Partially functioning Application

[generalzod]

Just like the others, I've read and re-re-re-re read the guides,
and even followed them step by step.. I'm a networking
engineer with 15 years experience. I know networks, or so I think.

Now with that out of the way...
I've gotten this very simple little minilogon app to work fine.
I can run eqgame.exe patchme and basically get to the server
select screen, but nothing is listed since World.exe and the
5 batch zone thing isn't working/running.

World.exe always reports the same old error message.
xxxx@127.0.0.1 not authorized or whatever.

I have noticed the mysql is reporting that there is no ODBC
something.. It's listed on the first screen of winmysqladmin.
not sure what that's all about tho.

1. using Windows XP Pro
2. All IPs are set to localhost (i've tried 127.0.0.1)
3. mysql admin is running in the backround and has a green light
4. the name/password are simple works/works
5. no router / firewall and Windows XP fw is disabled

It would be nice to just get a zipped up package with everything
in it, a working package per'se. I've spent a good 5 to 6
hours just reading posts related to this issue, and twice that
troubleshooting the issue.. I have a feeling It's something
permissions related to SQL or ODBC but not exactly sure what.

Did you put in the code:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO '%'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '%' WITH GRANT OPTION;

A lot of people skip that part...

Also, World.exe and Boot5zones.bat need to be running... Post your LoginServer.ini file and your Boot5zones.bat and we'll see what we can do to help some more(assuming my previous advice didn't fix the problem).

yeah I've tried that as well. I'm about to start over again from scratch. no backround apps running, no excess services, ect..
then follow the guides word for word once again..

I'll keep you guys informed of my progress.. This seems like it
should be fairly easy to do..

NOTE: If you plan on making this a server where more than just you connect, you need to type in the "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO '%'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '%' WITH GRANT OPTION;" instead of "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO '%'@127.0.0.1 IDENTIFIED BY '%' WITH GRANT OPTION;"

I figured it out.. I didn't add the eqbackup00.sql file
chalk it up to user error #1001 yet again..

It works.. and thanks for the offers of assistance.. much appreciated. I left out the eqbackup00 file.
