Where do I find the log, I see several logs but they all just say

---------------------------------------------
[12.28. - 15:40:19] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_error_world_4044.log
[12.28. - 15:40:19] Failed to connect to database: Error: #1045: Access denied for user 'eq'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

But it says that as soon as I run it and then it goes through as soon as there is a connection available

Your server will never work until you get this problem resolved. It should be killing the world.exe when this error occurs. You need to make sure you have your database login info setup properly. Have you created an account for "eq", which is the username you are trying to use in the config? If not, you need to create one with the appropriate rights to connect to your database.

You can test the connection pretty easily by trying to connect to MySQL with that login information. At your command prompt, just type:

mysql -u eq -p

Then hit enter and put in your password when prompted. If you can't log in that way, then your server isn't going to be able to log in with that same info. You can also test by putting your mysql root login info into your config and see if that helps. It is not recommended to permanently run with your server connecting as root, but it doesn't hurt just to test it out. If that does work, then you just need to make a new account in mysql for the eq username.

How do you make an account in Mysql? I am using Navicat to edit my database.
