this is about the 30th time in the last month this issue has come up in a new thread.
You have a DB issue, your DB is NOT compadable with the version of EQEMU you are running. Check what others were told to do to fix this error.

Actually you are incorrect. The db file is what came in the version of EqEmu I am running. Though I DID find why I am having problems with connecting <the error loading items is probably due to the same thing>, and that is that I am running 0.5.2, and not 0.5.3, and I have read that it is not compatible any longer.
I am not trying to be a jerk and REALLY dont want to get flamed for this, but there is a reason that there are so many re-posts on the same issue. Yes, some people are too lazy to read the forums or do a search. I have done all of these. The problem is, less the people I just mentioned, is there are way too many outdated guides and tips that lead a person in circles. Put yourself in a newbie frame of mind..If you are lost, but want to learn, and thereby be up on what is going on so you can contribute to the project in any way possible, you dont want to search for something, then try it, and find out it is totally out of date or most of the procedures dont fit any more. This is what happened to me. I DID manage to set up my server with NO help <to this point> with the guides, but I had to "bit and piece" most of them together, because NONE of them are "step-by-step", correct as of today..... Sorry for running on, but I just dont want to get flamed <yes I realize some people deserve it> for trying to learn something new. You all do an awesome job on the project.
As to my problem, I have moved on from what my post was to a new problem. Matter of fact I was on my way back to this post to edit it to reflect the new info I have, when you had already posted on it. .... The new problem is I found the new copy of eqemu, but it is in source and I do not know how to compile it. I have tried using part of a guide that shows how to compile cvs and tried to use common sense, but it is not working to my likeing... Could you direct me to a link or tell me how to either compile the source or let me know if there is a eqemu 0.5.3 binary somewhere? I could not find either in search.. 0.5.2 is the newest listed on sourceforge.net and just happened by the link to the 0.5.3 source on the forums <is not posted anywhere on the eqemulator.net site that I saw>.....
