No World Created

After it retried did you get anything? I get this fairly commonly but on retry it usually connects. Did you fix your client shortcut and your eqhosts.txt file?

[kryones]

It never did anything as far as a retry. The program just continued to sit there with that debug text on it.

All the code I have listed above is up-to-date with what I have.

I did update the target of the shortcut to my EQ.exe file with the "patchme" at the end of it or w/e as was directed in one of those guides I listed.

I'm unsure what to put in the EQhost file. Currently it has:

[LoginServer]
Host=localhost:5999

I wasn't really sure what to put here as I've been just listing the IP address as host otherwise. Should I change "localhost" to 192.168.1.2 also?

Are you looking in the logs or just the console? Can you look in eqemu_debug_world.log and see what it says? I don't think that the localhost/192.168.1.2 will make any difference but you might try it as something to rule out.

there are a LOT of EQEMU error logs, and everyone that I've opened says:

---------------------------------------------
[01.23. - 01:39:04] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_error_world_2624.log
[01.23. - 01:39:04] Failed to connect to database: Error: #1045: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

does that help?

[Andrew80k]

Definitely. You have the wrong username/password set up in your config for the database part. You either need to change the password on the root account for the database, or you need to change the access credentials in the config. I use a different user for my database than root. I have an eq user that has specific permissions on only the eq database, but you are welcome to set it up however it's easier for you to manage as it really doesn't matter in the larger scheme of things if your server isn't exposed to the internet anyway.

I'd set localhost back to 127.0.0.1 as how it is could easily muck up other programs.

I agree. I meant to post that earlier, but forgot. This for your hosts file in the in the WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc directory. Shouldn't muck with that unless you really know what's listening on that interface.

[kryones]

ok so I reset the local host file.

As far as assigning a new password/username to the database config, is that just editing a config file somewhere or do I have to command it in mySQL?

In other words, I'm unsure about how to go about correcting the error.

[kryones]

ok I got it to login, turns out I just had my password capitalized in one instance and not capitalized in the other, and also I wasn't referencing the correct database because I'm using perl, and I was referencing AX Classic.

However, now my world debug reads:

---------------------------------------------
[01.23. - 11:29:19] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_debug_world_0360.log

any thoughts?
