Ok, the buttons in the box where you type a post, at the end you will see a # sign. Highlight the text you want to put into a code box, and then click that little # to put code tags around it.

Anyhow, there is multiple formating issues in your config post, dont know if the forums are to blame, or if it looks like that actually in your file, but here is a exact look of what you should see.

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
    <world>
        <shortname>WorldServ</shortname>
        <longname>Eversmack</longname>
               
    <!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
        <!--<address>Serving Machines IP</address>-->
        <!--<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>-->
       
    <!-- Loginserver information.  -->
        <loginserver>
            <host>eqemulator.net</host>
            <port>5998</port>
            <account></account>
            <password></password>
        </loginserver>

        <!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
        <key>some long random string</key>

        <!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service. -->
        <http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
    </world>

    <!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. -->
    <database>
        <host>localhost</host>
        <port>3306</port>
        <username>root</username>
        <password>megamanX</password>
        <db>peq</db>
    </database>
</server>

Feel free to copy that as it is directly into your eqemu_config.xml file. Cut and Paste to prevent any errors. That is taliored to you so you should have to change anything,

Also, when you put your password in, did you capitalize the X in megamanX also. Did you do this when you ran the

set password for 'root'@'localhost' = OLD_PASSWORD('megamanX');
