Can not connect to the EQ server help me!!!!

[Fargonstuff]

OK, I just made a world... It worked perfectly for about 5 days. Then one day i turnned on my comp and opened world.exe and boot5zones.bat to put up my server for peeps to play on it. Then when i open boot5zones.bat an error at the bottom of the dos prompt says, [Error] Worldserver.connect <> FAILED... and it says stuff like [Status] entering sleep mode, and above all that is says Worldserver connect: Connecting to the server failed: TCPconnection : :Connect<>:connect<> failed. Error: 10061. Does anyone know what is wrong? My friend had the same problem and he checked his IP and his IP changed so he changed it in his database and his world worked agane.... I tried looking to see if my IP changed so i could change it into the database if it WAS changed but it wasn't. I thaught for sure that was the problem.... Anyone got any ideas? :cry:

Did you make sure your mysql was running?

It sounds like mysql is pooched. You might try backing up your DB,
dump it and re-up with a fresh DB.
cd C:\Mysql\bin
mysqldump eq > OldDatabaseBackup.sql
(or substitute whatever you called your db)
Copy "yourdb.sql" to your C:\Mysql\bin directory.

Go to C:\Mysql\bin and open mysql.exe. Type:

drop database eq;
create database eq;
use eq;
source yourdb.sql

I should say somthing symbolic...
Run silent, run deep!!!
