<sigh> and this would be why I don't usually reply to board support requests on any site... perhaps something in my personality...

I wasn't "on your case". Irregardless, there is no point continuing down that road.

Anyway...

Assuming that you have the MySQL service running, it is immaterial what your database is called.

As an example, the file named db.ini in your EQEmu directory should look like the following:

[Database]
host=localhost
user=username
password=password
database=eq
compression=off

Note that the line database=eq should be database=db on your system if that is what your database is called. The examples and instructions on the site make the assumption that your database is named eq (most tutorials instruct you to name it eq) - so perhaps this is where your confusion lies?

For the record, VooodooKiller28, perhaps I came across a bit rough in my earlier post and if so, I apologize.

If you continue to have problems with this, I would request that you post the contents of you db.ini file and perhaps the other files as well since your server is still not working ( loginserver.ini , miniloginaccounts.ini (if applicable) and output from minilogin.exe , world.exe and boot5zones.bat ).

Also, watch for trailing spaces - mostly a NO-NO in these files, with the exception of the miniloginaccounts.ini file. I had to edit mine on the command line to get it working because W!ndows was putting an invisible <CR> at the end of the lines. Ugh. Vi and edit.com are so much friendlier that way.

Good luck.
