When i try to start world.exe i get this for a message..

C:\EQEmu>world.exe
[Debug] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_debug_world_2068.log
[Debug] [WORLD__INIT] Loading server configuration..

C:\EQEmu>



I found some threads on this subject but no working solution, is this possible to get working at the moment?

Try this: http://eqemulator.net/forums/showthread.php?t=20135

Though, I recommend using 4.0.

Right now MySQL 5 is not supported. However, here is a thread on how to make it work. ( I haven't tested this myself )
I use 4.0.26 and it works perfectly though

Edit: Cavedude beat me to it ;p

Dont try the OLD_Password trick for resetting the password either. Had to reinstall MySQL 5 after trying it once. Looks like there's a leak in the backward-compat part of 5.0+ hehe.

Gotta love it when the Latest & Greatest isn't so Great.
