I dont remember putting in something that made reference to setting up a 'eq' account for mysql. I always use root until I get the hang of mysql, if your not used to using it. Try to to use the root username and the password that you put in when you ran the instance server configuration. By using root, I mean in your eqemu_config.xml file.

Also to note, as I got a pm about this. When you uninstall mysql, you have to also go and remove the files and the directory manualy. In this directory, is a mysql database for itself that contains password and user information. If you do not delete this, and everything else, you will have tons of trouble when reinstalling. So do this, and then remove all the files from your emulator directory. Start back from complete scratch, using only what Is said in my guide, that way you have cut out multiple varibles so it is easier to troubleshoot.

This is just a personal opinion, as you can continue to work at your current set up in hopes of getting it going if you want to.

I know that someone along the lines you strayed from my guide alone as you have the 'eq' username. I know this comes from a early stage 0.7.0 guide as well as older 0.6.x versions. Try to stick with one guide as going between them for any reason is going to cause issues because the writes of the guides use different versions to get the server going. The only guides I recommend used in conjuction with mine are listed in it, and thats the Play Guide at the top, and the minilogin guide at the bottom. With the minilogin guide there are some steps that are not required, and there are some steps that you have to cater to my guide. This is the reason that I suggest using the public login, as there is less varible to look at when there is a problem. Once you get one going with just the basics, you can explore other avenues.

Anyhow, enough with the opinions. Let me know how using the root username goes.
