Hey guys,

I'm trying to get the server files posted by Alexxstst running, but when I start the AccountServer it doesn't connect to the database.

I've already followed Semitron1337's video step by step, but it still won't start properly. I'm not sure if I'm missing some configuration, permission, or something else.

Could someone please help me? I just want to get it working so I can play with a few friends for the nostalgia.

Thanks in advance!
 
Configuration Manager check the configuration of SQLExpress. Pipes and Address IP needs to be Enable
I check and all pipes and tcp/ip enable and still dont work, security login is db owner database.
GameDB have connection failed too

my account cfg
[db]
dbserver = 127.0.0.1
db = AccountServer
userid = pko_account
passwd = EZCpyYOZVocDE5Dc2KURBQ== // SQL Pass: Y87dc#$98

Its ur dbserver name wrong Sir.
Use the name of ur instalation..
Like this:
dbserver = .\SQLEXPRESS
the .\ take ur pc name
Communication between server-side executables works better by name rather than IP address, although IP address communication can also work in some scenarios.
 
I had tested using the server name dbserver = SNYX-PC\SQLEXPRESS, but it still failed to connect. I've been testing for hours, checking the ports, and even asked an AI for help finding the issue. I tried several suggested solutions, but I still can't find the problem. Sorry to bother you.
 
Trust me and put .\SQLEXPRESS on your entire server cfg
dbserver = .\SQLEXPRESS
and of course, confirms whether you in the sql installation selected NAMED INSTANCE and that the name you pulled was in fact sqlexpress
or pass me the remote connection :)
