ok I got it to login, turns out I just had my password capitalized in one instance and not capitalized in the other, and also I wasn't referencing the correct database because I'm using perl, and I was referencing AX Classic.
However, now my world debug reads:
Code:
---------------------------------------------
[01.23. - 11:29:19] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_debug_world_0360.log
[01.23. - 11:29:19] [WORLD__INIT] Loading server configuration..

any thoughts?
