Exact same errors

Well, im kinda at a loss for words. I sent you a pm yesterday, did you get it. Might be a avenue you want to pursue.

deleted everything, downloaded all the zips to a folder and followed your guide last night to a tee with even getting the older version of pearl, and im back to the original error. i figured id put as much info into this post to see if we're overlooking something.

at no point did i put eq in any of the script so im guessing it may be something in the peqdb i patched from wincvs.

okay figured out problem. there is 2 eqemu_config files
1. eqemu_config --- wich is a xml document
2. eqemu_config.xml ---wich is a full file it says
i was only rewriting the full file before. rewrote the other file and server has apperantly started
