Newbie question for you pros

[Tharkun]

actually there are 2 applications that you need running.

The one your getting the error from is EQLAUNCH.EXE, your getting that error because it cant find WORD.EXE in memory.

World.exe is the window that is closing it self.

Check your log folder to see if there are any world logs too see what the log says. World is crashing for some reason.

[09.29. - 21:31:20] Failed to connect to database: Error: #1045: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

thats what is in the log, thats the last one i can see.

world.exe cant open your database.

check your eqemu_config.xml to make sure the correct login/pw are specified here

<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. Defaults shown -->
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>MySQL Account</username>
<password>MySQL Password</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>

then you should be good

<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. Defaults shown -->
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>root</username>
<password>******</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>

is what I have atm ( the * are letters but not giving that out =p )

do i do anything with the <host> ?

[Tharkun]

as long as the DBserver and World are on the same computer localhost is fine.

bear in mind the <pw> is case sensitive, so how ever you created the login for MYSQL is how that needs to be also.

just for giggles, bring up a command prompt and run

mysql -u root -p

then enter the same p/w you have in the config to see if you can login
