Loading server configuration failed

[Salotory]

Hi guys,
I have been searching the forums for a week and I cannot find anything close to my error. I followed the wiki and the pdf pretty closely.
Which leaves me to believe I left out a step or is using xp for a server part of the problem.

[07.11. - 16:30:00] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_debug_world_0440.log
[07.11. - 16:30:00] [WORLD__INIT] Loading server configuration..
[07.11. - 16:30:00] [WORLD__INIT_ERR] Loading server configuration failed.

in the eqemu folder "Log".
This happens everytime I start the emu.

I am using:
7.0-992 database
MySql 5.0.37
ActivePerl 5.8.7.813
WinCVS2_1_1
under Windows XP Pro.

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
	<world>
		<shortname>Tempest</shortname>
		<longname>Tempest</longname>

	<!-- only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
		<address>192.168.1.113</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>localhost</host>
		<port>3306</port>
		<username>root</username>
		<password></password>
		<db>peq</db>
	</database>
</server>

Thanks,
Sal
