Ok, I'm fairly new to trying my hand at scripting/running a POL server... I downloaded all the necessary files and can get the server up and running, added my Admin account to the accounts script... but EVERY time I click my client to jump into my little world, I get the message on the POL console that I'm trying to connect but not allowed and a "not allowed" message is being sent... however, no message pops up on my UO screen and it simply freezes up.

Now, I remember having this problem a few times with the old Sphere servers, but have no idea what the problem could be here. Help?

BTW, yeah...I'm quite well versed in Sphere, but a total nOOb at POL.

I have a shard using RunUO and Razor. The only reason I have Razor is to patch the encrypted file, perhaps POL is the same way?

By saying that you got a 'not allowed' message, I'm guessing you mean something like the following?

Client#2: Unexpected message type 84, 62 bytes (IP:127.0.0.1, Account:None)
0000: 84 54 61 3c 81 2f 2c ee d3 75 9b 6a 6b 6b e8 5d .Ta<./,. .u.jkk.]

If so, that means that you're using a different client version/encryption than what the server is expecting. The file that you need to change is /pkg/character/uoclient.cfg. What you need to add there depends on you're using a 2.0.0b client or something else. If you're using the 2.0.0b client (the WoD default right now), you'd add (or edit whatever is in there) to be:

Listener
{
Port 2593
Encryption 2.0.0
}

If you want to use a different port, that's fine - just make sure its the same one you're using in the login.cfg file (or wodli.cfg file, if you're using the WoD files...) If you're using a different client version, you'll need to get a UORiced version of it. in that case, change the Encryption line to 'none'
