Error 1044 and 1045
 

This is for after you unzip EQEmu, Install MySQL, copy db.sql, setup username and password using winmysqladmin.exe, run mysql and enter "create database eq;" "use eq" "source db.sql", and setup the .ini files in EQEmu directory. (Steps in http://www.eqemu.net/documents/readme.html (Part 2 - Hosting your own server on EQEmu) all the way to text with green highlight)

If you getting ERROR 1044 and ERROR 1045: Access denied to user@host blah blah blah, and you HAVE already done all the steps named above, THIS is the CORRECT syntax to use when changing privileges on accounts:

C:\MYSQL\BIN> mysql -u root mysql
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON eq.* TO <user>@localhost
-> IDENTIFIED BY '&lt;pass>' WITH GRANT OPTION;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON eq.* TO <user>@"%"
-> IDENTIFIED BY '&lt;pass>' WITH GRANT OPTION;

Basicly go to your mysql\bin directory in dos and run "mysql -u root mysql". Type it in like that EXACTLY without quotation marks. Then type "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON eq.* TO <user>@localhost" (fill in user with the username you setup using winmysqladmin.exe) and hit enter. Then press space five times and type "IDENTIFIED BY '&lt;pass>' WITH GRANT OPTION;" (fill in pass with the password you setup using winmysqladmin.exe) and hit enter.

Then type "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON eq.* TO <user>@"%"" (fill in user with the username you setup using winmysqladmin.exe) (keep the double qoutes (" ") around % ("%"))and hit enter. Then press space five times and type "IDENTIFIED BY '&lt;pass>' WITH GRANT OPTION;" (fill in pass with the password you setup using winmysqladmin.exe) and hit enter.

So if Bob Hill made the username "gdogg" and the password "zonk", his screen would look like this afterwards:

C:\MYSQL\BIN> mysql -u root mysql
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON eq.* TO gdogg@localhost
-> IDENTIFIED BY 'zonk' WITH GRANT OPTION;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON eq.* TO gdogg@"%"
-> IDENTIFIED BY 'zonk' WITH GRANT OPTION;

did what you said.. error came up..

'GRANT" is not reconized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

not sure what the deal is.. gonna look for another fix for this error

Satransisu, that type of error is a windows/DOS command line error, it basically indicates that you don't have mysql.exe running when you type the GRANT command.

Maranwe

Yes. He apparently isnt following directions..

a mysql error would have said ERROR: &amp;*(&amp;

error 1044 for me.

LOl
 

YOu guys are not making any sense.. sound like a bunch of computer nerds! lol

Dev
 

use Dev's step-by-step above
helped me fix my access denied prob

Error
 

Tried it.. didnt work.. here is what i did





Thats how it happened for me.

run
 

did you open mysql.exe through "run" in your start menu?

Hi I had the same problem

mysql -u root mysql
I followed the directions but it still isnt working.

Veragoan: the "mysql -u root mysql" is supposed to be done on the command line "c:\mysql\bin>". You want to skip that part if you are already in mysql. If you are at the mysql prompt "mysql>" they just try the grant lines.

Tolarn: This is probably your problem also.

Re: Error
 

I got absolutely the same error
I'm using EQEmu v4.4
was anyone able tomake it work correctly?

.
 

try to play around with the command. like replace localhost with 127.0.0.1. look at some other posts on the subject. theres like 50 other ways to type this command

Mine said that it works but I'm still gettting denied.

&lt;0 ROWS EFFFECTED, 0 SECS> or something similar meaning that it did work but nothing happened.

Could anyone PLEASE tell me EXACTLY what you are supposed to type at the dos program? I typed C:\mysql\bin>mysql -u root mysql but it said that C:\mysql\bin wasnt recognized as an internal or external command. HELP ME!!

1044
 

I am getting the 1044 error as soon as I enter "create database eq;" "use eq" "source db.sql", what am I doing wrong? I have tried a variety of things added on to the end of the command prompt, shut down, re-booted, rearched the forums for similar problems, and this is close but the 1044 error at a different part in creating the db

For all you error needs &lt;---- kinda corny

• 1.

Start - Run - CMD

• 2.

CD c:\mysql\bin

• 3.

mysql -u root

• 4. GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON eq.* TO mysqlname@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'mysqlpassword' WITH GRANT OPTION;

• 5.

Edit:

Restart makes everything work ;)

Also, technically WITH GRANT OPTION is not necessary. In fact it's a bit of a vulnerability to have your eq ID set up with GRANT privileges. Not that we're running any production databases here, but you never know what people are willing to do on work computers... :shock:

worked for me.
not sure if you're doing it wrong. What i did was ran the mysql -u root mysql from the command prompt, not the mysql prompt. (Linux, not windows but should be the same?)

I must have done something right, it fixed my problem! :D
