Full Zone Spawning

[magnav0x]

Ok I've spent all day reading posts to get my server up and after many hours (mostly mysql password probs :p ) I got the server online and the npcs, items, and all updated via these postings. The only real problems I'm having is manualy zoning which I know I will have to go in and add the coordinates myself so I'm not too worryed about that atm, but what I REALY want to know is if there is a way to make the zone pop all of the mobs that should normaly be there. When I log on the server there are absolutely no mobs, merchants or any other NPC for that matter. I can successfuly use the #spawn command to spawn a creature manualy, but with the spawn info and npc's updated in the db.sql shouldn't they automaticaly spawn there when the world is loaded? I'm not sure if I'm asking the right question but I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about. Thanks in advance for your time.

btw, I do have eqadmin, i downloaded the maps and all and checked them after updating the spawns and I see plenty of red dots on them indicating spawns.
