ok everytime i load World.exe i get these errors

connected to loginserver: newlogin1.eqemulator.net:5994
Database Error: lost connection, attempting to recover
DB Query error #2006: MYSQL server gone away
Error: DBAsyncCB_Loadvariables Failed: !GetAnswer: '#2006 MYSQL server gone away

thats the error that keeps comming up when i load it, does it have anything to do with the fact i cannot grant all privilages with my user name and pass?

has anyone had the same problem?

any help will be greatly appriciated

is your server running under windows or linux?
also is your database server running on the same box as the eqemu server?
I had this same error on my new linux boxes. All I had to do was change the variable where the mysql server was listening on.
in other words my server was only listening on 127.0.0.0, and I needed it to listen on my local network address, once I changed that poof it all worked great

ya im running it on windows, and im running it on the same comp as emu, and yes i did change 127.0.0.0 to my internal ipYou might want to try another 127.x.x.x address, ie: 127.0.0.1, and see if that helps.

Also, logging into your MySQL server gives no trouble? ie:
mysql -u eqemu -p
Password: *****
And then switching to your DB and testing a SELECT query? (not thorough by any means, but worth a check)
use eq;
SELECT * from account LIMIT 1;
