Installation Problems -- Please Help :)

[Varkalas D`Lonovan]

I followed the "Setup Guide For 0.7.0" step by step and all of my ini files and the xml file coincide with every other correct MiniLogin setup I've seen on the forums thus far. When I run "EQEmu" (start.bat), minilogin.exe runs and prints the following out:

LoginServer.ini read.
[Status] Loading opcodes..
Server mode: MiniLogin
Login server listening on port:5999

And Waiting for World to finish before starting Zone... is in the other window.

But world.exe never pops up, and if I try to run it manually it opens up its window but then closes instantaneously.

As a result, 20 seconds afterwards eqlaunch.exe gets executed and prints out:

[Debug] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_debug_1268.log
[Debug] [LAUNCHER__INIT] Loading server configuration..
[Debug] [NET__WORLD] WorldConnection connect: Connecting to the server 127.0.0.1
:9000 failed: TCPConnection::Connect(): connect() failed. Error: 10061
[Debug] [LAUNCHER__ERROR] worldserver.Connect() FAILED! Will retry.
[Debug] [LAUNCHER__INIT] Starting main loop...

I'm thinking it might be a problem with the database... but I followed everything on the setup site very carefully (I did not, however, complete the optional step). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Varkalas
