Hey there GeorgeS, ty for replying =)

I'm using the current DB I believe, 1751. The connection test fails as well. I get the error on the npc loot editor as well, but it loads up. But, once I try load anything, it gives me the error again and closes.

Am I supposed to be unpacking these in any specific location at all? I know setting the server up, I set the zlib directory just in "My Documents", set the directory in right spot on C++ but it still failed.. had to move it to C:\zlib then worked just fine.

I'm probably making 1 small mistake (I've checked db.ini at least 100 times to make sure everything is 100% correct and it is)


copy/pasted

host=localhost
user=item
password=(password)
database=peq
everquest_folder=c:\Program Files\Sony\Everquest

Have tried using an underscore between program and files too, thinkin it couldn't hurt.. certainly didn't hurt but didn't help either =\

edit: have tried from root user as well (both have full privileges)

Yeah, GeorgeS, they all work remotely just fine. I use them to connect remote on my own LAN, and my other dev connects to them remotely from another location fine as well.

What Operating System are you running, deaddraqear? Maybe that has something to do with it.

I don't have my db.ini available from here, but I think you may need quotes around your EQ folder path like this:

everquest_folder="c:\Program Files\Sony\Everquest"

Any time a space is in the path, quotes are generally required. Though, I don't think that will effect your DB connection attempts, you would get another error most likely.

Also, have you tried setting the actual IP of your PC as the host vs just setting it to localhost? Not sure if that will make a difference, but should be worth a shot. Probably something like 192.168.1.100.

Since the connection checking tool failed, it's not the schema in all likely-hood, but either your connection may be blocked at the firewall, or your user/password is not right.

Have you logged into the database with a database tool like heidisql or something similar?

my login - as it's provided with the tools

host=localhost
user=eq
password=eq
database=peq_1751
everquest_folder=c:\EverQuest_SOD


//everquest_folder this is for SPELL LIST SOURCING FROM SPELLS_US.TXT!! -- NEEDED IF YOU MAKE CUSTOM SPELLS
//for example - everquest_folder=c:\everquest
