I think eq is the default username in the config file. You either have to make sure you setup a mysql account for the user named "eq" or you have to use one that you do have setup. You can always try your root login to make sure it is working. Here is the section you need to look at in your config file in the eqemu directory. Make sure you are not editing the file that ends with xml.fulll the file that the program is using has to end with just .xml and no .full on the end.
Make sure you setup this section of the config file:
Code:
<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. -->
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>root</username>
<password>rootpassword</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>
You only have to set the 3 parts in
red there. Make sure to replace the database name with whatever database you are using. If you are using PEQ, then it will need to be set to "peq", and if you are using the AX database, you need to set it to "ax" there. The wiki setup guide explains that perfectly.
Make sure you are using this guide when trying to get this setup. If you follow it exactly, you can't fail!
