When i run world it says "Couldn't open Database Config File '.\db.ini'
This makes no sense to me how can i fix it?

I would hate to ask a stupid question like ths but do you have a db\.ini in your eqemu folder?? some of the upgrades packages dont come with one.
if you do r u using linux or windows?

jetstrike, when posting images could you please format them as either JPEGs, GIFs, or PNGs? They'll show up a lot faster than BMPs (some browsers - the smart ones - actually don't support the BMP format at all). Your image was a meg and a half and took over a minute to show up (for me). If you're using Windows (*shudder*) ME, 2000, XP, or 2003 then you can convert them to JPEGs easily by opening the image in MS Paint and hitting "File" -> "Save As..." and selecting "JPEG (*.JPG;*.JPEG;*.JPE;*.JFIF)" in the "Save as type:" dropdown.

As to your problem, it definitely looks like a username/password issue for MySQL.

First make sure that MySQL is running (in Windows 2000, XP, or 2003 it'll probably be running as a service so you won't see a window for it - you'll need to check the "Services" section of your Control Panel). If it IS running, then you probably have the wrong username/password set up in your .\db.ini file in the EQEMu folder. It could also me that EQEMu's looking in the wrong database.

since it cannot even open db.ini how is it a password issue is what I am wondering.....

Edit: I believe the sql errors are a result of not being able to open the db.ini and retrieve the username and password... /shrug but I am a newb and probably wrong..

on your db.ini make sure there arn't any spaces after the username and password. I had that problem before, also you will get that error if your IP doesnt have access to the server.... did you run the following query?:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO Username@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'Password' WITH GRANT OPTION;


make sure you change Username@localhost and Password to what you have in your db.ini.

not having access to your databse is kinda a major problem!!!
