Client looping before character selection¶

Edit .../code/ryzom/server/frontend_service.cfg

FSListenHost = "open.ryzom.com";

Replace open.ryzom.com by your server domain name or ip.

It must be reachable by the client.

Thank you molator but i already did that. Both the frontend_service.cfg at the server and client_default.cfg point to my hostname. I can even telnet that address on port 40916 from the client machine.

I checked the server and this shows up on the frontend service

INF 910 login_server.cpp 158 NLNET::cbWSChooseShard: LS: New cookie '802EB459|1E09A001|00000001' (name 'fox1980' priv '' extended '' instance 4294967295 slot 15) inserted in the pending user list (awaiting new client)
INF 910 frontend_service.cpp 1668 CFrontEndService::setClientsToSynchronizeState: Leaving STALLED mode

So i guess it means the client can reach the server. Still don't know why i can connect to with a computer on a LAN but not from the internet.

What OS are you using ?
Tell me what you put in the frontend and in the client config ?

The domain name or ip in the config must be the same in the frontend and the client.
But your clients will use a local ip or an external ip.

You can use my trick here to reach your server from your LAN and Internet :

http://dev.ryzom.com/wiki/ryzom/ConnectingShardFromInternetAndLAN

I compiled everything on my dev machine, a Windows XP 32bit with SP3. I then copied everything to my server, running on Windows Server 2008 64bit, and ran the server from there.

On the client i opened client_default.cfg and replace StartupHost with this:

StartupHost = "static-b5-248-11.telepac.pt:40916";

On the server i edited frontend_service.cfg and replaced FSListenHost with this:

FSListenHost = "static-b5-248-11.telepac.pt";

In my router i forwarded port 40916 to my server address. I already deleted everything and started again from zero, i triple checked everything while following the tutorials and it still doesn't work. I also tried both using that hostname, and the server IP (i got a static IP), neither configuration worked. If i connect from a PC on the same LAN as the server with StartupHost = "internal_server_ip:40916"; then i can connect just fine, and everything works as expected.

I guess either there's some step missing from the tutorials, or i need to open more ports, are you sure Ryzom core needs to listen only on port 40916 ?

Thanks for taking the time to help me, i really appreciate it.

Port 40916 is enough, that's what i'm doing.

If the frontend is set to FSListenHost = "static-b5-248-11.telepac.pt",
StartupHost = "internal_server_ip:40916" in the client, it can't work.

You will have to set StartupHost = "static-b5-248-11.telepac.pt",
and add static-b5-248-11.telepac.pt in the client hosts file for LAN connection.

You're welcome.

The LAN clients won't work with the server external address even when FSListenHost = "static-b5-248-11.telepac.pt" and even if i set it up in the client hosts file.

static-b5-248-11.telepac.pt is indeed my server hostname you can telnet to port 40916 and see for yourself that it's reacheable through the internet, but clients won't work with StartupHost = "static-b5-248-11.telepac.pt:40916", i also tried using the server IP instead (82.154.248.11) on the client and server configuration but it doesn't work either.

I installed wireshark on a client machine and i saw that it initiates authentication on TCP port 40916 but after logging in, it keeps sending UDP packets to port 47851, i forwarded that port on the server too, but still no good.

Do you have more logs from the client and the server to share ?

I'm using the IP address atm in both client and server. The network part of the client log shows this:

then it enters an infinite loop with the last line, wich server logs should i be checking ? i see several logs files in the server.

frontend_service.log or log.log

Use pastbin.com to share the logs.

I successfully created an account on your server, but same thing, the client is looping.

This is at the end of frontend_service.log

it means the server is indeed reacheable by the clients doesn't it ?

Yeap it's.
There's something wrong with the frontend.

Could you share the full frontend_service.log ?

I shutdown the server and deleted the logs, cause the server has been running for quite some time now and the logs were very big. I'm starting up the server now and reattempt to connect so i can upload the new logs somewhere.

Uploaded the server log.log, frontend_service.log and client.log to

In my router i forwarded port 40916 to my server address.

40916 is not enough, it's only for authentication. If you have server behind router you'll need other ports forwarded too. Check here (III. Outgoing Ports): http://forums.ryzom.com/showthread.php?t=7650

I didn't open anything else that 40916 and it is working :).
My firewall (on the router) is set not to let pass anything :).

Could be the server own firewall.
I don't use any.

We're talking here about router (he had to forward 40916 on his router), not firewall on the same machine.

Yeap, it's the only port i'm forwarding on my router.
That's strange.

But i've just seen it's a windows 2003 server.
So could be 2003 own firewall.

I already forwarded ports 47851 and 40916 on my router cause they're the only relevant ones on my server. For testing purposed i completely disabled the OS firewall, still no good.

you can try "DisableNLDebug 0" on FES and see if it gives you more info

No more info when setting DisableNLDebug

In mysql config, what did you set instead of open.ryzom, localhost or ?

I set to the server internal address (the one starting with 192.168). but out of desperation i've tried changing it to localhost and to the external address. The external address causes the server not to start, both localhost or the internal ip work.

Don't know if you solved your probleme but here another issue i got with the same resulting log.

I'm testing ryzom core on a server with 2 IP, the real one and the proxy purpose one.
I was given the proxy ip.
The client and server were able to exchange some data but no cookie.
As soon as i changed my ip for the real one, it worked.

hi,GUYS,molator ,thx!
