Okay so as usual, I spend hours trying to figure something out, break down and ask for help on forums, then figure it out 5 minutes later. I turns out I had to (A) have the server running (not evident to me), (B) run HediSQL and (C) start a new session with eqemu as the password. I figured this out purely by guesswork and trial & error, but database is open now and I see all the PEQ files, so it should all be good.
