i cant help you. you got further than me. i cant get past the patch. no administrators or anyone will help me out. i wonder whats goin on?
good luck

are you getting error #1045 or #2001? i was stuck on that for a hell of a long time. if you are go to the how to and tutorial section and read Devlor's set-by-step and go to step #14 and read what he has to say about the GRANT PRIVLEGES command. it help me a ton.
hope you get it workin

I had the same prblem with the patcher, it would keep changing my eqhost.txt file back.
As far as I can see you need to run EQW 2.32 to play locally, it gives you the option not to patch, so you're eqhost.txt file dosen't get changed. I can't remember where to get it, but if you do a forum search on EQW, it's not too hard to find.

ok got it to work got to login screen but my server isent there

[wdrng]

Check on what your world.exe window says and post it, it sounds like something isen't configured correctly for your server.

[tazzio]

ok this is what i do and this is what happens i click minilogin and it says
loginserver.ini read
miniloginaccounts.ini read
servermode :standalone
login server listening on port:5999
and then it stays open

i then click world.exe not sure what it says because it closes to soon beffore i can read it

i then click bootzone.bat it
it starts of by opening up some zone things then thay all close and im left with 1 saying read this first and says file recuirs your real ip in the place of hosthere when you are conecting to eqemuserver

again im stuped please help arnt all the zones suposed to stay open when you click bootzone.bat
i can get into a login server that will take any username and pass i put in and shows no servers

[tazzio]

REM: ****Read this first!!!****

REM: This file requires your real IP in the place of "hosthere" when you are connecting
REM: To the EQEmu Loginserver.

REM: When you are using minilogin, Replace all IP Addresses to say 127.0.0.1

REM: If you still get errors try using localhost instead of 127.0.0.1

REM:--------------Start-----------------------
@echo off

if NOT exist spells_en.txt goto NOSPELL

start zone . localhost 7995 localhost
start zone . localhost 7996 localhost
start zone . localhost 7997 localhost
start zone . localhost 7998 localhost

:NOSPELL
echo You did not copy the spells_en.txt from your everquest directory to this one. Please do so or zones will crash on startup.

thanks how iv done the bootzone.bat i have pasted the spells-en.text in not sure whay its not reading it

You are correct, your boot5zones sould open 5 windows that stay open, but your world.exe should remain open as well. I think that world.exe is probably your problem (if it closes, there's no world for you to connect to, which is probably whey you can't see your server).

Paste what you've got in your db.ini, and your LoginServer.ini files here.

### --- This file tells world.exe what computer mySQL is on. Host should
### --- be left "localhost" unless mysql is on a differant computer than world.exe.

login
### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.
### --- Leave the account and password field BLANK.

### --- Public Login is un-supported as is LAN playing. We reccomend using the EQEmu.net Loginserver ALWAYS.

### --- NOTE: Starting 6-1-2002, you can no longer use the word "Server" in worldname.
### --- NOTE2: the word "Server" is added to each server automaticly.

hmmmm. If you're just trying to play locally on your PC, you'll need to change LoginServer and Longinserver2 values to
localhost
instead of the eqemu servers

Other then that, it seems to be okay, but I'm a little tired right now and may have missed something.
:)



-------EDIT---------
oops. That change should be made in your LoginServer.ini file
There's that tired thing again.

You may also want to mask your password when posting your db.ini file. Just replace the word with *****
