connection.
Obs 2 : I don't forget to change the ip of client.

Finally :


The client answer offline yet.

Grunje: I have to know.

Is the computer where the server is, the same as where you are playing on?

Are you trying to get other people to connect or just you?

If it's only you, and its all on the same computer, please change all instances of 201.5.246.167 to 127.0.0.1 (in cfg and in RPG maker)

If you want to make it so other people can connect... That requires the 201 IP, and depending on your routers, you yourself may not be able to connect to your own internet IP (it's like that for me)

[G_G]

the host needs to be the internal ip, go to the command prompt and type in ipconfig it'll be like 192.168.1.x or something along those lines then you need the 201 ip in the client.

[Feildmaster]

Oh right.. Port forwarding makes the internal IP better than using the actual IP...

xd

1.01

So... is that a problem?

First I'd update the OS to the current version of 1.09. And see if it fixes. You should always use the newest version of a program that is released. Then only touch the Host and SqlHost options in the config and see if it works.

[Feildmaster]

Oh right, blizz.

Teh current version gives an error:
OS Script line 3776:System Stack Error
Stack Level too deep,

for scene_map initialize, after logging out, and trying to log back in...

*will go back to see if this ever happened before tomorrow*

The server and the MySQL is on my computer.
But i want to make connection of ohters players to me.

the host needs to be the internal ip, go to the command prompt and type in ipconfig it'll be like 192.168.1.x or something along those lines then you need the 201 ip in the client.

I don't use routers ! I don't have stable ip ! I'm using a dial connection on server !

See :


My ip is always somethinks like 200.xxx.xxx.xxx or 201.xxx.xxx.xxx, because i'm  using a variable and dial up connection on the server.

[Blizzard]

You are using a dial up connection for internet? You don't seriously expect the server to work normally on an unreliable type of connection such as dial-up?! If you want to test the server locally, use localhost (or 127.0.0.1). If you want to run it so others can see it, you need an external server.

[Feildmaster]

I second what blizzard said.

Okay... so now it can be launched... but... it still have a problem...
It says:

> Starting TCP Server at 'localhost:3306'...
Unexpected error occured!

It keeps repeat and repeat... so... any suggestions?

[Ryex]

restart your computer and try again. if it still happens then change the port number.

[holy416m]

Oh yeah!!! Finally successfully connected to the server... but the problem is... when I tried pressing "Register", type in the username and password, press "Submit", it pop-up a thing saying "You have been disconnected."... so... what now?

[Blizzard]

Delete your database and create it again. If it still happens, check the server log. If the it's a server-side problem, the log should have caught the error.

All netplays i have tested all, except your, worked successfully with dial up.
Dial up connection isn't a problem. I think until everything is working perfectly on the server/mysql.
The "Offline" appears so fast, that i think wich the problem is in the Client.

Obs : I have tested use localhost (127.0.0.1) and the Client continues to show me Offline
