Make sure you can log into your mysql database with the command from a dos prompt:

Code:

mysql -u eq -p

After you hit enter it will ask for a password. If this works make sure your eqemu_config.xml file has the same user 'eq' and password you used here. Also make sure your database name is set correctly.

Your eqemu_config.xml file should look like this, with the appropriate changes of course.

Code:

                <database>
                    <host>localhost</host>
                    <port>3306</port>
                    <username>eq</username>
                    <password>newpwd</password>
                    <db>peq</db>
                </database>

pfyon is correct your credentials are messed up.
