Something Strange Indeed.
 

Ok, I have setup about a dozen EQEmu servers in my time, and have used MYSQL and the associated DB's that are availble to EQEmu for quite a while, when i installed the latest version of EQEmu and tried to run World.exe i got an unexpected error that i cannot seem to correct...I checked and rechecked my user / pass in both db.ini and my.ini at least 10 times to verify they are the same...they are. None-the-less i still got all this junk when I run world.exe.

Any Ideas?

Seems to me like its dropping over and over. I have no idea why. I am using MySql latest stable version.

Thanks for lookin at this

looks like you didnt do the grant command in Mysql.

Would this be what you mean?
 

INSERT INTO account SET name='eqemu', password='eqemu', status=200;

Where 'eqemu' is my account / pass?

I inserted this by doing the standard

use eq;
INSERT INTO account SET name='eqemu', password='eqemu', status=200;

It did it, and then i tried using world.exe and got the same screen / errors as my first post. when i tried using the

world adduser eqemu eqemu 200 -- i got this instead. Says mysql has "gone away" again.

C:\EqEmu>world adduser eqemu eqemu 200

database.CreateAccount failed.

I tried doing the Grant all access as posted in the sticky, here's what happened:

mysql> use eq;
Database changed
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON eq.* TO someid@"%"
-> IDENTIFIED BY 'somepass' WITH GRANT OPTION;
ERROR 1044: Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'eq'

I'm getting sorta confused about now :(

you need to get that fixxed, there is a lot of diferent ways to do the command some work for some others work for other people, search the forum for the diferent ways to do this till you find one that works.

I used the

mysql -u root mysql to fix the problem with mysql, thanks :D
