world and zone both cant load server config please help windows pro 64bit

[12.24. - 14:32:08] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_debug_world_2316.log
[12.24. - 14:32:08] [WORLD__INIT] Loading server configuration..
[12.24. - 14:32:08] [WORLD__INIT_ERR] Loading server configuration failed.

The most likely problem is that you don't have your config file, eqemu_config.xml in the same directory as world.exe, zone.exe etc.

Make sure it isn't called eqemu_config.xml.txt or something like that.

Enable the display of file extensions in Windows Explorer (it's under the Organise/Folder and Search Options/View in Vista ... I don't remember off hand how to get to it in XP), or alternatively, launch a command prompt, CD to wherever your world.exe/zone.exe are and do:

Code:

C:\eqemu>dir eqemu_config*

 Volume in drive C has no label.

 Volume Serial Number is DA34-F279



 Directory of C:\eqemu



06/06/2009  14:25               901 eqemu_config.xml

If your eqemu_config.xml is named correctly, and is located in the same directory as your world and zone executables, then post your eqemu_config.xml, as there may be a problem with it's contents.

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>oick</shortname>
<longname>oicks eq beta</longname>






<loginserver>
<host>eqemulator.net</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>


<key>some long random string</key>


<http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
</world>


<database>
<host>192.168.2.3</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>root</username>
<password>***</password>
<db>peq/db>
</database>
</server>

theres also a file called EQEMU_CONFIG.xml.full idk if thats causing the problem either
again ty for ur help hope we can get it up and running

You are missing a < symbol where i have indicated in red below:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0">

<server>

        <world>

                <shortname>oick</shortname>

                <longname>oicks eq beta</longname>



                <!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->

                <!--<address>192.168.2.3</address>-->

                <!--<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>-->



                <!-- Loginserver information. -->

                <loginserver>

                        <host>eqemulator.net</host>

                        <port>5998</port>

                        <account></account>

                        <password></password>

                </loginserver>



                <!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->

                <key>some long random string</key>



                <!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service. -->

                <http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />

        </world>



        <!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. -->

        <database>

                <host>192.168.2.3</host>

                <port>3306</port>

                <username>root</username>

                <password>***</password>

                <db>peq</db>

        </database>

</server>

PS: Your password has been replaced with asterisks in my revised version. You will need to re-add it between <password>***</password> in the <database> section, in place of the asterisks.

thank you so so much it works now
