SQL Version

[Pneu]

Hello EqEmu folks, i'm back after a very long break and thought i'd check out EqEmu again to see how it has progressed

However i'm stuck setting up my server because it refuses to talk to the SQL database and i'm not sure why. I have vigorously checked logins/passwords for it, I even tried downing my firewall just incase.

I piped World.exe's error to a text file and got this:

Runtime errors:

MySQL Error #1405 or #2001 means your mysql server rejected the username and password you presented it.

Hit any key to exit

Which very much seems to imply I have not set up my SQL username/password properly, but I am sure I have and have even deleted the my.ini in my Windows folder.

So I was wondering - as I am a fresh download - does EqEmu require an older version of SQL? I am using MySql 4.0.18.

I am using XP Professional, and it is a fresh install from just a few weeks back. I am using Minilogin which I found in my archive of downloads. Everything else is the latest version as of last night.
