hi everyone.

im new to this scene, and im making an attempt to make a public server.

i followed the guide, but this is what happens when i click my "start.bat" file.

it opens 2 command prompt windows (normal so far)

then one says what its suppose to, "wait for world to finish loading... press enter when done"

and the other says this

[debug] starting log: log/eqemu_debug_world_2168.log
[debug] [world__init] loading server configuration..
[debug] [world__init] log setting loaded from log.ini
[debug] [world__init] current_world_version:eqemu 0.7.0
[debug] [world_init] connecting to mysql...

then it randomly closes after 2 seconds of it being open.

any clues on how to fix that? (not sure whats wrong)

Try running world.exe from a command prompt. You should see if there are any errors then - it shouldn't close on you if there are.

how do i do that?

It is probably closing because it is unable to connect to your database. Which means you probably have your config file set incorrectly. Make sure you have the name of your database, your username and your password correct in the config file.

Otherwise, post your config file and make SURE to remove your password from it before posting.

To run your world.exe from the command prompt, just go to the start button and click run. Then type CMD and click ok. Then from the command prompt, you need to go to your eqemu directory. Normally you can do that by typing "cd \eqemu". Then just type world.exe and it will run.
