"Failed to connect to server", no attempt of login displayed in terminal.

[Crysillion]

Hello!

 

Server-side, my server appears to be running without much of an issue. The client is a different story altogether.

 

I utilized the programs provided by Rytech's pack found here: https://rathena.org/board/topic/75130-rytechs-client-pack-2012-04-10-v1/

 

I have diffed the executable and it shows my server on the list. However, it doesn't show serverRO(0), it just shows serverRO, which seems like a bad sign in its own right.

 

Whenever I enter any login credentials, it loads for about 15 seconds then tells me that I failed to connect to the server. Absolutely nothing shows up in the terminal, there's no indication that a login was even attempted.

 

The server is being ran on a CentOS 7 Linux VPS and I have done the following:

 

> set the server IP in the clientinfo.xml that exists in the data folder,

> changed all packet versions to 30,

> confirmed that the packet version is the appropriate 20120410 (as it is by default),

> confirmed that the server is going through the MySQL database properly (terminal shows several database entries being read and states that the use of MySQL is true),

> confirmed that map_athena and char_athena both have the IP entered correctly,

> altered subnet_athena to be 127.0.0.1:serverip:serverip,

 

> I used the WeeDiff plugin found in Rytech's pack, and diffed the 20120410 client provided.

Nothing works. Nothing fixes it. I've googled around and checked out various topics. None of the fixes proposed fixed it for me. I am absolutely clueless as to how to go about correcting this, because I have not the slightest idea what the problem could possibly be at this point.

if your ip and ports already inserted correctly, thats mean that vps have firewall or such thing that need to be disabled .ask your host

[benching]

set the address and port in clientinfo.xml, (default port: 6900)
make sure the clientinfo.xml is being read by the client and not overwritten by something else.

Ah, this was actually my issue. Had to open the necessary ports. Thanks!
