That has to be it. So far I have been running Xampp > MySQL > start.bat > then the EQ client. I just tried running loginserver.exe. It pops up for half a second and then disappears.



That's the best screenshot I can get. It closes very quickly. It says:

Logging System Init.
Config System Init.
Database Initialization Failure.
Config System Shutdown.
Log System Shutdown.

My start.bat

@echo off
shared_memory.exe
start loginserver.exe
start world.exe
echo Waiting for the world to finish loading before starting zones...
ping -n 10 127.0.0.1 > nul
start queryserv.exe
start ucs.exe
start eqlaunch.exe zone
exit

It is supposed to be starting the loginserver.exe. Apparently, the database initialization failure is stopping it..

Edit: I forgot to mention I tried port 5998 in the host.txt. No change.

That's what you have in your host file? If you're using the public loginserver and trying to connect using that, it won't work.

Try this:

[LoginServer]
Host=login.eqemulator.net:5999

Also, when the "0: sleeping" changes it means it's looking at a zone like this 7004: tutorial, 1 clients". It is not an issue for this to not be sleeping (unless no one is actually online).

Also, may I see your eqemu_config.xml, with the username and password to your database removed?

I am currently trying to log into my own personal server. I can log onto the public servers no problem with my original host.txt.

Here's my EqEmuConfig.xml:
