I tried the changes you suggested but it still says it cannot continue without a database connection(as the error log says above) even though i can access the DB easily with navicat or mysql front, which tells me the grant options are fine in the DB. There is something wrong in the xml is the only thing i can think of. Also, with this new setup, is the start up routine world.exe, eqlaunch.exe, zone.exe? Is that right? and where does minilogin come into play now? I like the fact that all the .ini files are combined now, just figuring out how to do the initial configuration is the problem, thanks all.
