struggling with 0.6.1

[steffijade]

Hello there folks,
I`m new to EQEMU but have been trawling the boards for a few days trying to set up a server using minilogin. I used eqvercheck in my everquest directory and it reccomended using 0.6.1 so I found a tutorial specifying 0.6.1 and gave it a try. I have followed iwantavr4`s tutorial on how to do this but have run into a seemingly common problem. By using localhost as the ip address i have been able to access the server list and see the server I set up but get an error 1017.

The thing is, the server identifies itself as 0.6.0 server and I was wondering if this is the reason I am unable to connect to it?

I have tried changing a few files in the database, following suggestions I have found in iwantavr4`s tutorial thread and from other threads on the forums and have ended up dropping the database a few times to start over. I suspect that I may have left some files in either mysql or perl that are affecting the database setup.

Would it do any good to try unistalling mysql and perl and starting from scratch again?

Sorry if this seems a little vague but I`m definitely no expert in programming. Any suggestions would be warmly welcomed,
thanks, steff.
