[QUESTION] Characters cant accept quests?
« on: April 23, 2014, 08:52:48 pm »
I recently updated my server and database. It had been a few years. I have been playing my old characters normally with no problems. On a whim i tried making a new character and I could not accept any quests. It didn't matter what race or class. I tried other accounts with the same results. I would log in and try taking the first quest offered with no luck. I did run one toon down to try and take a different quest to see if maybe it was just that one quest that was broken but i was still unable to take any. Anyone have any ideas? I'm not sure where to start looking to fix a problem like this.

Check for errors. Make sure your database structure is up to date with the emulators. Use TrinityCore for 3.3.5a if you are not already.

ok i checked for errors. n the sql server looks like there is a "warning IP address xx.xx.xx.xx could not be resolved: getnameinfo <> returned error <code: 11004>
I dont know what that means but it looks like there is an error for possibly every quest i tried? i dont know for sure but there are a few of the errors.
also I leveled up a toon to level 5 and was able to take all the quests i could come accross but when i returned to the starter area I STILL could not take the quests there. So it seems to be localized to the starter areas.

and yes i am using trinitycore for 3.5a

I Google'd the error message: http://myunster.com/blog/SeiFeet/38.html

Have you tried this? Seems some queries are being blocked.

Thanks! I have not googled anything since i first googled about the quest thing. lol. I should have thought to do that. Im looking to see if i can add the line about ignore name resolve issues.

ok apparently i don't have a my.ini file. Im using Jeulettes portable mysql for repacks that I got from AC-web. It works better that installing it for me as i use the server on several machines and don't want to install mysql on them all. Does anyone know if i can add the my.ini file somewhere?


also I can see how this might cause a problem but it doesn't make sense why it would cause only the starter quests to not be accepted?
