So here's my issue... I bought a dedicated server... it has been setup and no errors are showing... Yet as soon as I try to log in it says "connection from the account accepted" and immediately it says "closed connection from account" the Ip in my clientinfo is correct and my packet version is correct.

Fixed my issue.... Had to go into the conf/import/char_conf and conf/import/map_conf. and change the IP... In case anyone else is having the same issue.

 
login-server.bat keeps telling me:
"Connection of the char-server REFUSED"

map-server:

"[status]: Connecting to 127.0.0.1:6121
[status]: Logging in to char server...

[Warning]: Connection to Char Server lost."

char-sever:

"[Error]: Can not connect to login-server.

[Error]: The server communication passowrds <default s1/p1> are probably invalid.

[Error]: Also, please make sure your login db has the correct communication username/passwords and the gender of the account is S.

[Error]: The communication passwords are set in /conf/map-server.con and /conf/char-server.conf

[Warning]: Connection to the Login Server lost."

I've checked, double checked, triple checked that all the login info matches up. I set the account information on the login db to null and I'm still getting the same error. I don't know what to try from here.

This is my first time trying to set up a server though, so I could just be completely clueless..

Hello! you should match your userid and passwd to your map-server.conf & char-server.conf

with the one on your SQL in login table.

I noticed that your account id and email is not an account for server... 

Here's a sample:

I do have one more question though - I followed another guide here for setting up the client, but I can't seem to get it to connect to the server. Could you suggest a guide for that? http://herc.ws/board/topic/1653-guide-setting-up-2013-clients/ this is the guide I used for that.

 
"31. Execute the following code

SELECT * FROM login"

This part really makes no sense to me, can I have a clarification?  It is very vague,  I see no place to "execute" code from what looks like command line.

It's just a small script line to bring up the login db log in order to edit the server username and password. Another option to edit this is to do the following:

1. You should have 2 Main Databases named 'logs' and/or 'Hercules'  (According to guide, it should be hercules)

`logs` is the smaller database with logs for atcommand, npclog, etc

`Hercules` is the HUGE database for ipbans, login, mail, etc.

2. Click Hercules, Click table, then Click the dropdown arrow on table to suspend the 40+ databases and scroll down to 'login'

Open it with a right click and select 1000 something something, I don't remember.... The login should have the following format:

Accound ID     ||   user_id     ||     user_pass    || sex   ||   email || 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. You need to edit the user id and password that matches your conf folder. If they do not match you will get the famous mysql connection lost connection using the password:YES!

~Hope that helped. I don't have Workbench on my mac and I'm just visualizing it in my head!

Excuse me I am really really new to this emulator.

Can I use Microsoft visual studio 2013 with this emulator ? 

 
Yes as long as the Hercules provided the until that date 2009,2010,2013 then go for it. but in my opinion i would go for 2010 majority of people go for it.

 
the links at the end of this are dead rendering me stuck at step 20. Does anyone else have any more information on the MySQL portion of this guide?
