I think I am almost there, I have
latest eq code
eqemu 0.3.4
eqw 2.22
The latest minilogin.exe posted on the main homepage
mysql is setup
I used world.exe flag eqemu 200 to set up my login.

I launch in the order
minilogin.exe
then world.exe
then the boot5zones.bat

everything comes up and looks the way the readme says it should
but when I launch eqw I do not get the login where it asks for your account key and your hostname and your user and password it looks as if I was logging into reguler everquest.
I remember in a previous version of the emu I got working I had to delete some files in the eq directory before this would work like bmpwad6.s3d
and somthing else but I cannot find the old documentation. When I enter eqemu as username
and password in the reguler login area it gives me the 1002 error. I swear I did my homework and tried to find the answer in the forum but I cannot .
Please help Im stuck, what am I forgetting? any help appreciated.

Did you change eqhost.txt?

Here is my eqhost.txt:
[Registration Servers]
{
"localhost:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"localhost:5999"
}

I followed the readme to the letter.
Here is my loginserver.ini:
[LoginServer]
loginserver=localhost
loginserver2=localhost
loginport=5999
loginport2=5999
worldname=Unnamed server
locked=false
account=
password=
worldaddress=127.0.0.1

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Standalone
ServerPort=5999

And hee is my db.ini:
[Database]
host=localhost
user=myuser
password=mypassword
database=eq

In the "good 'ol days" I remember having to
to do somthing like renaming the eqmain.dll
and the bmpwad6.s3d, but when I do that eqw
complains it cannot fin the eqmain.dll
so I put them back....
Im not sure what I am forgetting?

(I would be super sad about this if I did not have an earlier version working at home, but I would love to try the new version with all the cool new commands.)

Awsome, After trying your suggestions I now get to the server login screen, and I think there is one more step. I see my server but when I try to log in I get dumped back to my desktop. The zone server shows an error:

Error in GetMessageNum query 'SELECT id FROM EQMessages WHERE recip = 'Caleeb''
#1146: Table 'eq.eqmessages' dosen't exist
Client disconnected: Caleeb
Dropping client...blah blah blah.

But I recall somthing in the readme about making my perferred server turn green???
Back to the books, but I think I am just about there.:)

BTW Caleeb is the character I was able to create with no problem. ALSO, In the server select screen
I see:
[0.3.4]Unnamed Server 0

and if I recall, 0 is the amount of active zones?
I get bumped when I hit enter world from the character select screen.

Sounds like yuo don't have an eqmessage table. What database are you using?

I apologize for leaving this thread open.
With some help on the post marked "Immediate LD"
I finally got it running and it was in fact
a combination of the eqmessage table and the
setting in the datarate.txt file in the everquest
directory(set it from 5.0 to 10.0)
Now it seems to be working fine. Thanks again though, without your help I would not have even got that far. The support here is better then most tech support I have worked with.:D

-You dont have to delete anything anymore.
-You dont get a green preferred servername unless Hogie or Pyrotek give you a special account for that
-Don't use the word "server" or "Server" in worldname
-The number after your server shows how many people are logged in and not how many zones are running (anymore).
