Did you set the password for the database? If so not sure where to go from here.

[Lokymean]

passwords are fine..able to connect via other means with same password.

Anyone else? anyone offer to copy me their setup files or offer any suggestions?

You need to set the OLD password as described in the server setup wiki. Here is the mysql you need to add and make sure to change the password to whatever you want your password to be:

set password for 'root'@'localhost' = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd');

I used Xampp for my enviroment for eqemu. I set the password the way the wiki says to, with the sql command. I then tried to connect via phpMyAdmin, and was unable to connect. I set the password in phpMyAdmin and could connect through phpMyAdmin, but eqemu quit connecting. I went back and set the password with the sql command, via the wiki and they both work now. I said all that to say that mysql seems to be a little bit picky about the passwords and how they are set. Worth a shot at any rate.

does PEQ_DB need to called exactly that, or can I name it PEQDB?

Does it matter where that folder resides? I have it on my D drive.

Does the name of the Database matter?

CAn someone let me know where all the pertinent file folders should be located please?

[Lokymean]

anyone have an answer to this one? I just want a DETAILED description of where the files/folders need to be.
