Which version of eqemu are you using? The 0.5.3 dr3 does not have a db.sql. You have to search around for an updated database source it in mysql using the command

use (XXX)*
source (YYY).sql

X = the name of your database and Y = the name of your .sql that you are sourcing. I'm sorry i do not know off the top of my head where you can get an updated database.sql.

[Monrezz]

It can be downloaded in the "EQEmu Release" folder in CVS on SourceForge. If you don't have a CVS client, use the CVS Repository and download via that.

sorry, wrong forum~

[samandhi]

or is that an impossibility because running yer own server isn't that simple and you needa know what you're doing to keep one up?

That is fairly close, as it DOES take SOME know-how to set one up and maintain it.

[torormgotjewed]

ok heres a more constructive question,

where do i DL the latest eqemu server binaries?

i'm assuming this is the "db.sql" file talked about later in the tutorial

[samandhi]

Server binaries, and DB files are two different animals. But one needs the other to fully function. You can get the latest binaries from a link on the homepage. http://www.eqemulator.net . It is 0.5.3, but it is a patch or two behind EQLive, so unless your client (read the game) is patched to before the patch on 2-10-04, then you wont be able to play on that version of the server... There is a newer server listed as 0.5.5 DR1, however, they are in source (no binaries) because it is NOT a release, and there is NO support for them whatsoever. So unless you know how to compile them, and can set it up by yourself, I would not recommend attempting the 0.5.5 DR1's for now..... Otherwise you will have to stick to playing on someone else's server till they are released....

[Tulladar]

Quick question..I got my server up and all that good stuff...but it's locked..If this was covered in another post plz let me know been trying to find something of that sort for about an hour now with no luck =/

btw...this is what I get: [Status] CURRENT_WORLD_VERSION:EQEMu 0.5.3-DR3

Your database is NOT compatible for the version of EQEMu you are trying to run.. Look in the world building forum for links to the newest databases...

did as you said typed that but said error 1045: access denied to (my user name)@localhost identified by '(my password)' with grant option:
of coarse i didnt put parenthesis so what you think is wrong i did create my name and pass in that one program you said to run
