very frustarated, what am I doing wrong?

[veggita2099]

Ok I have been sitting here for the past hour and a half trying to get this to work. I have used that other server emulator and had no problems (other then the fact you can't do squat with the other one seems like). Anyways I have followed the readme file verbatem 3 times through and keep getting errors. I have the latest eqw.exe, latest eqemu, and latest mysql. I set the eq database up in mysql as the file said. I copied the db.sql to the mysql/bin folder, I copied the eqhost.txt file to the eq directory (the one for the local login, I did double check it). I have copiedthe spdat.eff file in the eqemu directory. Here is what the files look like. I did copy and not cut these, so I didn't delete any files in the process.

eqhost.txt (which is currently in my eq dir)
[Registration Servers]
{
"localhost:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"localhost:5999"
}
db.ini (which is currently in myeqemu dir)*I obviously didn't post my username/password, but I know they are right*

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

loginserver.ini (which is in my eqemu dir)
[LoginServer]
loginserver=localhost
worldname=Jimbo's Server
locked=false
account=
password=
worldaddress=localhost
loginport=5999

boot5zones.bat (in the eqemu dir)

REM:--------------Start-----------------------

REM:---------------END------------------------


Problem I get is when I run World.exe and Boot5zones.bat. I have the mysql running in the background (has the little traffic signal beside my clock)


When I run minilogin in says:

[loginconfig] block not found in loginserver.ini
server mode : standalone
Login Server Listening on port :5999

Then I run World.exe and it has a bunch of stuff but errors include
Access denied for user myusername
error #2006 my sql server has gone away
error in populatezones list
error in getguildranks...db query error

When I run Boot5zones.bat it gives basically the same errors as world.exe in every window. And If I go ahead adn try to go on eqw.exe it just reboots my computer.

My system is running Windows XP pro I have
amd atholon 1.8
512 megs ram
geforce 3 128megs of ram ti200
cable modem (don't think it should matter?)


So I think my system should be plenty big enough?

Anybody have any idea what I am doing wrong. Like I said I have followed the instructions to the word about 3 times in a row. I have double checked my username/password and I am typeing it in lowercase (which is how I created it). I copied all the files it told me to copy and ran everything from step 1 all the way through.

I was hopeing to set a server up for a friend of mine to join me on, but if I can't get it let me log in local Im not going to attempt that.
