Solved theforgottenserver.exe closes after opening

[Floxy]

First time trying to set up a server, i am following the OTS Guide, however at this step i get stuck: Setting up your first server | OTS Guide (https://docs.otland.net/ots-guide/running-your-first-ot-server/setting-up-your-first-server)

theforgottenserver.exe is instantly closing the terminal when opening it, i did do allt he steps before i should open it as described in the tutorial.

Is there someone that can help me out here?

Start the server on command prompt.

TFS 1.X+ - Console crash log

Hi, so my console is crashing and it's closing way faster then I can read the error message, is there somehow a way to see the crash log? Or maybe not let it close so that I can actually read the error?

This way when it close, it will leave a log at the command prompt and you'll know what is happening.

Most likely you haven't connected your server to the database.

Are you sure that you have configured it correctly? Not a lot to go on to be honest, but sounds like that's your problem
I would re-do these steps, just to make sure:

Thanks for the reply, i feel stupid already facing issues this early in my hype building my first OT >.<

i've made a screenshot of all relevant information in one screen, would you mind checking it? I typed everything correct and did the exact steps you mentioned. Only thing i tried to add from another tutorial i found is the "PasswordType = "sha1". But removing or having it in did not change anything

ps thanks @ralke for the tip on executing it from the terminal, that worked to view the error message at least

Thanks for thinking with me! Is this the same for tfs 1.2? I am just following the exact steps + download links from the tutorial and that is apparently TFS 1.2.

If it would work would you mind explaining me how to compile with SSE2?

I've done this, i downloaded the latest version of Uniserver (today is the first time im using this kind of software). Now my user/password is root/root again, but still does not work

Did you configure your config.php as well? Might be a silly question but I know I forgot that when I first started.
Should look similar to the config.lua

I didnt see a config.php yet , only config file i've been editing is the one on the right in the screenshot. However i see there is a config.lue.dist in the folder above, did not touch that yet (not even sure if my folder structure is making sense at this point tbh).

Where can i find this config.php?

The config.php is under your UniServerZ/www folder.

Then again, I have no idea if that has any effect at all now that I think about it, since that would be for your website.

ok run the uniserver press cancel for setting password go to mysql run alter user password to root'root@localhost blabla find the command and then flush privileges; and then it will connect

Hi there!

I'm not sure if this will resolve your issue, but you could try creating a file named 'config.lua' in your server's root directory. Simply open your editor, create the file, and then open the 'config.lua.dist' file.

You can copy all the contents from 'config.lua.dist' into your new 'config.lua' file. Make sure to save it and set up the connection to your database. If anyone knows a better method, I'd love to hear about it and learn something new too.

Kind regards,

Thanks all, i installed XAMPP instead of Uniserver and now it is working
