http://wiki.eqemulator.org/p?Complet...Guide&frm=Main , also the database im currently useing is from PEQ the daily releases he puts up on his forums , i installed all the needed software to compile the build and i have all of the quests and maps i even put the plugins where there supposed to go so im completely confused as to why world.exe wont connect to mysql when on the same pc i have the full version of navicat and it has no issues connecting to the db with the same info i put in my eqemu_config file any help concerning this issue will be greatly appreciated this is my Eqemu config - the personal info
