Hi, i'm trying to use eAthena's latest revision (trunk 15192) with an old client (Xray 2007-09-04, supposed to be packet ver 8) and I can't get it to work. I tried to change the packetver in mmo.h to a couple of thing, with no success. I tried: #ifndef PACKETVER #define PACKETVER 20070904 #endif and: #ifndef PACKETVER #define PACKETVER 8 #endif But it did not work at all. I was able to connect threw the login and char server, but i get the "Failed to connect to server" error on the map server. To make sure that the client was the real problem, I tried the same settings with another client (Xray 2008-01-02, supposed to be packet ver 9). Then, i was able to connect to the server, but every NPC and monsters where missings. I read on some other topics that the "invisible" npc and monsters problem were a packet problem, so I figured that the packet compatibility was the real issue. Also, if that can be of some help, i'm running the server on Ubuntu server LTS and i'm running eAthena SQL. So yeah... Is there any way to make the newer revision compatible with packet version 8? Thanks for helping me!

Either your mysql server is not running or not listening on localhost. To make it listen, open /etc/mysql/my.conf search: bind-address = 127.0.0.1 and change it to: #bind-address = 127.0.0.1 To verify, use: netstat -tap then, restart the mysql server: Ubuntu: sudo service mysql reload sudo service mysql restart
