Database connection issue

[zack221]

Hi just wondering if anyone out there could help me with this problem i am recieving. When i start my start.bat file nothing i happens one screen just flashes then closes the other just says:

Wait for world to finish loading. . . Press enter when done.
Press any key to continue. . .

then i just get a blank screen when i press a key.
i checked my log's in the Eqemu folder and this is what i get:

EQemu_debug_world_2308:
---------------------------------------------
[10.18. - 19:49:46] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_debug_world_2308.log

Can you post the contents your eqemu_config.xml file here please ?

And what version of mysql are you using ?

This sounds like the same exact problem im having, judging by the description he gave. I didnt know about checking the log file, but here is what mine says:

[10.18. - 16:21:43] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_debug_world_3924.log
[10.18. - 16:21:43] [WORLD__INIT] Loading server configuration..
[10.18. - 16:21:43] [WORLD__INIT_ERR] Loading server configuration failed.

Also, the version of Mysql is 5.0.45

The contents of my eqemu_config.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>Marr</shortname>
<longname>Oasis Revisited</longname>

<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
<address>10.1.1.51</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 configureation, replaces db.ini. -->
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>root</username>
<password>*******</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>
</server>

Thanks in advance

Is your config file in the same directory as world.exe ?

[FlitTastic]

Thats my eqemu_config.xml file and im using MySQL version 5.0.37

had this problem solved it by going back to cmd prompt after you source the db in mysql you need to do this line before you exit

set password for ‘root’@’localhost’ = OLD_PASSWORD(‘newpwd’);


Change NEWPWD to your password that you used in the Instance Configuration Wizard, and be sure to leave the quotes in there.
Now you can close the Command Prompt.
