Is this happening for everyone?

I got the newest release of emu and tried to start it up. This is the first update I've done since 6.2. with 6.2 working fine. The problem is that world.exe closes as soon as it opens up. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks all...

Try opening world from a command prompt and see if it spits out an error. However, it's probably a problem with your configuration file somehwere. Make sure your brackets are all closed, are in the right place/format, and watch what you use to edit the file. Use notepad if you can as that adds no additional format marks and such. If you're under Linux, doesn't use gedit I learned that myself.

I would start with a fresh config file from the wiki and slowly edit it, starting world with every change until you are through.

Something that I also noticed, when first setting up the new config file, is that if you try opening the file up in Internet Explorer and there are any errors in the file IE will most likely catch them giving you some kind of idea about where the problem is. If the file opens up just fine in IE then you "should" be good to go.

On a side note, I use Textpad instead of notepad you may wish to look into this as it offers a little bit more then notepad does and does not mess with the formating of the file.

World did that to me at first also. You should be able to look into the Log folder in eqemu and there should be an error file for world. Mine did it because i had some info wrong in the config.xml file for the database. So when i would start it it poped up and the promptly closed leaveing a world error file in logs.
Also it did it when i was messing with the ips so just look in your log folder and see what is causing it. It sounds like world is not connecting to your DB for some reason and if it can not connect world will promplty close

So I would clear out my log folder in eqemu and then try starting eqemu when it closes out read the new loggs it will give you the reason why it closed out in one of the 2 new files created then just edit that area of the config.xml.

Also if IE won't open the .xml file add a ? mark to the end of this
<?xml version="1.0"> so it is like this <?xml version="1.0"?> it is the only error i had in the xml file that came with eqemu.

New config file??? I looked in the wiki and don't see any info on setting up the server with these new files. Anyone have a link to an example of a set up file and is the eqemu_config.xml file the only one you need to set up? Thanks all for the info.
