The final entry is the database name (you didn't specify, but I assume peq)

So your final login (if the database name is peq) is mysql -ueq -peq peq

Right! When I run mysql -ueq -peq peq it brings me to the mysql prompt but when I try to run world.exe I still get the database connection issue.

This is my current eqemu_config.xml file config (I changed 127.0.0.1 to localhost like suggested before and I tried changing it back to 127.0.0.1 before submitting this reply to make sure. I also tried changing the eq user/pass to root/pass but It was the same).

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

<qsdatabase>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>eq</username>
<password>eq</password>
<db>eq</db>
</qsdatabase>

If you followed http://wiki.eqemulator.org/p?Complet...Guide&frm=Main correctly then you named your database "peq". The fact that "mysql -ueq -peq peq" works verifies that you have.

If that is the case, you must point your config file to use the database called peq, as it is currently looking for a database called "eq":-

Change

<db>eq</db>

to

<db>peq</db>

I can see why the config file wouldn't work with that (I looked at the <db>eq</db> line several times yesterday and didn't make the connection) but how would the config file affect me opening a command prompt and trying to manually start world.exe?

Thank you
