Thanks for the information, I made the changes to the xml file, i'm not sure how to edit the variables table. Could you explain in a bit more detail how to edit the variables table and where its located. Thanks

Loads easier than using the cmd console.

i'm downloading the program, gonna take a while (dialup sucks). While I'm downloading that, a few questions. What should my eqhost.txt look like? Should it just say:

[LoginServer]
Host=localhost:5999

also, now I get a msg from eqlauncher that says error 10061, and its trying to connect to 127.0.0.1:9000, is this because I haven't changed the variables table yet?

Do i need to change anything in db.ini or loginserver.ini?

EQhost.txt:

[LoginServer]
Host=localhost:5999

as far as eqlauncher, it's trying to connect to world.exe (9000)

make sure world.exe is running

world.exe may crash (exit) on startup if it can't conect to MySQL, so make sure that the XML isn't missing any <'s or >'s, and that the username and password match (and DB name)..

also, if you are using newer than MySQL 4.0 (this includes 4.1.x and newer.. try not to use 5.x, stick with 4.1 or 4.0)...

The error is typical since MySQL 4.1 has a newer password format than 4.0 (EMU is based on 4.0's)

-edit: added comment-

Logging off for the night, may not be able to help (post here) for a few nights. good luck with it.

keep in mind, if you're using 0.7.0, that word.exe 8will* crash (close) randomly when zoning in game. Just restart it and wait for EQ to dump you to login.
