Error on connecting to server

[Demonium]

Hi all!
I set up the server, and I can create an account, and log in and create a character.
Then, after the character creation, I'm asked to log in the game. But I see in bottom right the "Downloading" message flashing a couple of minutes, and I got an error message with a connection time out.
I'm launching the server on 127.0.0.1.
Here are some log from map-server.log:

[22:51:23][1;37m[Info][0m [1;37mmapsession[0m:[1;37m127.0.0.1[0m:[1;37m54090[0m is coming to world...

and it goes like this for a couple of line more.

Do you guys have any clue on this problem?

The wiki explanation doesn't seem to lay it out, or it's considered fixed. I'm not certain which.

The first few logins with a new character aren't always successful. Try to log in, wait for either success or an error message, and then back all the way out of the client, including the FFXI-Boot/mXI login window. Your goal is a graceful close, not a red-x-task-manager-end-task. The first login shouldn't take more than 3 attempts, but toss it a fourth to be sure. Patience is the key. After that, you'll get in the first time 19 out of 20 times, easily. If you don't, wait for map server to reduce the zone counter and try again, otherwise you end up with exactly the message you're getting now Connecting is usually pretty smooth, except for that first time.

Finally, it worked. Thanks!

if that persists, you can delete the information for your character in the char_sessions table.
