Cannot Login to my own server, it is stuck at loading please wait, I am using Rev 1052 or 53, I am using Titanium and really need to get this set up so it can be used over a network for my mother and her friends. Please help me, I followed the wiki and am still having these problems. Thank you ahead of time

Make sure you have the proper port ranges forwarded on your router. The FAQ in my sig might be of some assistance.

Any errors in your logs?

[jkennedy]

make sure you have all your server files when i had my ports wrong it let me log ion just not anyone else

[Skathix]

Checking all those things, I don't think that my ports have anything to do with it. I think I may know whats wrong, at first, I opened eq.exe or whatever it is and it downloaded the sony launchpad thing, will that mess anything up?

[Skathix]

Here is something, World.exe keeps crashing, I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate

[Skathix]

World.exe crashes when I try to connect to it, I am connecting from the same computer it is on, is that A problem?

[jkennedy]

yes thats a problem go to u logs and show us the log for world.exe

[Skathix]

Where do I find the log, I see several logs but they all just say

---------------------------------------------
[12.28. - 15:40:19] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_error_world_4044.log
[12.28. - 15:40:19] Failed to connect to database: Error: #1045: Access denied for user 'eq'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

But it says that as soon as I run it and then it goes through as soon as there is a connection available

Your server will never work until you get this problem resolved. It should be killing the world.exe when this error occurs. You need to make sure you have your database login info setup properly. Have you created an account for "eq", which is the username you are trying to use in the config? If not, you need to create one with the appropriate rights to connect to your database.

You can test the connection pretty easily by trying to connect to MySQL with that login information. At your command prompt, just type:

mysql -u eq -p

Then hit enter and put in your password when prompted. If you can't log in that way, then your server isn't going to be able to log in with that same info. You can also test by putting your mysql root login info into your config and see if that helps. It is not recommended to permanently run with your server connecting as root, but it doesn't hurt just to test it out. If that does work, then you just need to make a new account in mysql for the eq username.

How do you make an account in Mysql? I am using Navicat to edit my database.

The directions here should work for you to create a new account:
