sounds like the grant statement wasnt done.

from the server setup guide

Create EQ Database


1. Make sure you followed the instructions in the cvs section for adding mysql binaries to the %path%.
2. Open a DOS prompt
Win98/95/ME - start->run->command
Win2k/XP/2k3 - start->run->cmd
3. Type in the following:
c:
cd "\eqemu\cvs\eqemu\eqemu release"
mysql -u root mysql
4. Inside of mysql, type these commands:
create database eq;
grant all privileges on *.* to test@localhost identified by 'test' with grant option;
quit
5. You should see the following as output from above:
Code:
C:\EqEmu\cvs\eqemu\EQEMu Release>mysql -u root mysql
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 22 to server version: 3.23.57-nt

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> create database eq;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> grant all privileges on eq.* to test@localhost identified by 'test'
with grant option;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> quit
Bye

C:\EqEmu\cvs\eqemu\EQEMu Release>

6. Back in the DOS prompt, type this command:
mysql -u test -p eq
7. You should see a password prompt - enter in your password ('test' in this sample). You should see the following:
Code:
C:\EqEmu\cvs\eqemu\EQEMu Release>mysql -u test -p eq
Enter password: ****
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 24 to server version: 3.23.57-nt

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

I closed mysql thats what happened. I have another question. I uninstalled mysql a while back but when i reinstalled it for EQEMU it didn't ask to enter in a new ID and sometimes the grant command won't work for my ID.. It's kind of confusing to explain

I have a new and unique problem.

I've searched around and i think i have a unique problem.
I finally have my server up and running. I can see it and get to a char select screen. But when i go to get on a character. I get sent out to the server select screen or even the title screen and sometimes it crashes my computer!!! with no err. messages. Other people get 1017 when trying to login.

Here is my info:

db.ini

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

loginserver.ini

[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net
loginserver2=eqlogin2.eqemulator.net
loginserver3=eqlogin3.eqemulator.net
loginport=5997
loginport=5997
loginport=5997
worldname=you don't need to know that
worldaddress=internal ip
locked=false

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=0
Unavailzone=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Standalone
ServerPort=5999
UplinkAddress=
UplinkPort=
UplinkAccount=
UplinkPassword=

boot5zones.bat

@echo off

if NOT exist spells_us.txt goto NOSPELL

start zone . external IP 7995 internal ip
start zone . external ip 7996 internal ip
start zone . external ip 7997 internal ip
start zone . external ip 7998 internal ip
start zone . external ip 7999 internal ip
exit
cls

Now the output

world.exe

Any suggestions would be helpful

i believe your worldaddress in the login.ini should be your external ip..(ie real ip addy)

[nascarfan1888]

i believe your worldaddress in the login.ini should be your external ip..(ie real ip addy)

I did that and i am back with the 1017 error.

[samandhi]

Did you try and read and DO the things listed in THIS post?

[Chicomalo]

Try updating your self also.

http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12723

That might help also

[Chicomalo]

Yea that post is good so check the should help you with any error you have. One thing I notice is that to make sure your using the right version of Eqemu that can work with your latest EQLive update. Remeber not to update Feb 10th, so if your uptodate with EQLive, then the server should still run good. Also make sure your Spell file from your EQ Live Dir is copy and replace for update on your Eqemu. That should help alot but follow that site it will help get most of your common problems figure out.

Good Luck

[nascarfan1888]

I am going to start over from scratch because i found other problems. I will use the 053 dr3 source and create my own.
Thanks for all help.
