If anyone can help i would be very thankful

Try this...
 

I had similar problems... I discovered that you have to have the MySQL database running before you start the World.exe or Boot5Zones.bat progs...

Go to your MySQL folder and start MySQL.exe or MySQLAdmin.exe and leave it running... This should solve your problem... if not *shrugs* I don't know what to tell you.

The readme file needs to be updated to reflect this issue as well, instead of saying to close MySQL, it needs to say to leave it running.

Hope this helps,

If your getting database has gone away, your problem is:
a) mysql isn't running
b) wrong username/pass in db.ini
c) wrong DB in db.ini
d) no DB in mysql
e) wrong IP in db.ini...

Just looked at your post again and you didn't edit your db.ini Otherwise it wouldn't say Unknown MySQL Server Host '192.168.0.x'

The readme states to close mysqladminAdmin which leaves the mysql server running in the background. This is not a misprint in the readme, it is correct.

One more thing...
 

Also, verify that your LoginServer.ini file has the correct information...

If you are trying to connect to public servers on teh eqemu.org server system, then your LoginServer.ini file needs to say the following:

### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.
### --- do not add an account and password unless a EQEmu Dev member has created an account for you.
### --- adding an account and password only grants the server a green name and is not needed.

# READ README.TXT

[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin.eqemu.org
worldname=<your server name here>
locked=false
account=
password=
worldaddress=<your IP address here>
loginport=5999

It also needs to have your account username and password in the appropriate fields according to what you set up at http://www.eqemu.org/login

If you are trying to connect via Minilogin.exe so you can play without being on the internet then it needs to say the following:

### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.
### --- do not add an account and password unless a EQEmu Dev member has created an account for you.
### --- adding an account and password only grants the server a green name and is not needed.

# READ README.TXT

[LoginServer]
loginserver=localhost
worldname=<your server name here>
locked=false
account=
password=
worldaddress=localhost
loginport=5999

I haven't been able to get minilogin.exe to work properly, but that doesn't mean you wont be able to if you want to try.

The reason I'm mentioning all of this is because of the message at the beginning of the information you provided...

"LoginServer.ini read.
Failed to connect to database: Error: Unknown MySQL Server Host '192.168.0.x' (11001)"

Hope this helps as well,
Kyouchou

Lurker is right...
 

Lurker is right, you need to check your db.ini file too...

the "host" value should be "localhost"

Kyouchou

Well my Loginserver.ini reads this

[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin.eqemu.net
worldname=Xalivor's World
locked=false
account=my minilogin username
password=my minilogin password
worldaddress=my IP
loginport=5999

My Db.ini file reads

[Database]
host=localhost
user=my minilogin username
password=my minilogin password
database=eq

hope that helps...i changed a couple things in them before i posted im gunna test it now

i go into mysql dos window and type use eq it says DB changed, i then type source db.sql and it tells me error blah blah duplicate item blah blah key 1 stuff.....I tested it after i changed some things in login server and stuff and i still got the same errors

nonononono


leave account and password BLANK. the the comments in the file and you will see why.

This also means your db.ini had host=192.168.0.x or your trying to use a network.

Only use localhost

Ok after reading this i changed my loginserver.ini thats all i understood to do. So now my Boot5zones reads this

I think they have some what changed.

Open the mysql server. It appears that you are trying to run without a database.

how ccan i be running it without a DB? I went to the MS Dos window of mysql and typed use eq which is the name of DB and and typed source db.sql but i kept getting 2006 errors about duplicate items. And if i am runing it without a DB how can i fix it

well if this is what you mean by not having a DB please tell me how to fix it.

RE: readme info...
 

The readme file states the following (cut/pasted directly from readme.txt):

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"Part 3: Setting up mySQL Database.


1) Download and install mySQL from http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-3.23.html

2) Copy db.sql from your EQEmu folder to the mySQL bin directory (default is C:\mysql\bin).

3) In your mySQL bin directory, run Winmysqladmin.exe. It should ask you to enter a username and password. Choose a username and password that you can remember because you will need it in Part 4. Do not give the password out to anyone for any reason because with this, anyone can log into your mySQL database and change your data.

**NOTE: If it doesnt not ask you to enter a username/password or you wish to change it, delete the file c:\windows\my.ini and re-run Winmysqladmin.exe.


4) After you have chosen a username and password go to the Database tab in WinmySQLAdmin and right click the area for Databases and click Create Database.

5) Type in "eq" as the database name (without the quotes) and click Create database.

6) Close winmysqladmin.

7) Run mysql.exe in your mySQL/bin directory.

8) Type "use eq" without the quotes and hit enter. It should say Database changed.

9) Type "source db.sql" without the quotes and hit enter. A bunch of lines should pass by (that is normal). If you get an error at this point then you didn
