mysql> SELECT Host,User FROM user;

You mustn't use the root user for security reasons. Instead, create or use another account. Create a new account if necessary. To do this:

If EQEmu will be running on THIS computer:
mysql> insert into user set Host='localhost', User='eqemu', Password=password('eqpassword');
(replace "eqemu" with your desired username and "eqpassword" with the desired password for the account)

If EQEmu will be running on ANOTHER computer:
mysql> insert into user set Host='192.168.0.100', User='eqemu', Password=password('eqpassword');
(replace "192.168.0.100" with the IP address of the EQEmu server, "eqemu" with your desired username, and "eqpassword" with the desired password for the account)


PS: I stole this from the wiki I hope the wiki Guard don't catch me!

a better way to do this is via the "GRANT" command:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/...ing-users.html

something like:


GRANT ALL on eqemu_database_name.* to 'the_user_name_you_want'@'the_host_name' identified by 'this_users_password';

that way you create the privs along with the user in question, and they have access to the tables of your database from the specified host (use localhost if you're running mysql on the same host as your emu server).

hope this helps

ps: dont forget to "flush privileges" afterwards or the new login wont be active yet.

Okay im getting so annoyed lol, i did the grant access thing, flushed it and all that, now I am back to where the sql query browser says"cannot fetch columns" under everything in the peq database as well as the other db's that are there. I even went into the administrator package, shows the user i set up as well as the old root one, and down at the bottom where you can look at the catalog's it also says cannot fetch columns. Any ideas?
