World.exe, Boot5Zones.exe and

[\_Herbus_/]

If I go directly into the MySQL bin directory and open mysql.exe, mysql will not permit me to do a damn thing.

I get an 'Access denied' ERROR 1044 message.

If I go to command prompt and into mysql -u root etc...

It will let me! I can create databases, grant privileges and so forth.

However, when I load World.exe or Boot5zones.bat...

I get a spam of things, including this line everyonce in a while:

'Database error: Lost connection, attempting to recover...
DB Query Error 2006: MySQL server has gone away

And at the bottom of both world.exe and boot5zones.bat, is this wonderfulicious message!

Runtime errors:

MySQL Error #1405 or #2001 means your MySQL server rejected the username and password you presented it.

So I'm guessing the problem is: Upfront, MySQL will not accept me. I assume these problems are related and lie within MySQL, any ideas on how to fix? Thanks for your time.

Problem One:

Check your spelling (syntax). It's identified, not indentified.

For Problem Two, it sounds like you're missing zone.exe in your Eqemu folder.

Ok the only problem that remains is the boot5zone file. The supposed zone.exe is nowhere to be found on my hard drive. Any suggestions?

Is it DR3.. or newer?
The Zone.exe normally is held in the server files you would have downloaded?.

Give a few more details. ie. What setup guide did you follow etc.
