Cannot seem to get tools to work
 

Just got server up and running perfectly 1/9/12. Thought it was time to start adjusting things. Downloaded georges tools eqitem editor. Installed Ocx drivers worked perfectly. Changed the DB.ini to
host=localhost
user=root
password=@@@@@@
database=peq
everquest_folder=c:everquest

Everything is looking good. Then bam fire it up and Error connecting to database - perhaps a missing version field in variables table?

So i looked all over and only advice i found was some tables don't have the version info update the database. I don't quite understand how to do that considering i have the most recent db i can find. Any other suggestions on how to fix this little problem? Fyi sometimes i can be a lil dense so as much of a walkthrew fix as any can provide would be very much appreciated.

You didn't mention if you ran the register_ocx.bat file in the resources folder.
Have you run that?

Yes i ran the ocx.bat they installed correctly.

Getting frustrated
 

Was getting way way frustrated then bam i forgot a simple \ in the .ini file.
host=localhost
user=root
password=@@@@@@
database=peq
everquest_folder=c:everquest
should have been
host=localhost
user=root
password=@@@@@@
database=peq
everquest_folder=c:\everquest

Rolfl i'm such a tool sometimes!
