Database connection issue

Can you post the contents your eqemu_config.xml file here please ?

And what version of mysql are you using ?

This sounds like the same exact problem im having, judging by the description he gave. I didnt know about checking the log file, but here is what mine says:

[10.18. - 16:21:43] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_debug_world_3924.log
[10.18. - 16:21:43] [WORLD__INIT] Loading server configuration..
[10.18. - 16:21:43] [WORLD__INIT_ERR] Loading server configuration failed.

Also, the version of Mysql is 5.0.45

The contents of my eqemu_config.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>Marr</shortname>
<longname>Oasis Revisited</longname>

<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
<address>10.1.1.51</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 configureation, replaces db.ini. -->
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>root</username>
<password>*******</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>
</server>

Thanks in advance

Is your config file in the same directory as world.exe ?

[FlitTastic]

yes, it is.

here is the pic of a screenshot of my eqemulator file:

Ok, I found the problem was that both config files have to have the same information in them, not just the .xml file. Would probably save ALOT of headaches if that was mentioned in the guide, and save literally hours of searching on the forums (I found the answer buried in a post after days of searching, and begging for help). I now have another problem with the zoneserver not working, but ill continue some more days of searching posts until I find the answer there. lol. Thank you to everyone that tried to help, it is, as always, very appreciated.
