trying to install a eqemu server but failing

[Stormheart]

I have been trying to set up a eqemu server but I keep failing. I have followed the somewhat outdated guides.


I have installed

activeperl 5.10.0
MySql 5.051a

I went to sourceforge.net dowloaded the peq_db files

1.)I installed to my c: drive a folder called "emequ"
2.)Inside that folder I placed spells_us.txt and spells_en.txt
3.)I have Titanium installed on this same machine so I don't expect any dll errors.
4.) On my active perl installation I was able to install the
a.) DBI
b.) DBD-Mysql
c.) IO-Stringy

5.) I downloaded and placed the files from eqemu version 7.0.1100
6.) I downloaded and installed the 300+ mb map pack and the 67 + mb new map pack into the maps folder of my eqemu. I made sure the maps are not in another sub folder called maps as well.
7.) Here is my eqemu xml config
<?xml version="1.0">
<server>

<world>
<shortname>Echoes</shortname>
<longname>Echoes of Eternity</longname>





<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
<address>192.168.1.103</address>
<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>




<!-- Loginserver information. -->
<loginserver>
<host>eqemulator.net</host>
<port>5998</port> <account>
</account> <password></password>
</loginserver>



<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
<key>some long random string</key>


<!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service. -->
<http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />


</world>




<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. -->
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>root</username>
<password>Scitex</password>
<db>peq</db>

</database>


</server>

I matched my server password to my sql password for my rpoot and peq db

Ok all that info for what is a really really minute payoff

When I run my start.bat which has a dos bat icon I get a extremely fast flash of a dos box in fact so fast I can only dectect it showing up on my screen about one out of 3 attemps. I have no chance to see any error information even if there is any on it!

My computer is an AMD core 2 4600 EE with the extra pin I have installed the Windows XP patch and the AMDcpu patch for dual core processors.

Any ideas ? Need more info?

Thanks for any suggestions
