I am having a somewhat similar problem. I run world.exe in the command prompt and the prompt says: Unable to load 'eqemu_config.xml' error: the file is empty. I am running:
Active Perl 5.8.2.808
I have the two dll files, my map files, and the spell files in the right place.
EqEmu-0.7.0-1129
MySQL 5.0.67 -win 32
Here is my eqemu config.xml file:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>JarksServer</shortname>
<longname>Virtue</longname>
<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
<!--<address></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>********</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>
</server>
And, of course my start.bat file is correct. Any ideas?
