Tried everything. Mysql is working with Login / pass, and of course i typed the same login / pass un the db.ini
Granted all privileges ... nada
Username is my firstname, no number in it. I tried to change pass / login many times... nothing.

Quiet lost ... Someone can help ? :)

try taking the username and password out if the loginserver.ini


here is what mine says:


[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin.eqemu.org
worldname=Marvin's Brave New World
locked=false
account=
password=
worldaddress=192.168.0.5
loginport=5999


Then the db.ini

[Database]
host=localhost
user=eveniamnotthatdaft
password=eveniamnotthatdaft
database=eq

Then the zone start batch file

start zone9x . 192.168.0.5 7995 192.168.0.5
start zone9x . 192.168.0.5 7996 192.168.0.5
start zone9x . 192.168.0.5 7997 192.168.0.5
start zone9x . 192.168.0.5 7998 192.168.0.5
start zone9x . 192.168.0.5 7999 192.168.0.5

And lastly the eqhostsfile in the REAL everquest dir

[Registration Servers]
{
"eqlogin.eqemu.org:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"eqlogin.eqemu.org:5999"
}


There u go ... that works for me ... all u should need to do is change the ipaddresses to match your network ... and presto



U did drop the DB and make a new one didnt you using the db.sql from the distribution :)
