Im not sure why it cannot connect
Also, I do not have mysql_nt running in the background, that just gives me another error and I took the advice from another topic not to have that open. Is there something im doing wrong in MySql, should I be running a server in mysql?

you didnt grant yourself permition to use it :shock:

do a search for granting permition or the error #, there is many many ways to fix this error but some work for some people and others for other people. Just keep trying all you see till you find the one that works for you.

would use zone.exe not the debug version..also check your grant statement so the emu can connect to your DB

Alright, dumb mistake but what do I put in between the * *?

Quote:

grant all privileges on *.* to yourmysqlusernamehere@localhost identified by 'yourmysqlpasswordhere' with grant option;

the topic did'nt say

from dos
change dir to your mysql dir

then

mysql -u root mysql
grant all privileges on *.* to username@localhost identified by 'password' with grant option;

change the username to the name you have for mysql and password to the password...leave the ticks in

I dont use my login to eqemu, correct? I use the one I signed in for
WinMySQLadmin correct? sorry to say again but what do I put in between the *.* in

grant all privileges on *.* to yourmysqlusernamehere@localhost identified by 'yourmysqlpasswordhere' with grant option;

Do I use Localhost?

Ok, it said..

Query OK, 0 rows affected <0.03 sec>

What do I do next?

see if it fixxed it =)

ok, I closed mysql and im still getting #2003

useing zone.exe now or still the zonedebug.exe read b4 someone had probs with the debug version

I have the zone.exe file... read what?

you are using a ZONEDEBUG version of the zones file, Also there is newer binaries so you may want to take this time to get the new binaries that dont use that debug.

change your boot5zones.bat from

see if that works..if not just move up to the new dr3 and start from scratch

Aye I did that, I changed the zone thing, still got the connection problem, if I had it zonedebug still it wouldnt have even let me boot up and would have closed the windows real fast.. hmm move to dr3.. could you point to me where to get that? sorry, im lousy :?

what matt said..hehe

oki doke, ;p thanks, hopefully ill be out of your hair for an hour :) thanks matt and wiz

Mr's Errors and Mine

Ok I'm having the exact same error on bootup as MrFox only when I try to run mysql -u root mysql, it sends me to the dirrectory that mysql is in instead of running the mysql proggy :-(

Anyone know about this?

erb2k

ok, I had this trouble for a short time before I realized that SQL is case sensitive

check your db.ini file

make sure the name and password is exact (case sensitive)

Trouble should go away

That error simply means it cant find your database

MySQL is only as case sensitive as the OS it's on. If you're running Windows then you don't need to worry about having the correct case. If you're running the MySQL server on Linux then you do.

If it said that 0 rows were affected (which it did) then it never added your user. I've run into that myself. For some reason it wouldn't create users for me through the command line. I would suggest using a program similar to PHPMyAdmin (only if you have a web server on that computer too) or MySQL-Front to create the user.

Or, if you wanna try it again then use the syntax below (just run the first line if your database is on the same computer as World.exe and Zone.exe).

Quote:

GRANT ALL on [database].* to '[username]'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '[password]' WITH GRANT OPTION;
GRANT ALL on [database].* to '[username]'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '[password]' WITH GRANT OPTION;

Just be sure to replace the bold text with your database name, username, and password.

Remove the "." infront of zone name the period.

i typed in
mysql>GRANT ALL on eq to (user)@localhost IDENTIFIED BY (Password)WITH GRANT OPTION;

and he gave me that Error:

Error:1064 You have an error in Your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '(Password) WITH GRANT OPTION' at line 1

anyone can help me???!!! :P :P :P

Your password needs to be in quotes. Doesn't matter if it's double or single though.

IT WORKS!!!!! IM SO HAPPYYY!!!!!! :P :P :P
