Most people can close Winmysqladmin completely and still be able to connect (it keeps mysql-nt.exe in Windows Processes).

Re-run winmysqladmin.exe, minimize it then try again.. i will fix the readme.

Also, there's a post about 2006 error on the top of this forum.

Hmmmm....why are we constantly reprinting info from the readme.txt file in these forums? I'm not gonna answer that question because the majority of us already know. /bonk anyone who doesn't use the readme. That is your first line of tech support.

Ok my bad...you are not trying to run without a database, rather the program is having trouble finding a database on your local machine.

Everytime i go to the mysql and type use eq it says DB changed, but when i type source db.sql it says this

E
and so on

You already have the database loaded, of course its going to spit out a million duplicate items when you source db.sql.

drop database eq;
create database eq;
source db.sql;

thanks trump that worked. But i am still getting errors about 2006. i read the post about it and did this.

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON eq.* TO Ashy@localhost INDENTIFIED BY <mypass> WIT
H GRAN OPTION

but it didnt do anything that i noticed.

When i open World.exe it still says the same thing listed in previous posts.

also in my winmysqladim under process it still doesnt list a DB

user/pass??
 

[Database]
host=localhost
user=my minilogin username
password=my minilogin password
database=eq

You are not putting minilogon user/pass are you? You are putting in the user/pass that you made for MySQL?

Thought i'd ask. Your post was not clear.

yeah i think i am. i forgot my MYSQL password/username. But everytime i go to the MS window to fix it nohing happens

Open up winmysqladmin, your username and password are listed there under the my.ini Setup tab.

ok i did and it seems as though its the same as mini login

Actually minilogin is eqemu eqemu, but any username and pw provided will work.

im still getting the same errors

Grr all i wanna do is make items

DB.ini HAS to have your mySQL login and password. if you forgot it then delete c:\windows\my.ini then re-run Winmysqladmin.exe and make a new one.
