Well, everything was going fine until I reached the part where I must source in my database, which is the peq database, to MySQL. I run the command prompt from Run on the Start Menu and type in cod\peq_db and the command prompt reads this: The system cannot find the path specified. Though I download both the peq_db and peq_quests files on to my C Drive, th command prompt still does not recognize the path. Any ideas on this one?

Disregard that last post. There is a spelling in the guide, the command should be cd C:\peq_db, not cod.

It appears I have run into another problem. When I click on the start application shortcut on my desktop to start the server, only the Wait for world to finish loading window opens up and when I press enter, it closes. Any ideas?

Read the FAQ in my sig. It explains that problem and gives a solution.

The world.exe app is in my EQemu folder but how do I run it in the command prompt?

Click on Start/Run, enter cmd to open a command prompt, then cd \<directory where your world.exe is> and then type world to execute it.

Hopefully you don't take this as me trying to be rude, but if you do not know how to run a file from a command prompt, running a server probably isn't going to be an easy task for you. It takes some serious time depending on what you are planning to do and even very technical people wind up investing lots of time to resolve certain issues they encounter.

Just trying to let you know ahead of time.
