Issues starting server

[sirgoladith]

Ok, I got it worked down to, the fact that world for some reason cannot access my sql db. But I think I have it set up correctly. Here is my eqmu_config.xml

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>DRKLND</shortname>
<longname>Goladith's House of Darkland</longname>

You need to have your MySQL password in there so the launcher can access your database.
