Cannot continue without a datbase connection

[Valorborn]

I started a new build today and I am experiencing the same issues as OP.

I did not have any luck changing loop back to localhost though. I did the 'mysql -ueq -p' command and resulted in no user being found. I think it actually said that the column was empty. I ran two commands while logged into root on mysql.

CREATE USER 'eq'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'eq';

and

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'eq'@'localhost';

Now when I run mysql -ueq -peq eq I get "ERROR 1049 (42000): Unknown Database 'eq' but if I run mysql -ueq -peq it brings me to a mysql prompt and then if I type in mysql -ueq -peq eq it gives me a -> tabbed over and doesn't allow me to quit, exit, stop, restart, back, or any other vulgarity I type into it so I have to close the window.

I was able to access the database from a new command prompt as -ueq -peq and If I try to manually run world.exe I get:

c:\EQ\EQEmuServer>world.exe
[World Server] Loading server configuration..
[World Server] CURRENT_VERSION: 1.1.3
