one quick look shows you setting login port to 5990. should be 5998.

Well for one, you cant follow the guide as closely as possible. You need to follow it step by step and do exactly as it says.

Here is the step you missed,

SET PASSWORD for 'root'@'localhost' = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd');

You will see this in the guide after the database setup. It is a MANDATORY step as it allows the emu to connect to the database using a password scheme similar to MySQL 4 which the emu is built upon.

If this does not work, double triple check your username and passwords in your mysql and in your eqemu_config.xml file.

i actuly did do that, but as i said i was tired and probably made mistakes, tyvm :D

edit: Just fixed that typo Darkonig, ty:)

Changing the port at which world looks for the loginserver is not your current problem, although it was a problem. Your server wasnt connecting to MySQL to get the database information. Did you get this fixed?

[un3n]

no not yet, i tried to go into the cmd and put in "SET PASSWORD for 'root'@'localhost' = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd');" JIC i did happen to do it rong or somthing and when i go to type in " MySQL -u root -p" i get "mysql is not a known command" (or somthing of that sort)
