Unable to load 'eqemu_config.xml'

[Timp]

I tried to start my server but my logs show that it was unable to load the file eqemu_config.xml. For example:
logs/chatserver

eqemu_config.xml is in the server folder where my start script is. Everyone has read permissions for it. Why can't it open it?

It may well be able to open it, but you may have a syntax error or something in the file (e.g. mismatched <foo> </foo> or something like that).

If you want to post your eqemu_config.xml, with any passwords removed, I will take a look at it.

Here this the file.

<?xml version="1.0">

                <key>some long random string</key>

You are missing a '>' sign after <database , i.e, highlighted in red below:

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
        <world>
                <shortname>setme</shortname>
                <longname>I Forgot To Edit My Config</longname>
                <key>some long random string</key>

                <loginserver>
                       <host>eqemulator.net</host>
                       <port>5998</port>
                       <account>TestServerAccount</account>
                       <password></password>
                </loginserver>
        </world>
        <database>
