Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks in advance... :)

Do a forum search for your error numbers.

A suggestion from a 30 second search: Make sure that the mysql task is running (CTRL-ALT-DEL and check running processes), if it isn't run winmysqladmin.exe in your \mysql\bin\ directory (a green stoplight icon appears in the systray)

(Possibly) Your going to have to get the guilds.sql file... Then when you go into MsDos after you get the guild.sql file.. do the following...

I may be wrong, im not that sure...

Your are not using a proper user id / password pair. LOTS of threads here about that. Hard to find in a search, but it is a sticky - read down for the appropriate information. Otherwise visit mysql.com and read up on their permissions for mysql.

did you grant your username privileges in Mysql? if you don't know what i'm talking about then thats your prob...


Kgaul

Ok, I no longer have the #2006 error!! But where another problem is fixed another problem arises! ~ thanks everyone!

Anything I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance! :)

It would be a good idea to patch eq client to live again. Do a thorough file check to be sure that your files match exactly the files of eqlive. Do not run the eqemu patcher. When done patching eq client to live, update eqhosts.txt again.

Youre connecting to the 0.4.4 logon server...

Use port 5997 if you're running the 0.5.0 server binaries...

Ok I changed it to port 5997 and the same errors and I'm updated to live... still not working... :(

Did you run a thorough file check or not?

Yes, I ran it.

Are you still getting the Guild errors when you start world?

What Binaries are you using the precompiled ones or ones you compiled yourself?


Are there any other errors when you run world or zone?

Have you tried Dropping the DB and redoing it?

What DB are you using?

Were there any errors when you sourced in the DB?

EDIT===Are you able to connect to any other servers?
Give us info!!!!

Are you still getting the Guild errors when you start world? Nope :)

What Binaries are you using the precompiled ones or ones you compiled yourself? Precompiled.


Are there any other errors when you run world or zone? Only the error above.

Have you tried Dropping the DB and redoing it? Nope(will try)

What DB are you using? Don't know what you mean... the one that came with 5.0... I think

Were there any errors when you sourced in the DB? No.

Are you able to connect to any other servers? Yes I can connect to other servers :)

Just want to say thanks for your time everyone.

i couldnt get the db/sql to work from the 5.0 zip either. but i did get the database from tcmyworld to work fine. check under worldbuilding 5.0 database update ect. get the latest alpha one and then the update file from 11-16-03 i think. good luck.

Ok, I found it and I tried it. Still no go though. I might re-install EQ all over again and remove MYSQL and try again since I have a little bit more knowledge now. But I won't try until tomorrow. I need some sleep now, heh. Anyways if you have any ideas, I still have the problem. Thanks again! :D :)
