Is it in the right directory? Is it spelled correctly (no extra spaces, etc in the wrong place?) Might as well get the easy ones out of the way first.

yes and yes. I think i maybe resolved it by replacing the default eq/eq/eq user/pass with root/my pass, i didnt read to change those in the settings so i left it default.

im trying to log in to test it all out now and make myself gm.
