Can't log into my own server...

[Cowslayer]

I followed OT Flames' Tutorial to the letter, downloading his version of Apache XAMPP and TFS 0.2.14 and then followed his instructions to the letter, installing XAMPP and then importing the TFS Server etc via http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin .

I got everything set, started XAMPP, and placed my map in the world folder, edited the config.lua to match what I needed and started up the server, then got onto a 8.22 Client and changed my IP with Asprates latest IP Changer, insuring that it was set to 8.22 before changing.

So here's the problem: I sign in with an account that DOES exist, I checked a thousand times in http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin , but it still says "Invalid Account Name."

I've logged into several servers made by other people to check if I can, and I have no trouble.

Here is my config.lua, let me know if you need more info, I haven't done this since 7.6 Servers... I used *** to represent things such as my MySQL password.

Enter the computer that you host with.
Enter What Is My IP Address? - IP Address Lookup, Internet Speed Test, IP Info, plus more

Enter config.lua

Replace:
ip = "spork.no-ip.info"

With:
ip = "YOURDIRECTIP"

spork.no-ip.info in config.lua does not work. However it work when entering website if your hosting. You can still use YOURDIRECTIP in config.lua while using spork.no-ip.info for the website.

Where it says: ip = "spork.no-ip.info"
You should put your ip from: www.whatismyip.com

EDIT: Damn i got ninja'd

If you arent a hoster since 7.6, you prolly used an old Evolution server. They actually had support for domain IP like an no-ip adress. But TFS don't. Which I think is pretty bad, with a domain IP in config.lua you are fully supported even with dynamic IP adresses. (with the help of your router and the DNS provider it can be fixed.)

Tried to tell Talaturen a few times for a while ago but he didn't listen. I guess it might be a challenge.

OtLand is full of supporters! I'm pretty sure you get faster help here than OtFans!

Thanks so much, and yeah wow that was fast, but I'm still getting the "Invalid Account Name", even after changing it to my actual IP. Could you maybe try signing in? it's up now, spork.no-ip.info, 8.22, 1/1...

Don't know why it won't work =/

 

[kosyer]

Mate, are u using 0.2+ or 0.3+? Becouse i think if u use the 0.2 and make an account with letters instead of numbers it will gives u this kind of error i think. Try to make an account with just numbers. Rep if work

 

[husam]

u wont get any rep points so why rep?

 

[Cowslayer]

The account was Name 1 Pass 1 and it didn't work, so no =/
