7.0 world.exe load warning..

[Cirillian]

Hello, everyone. First I would like to say that I AM new at this stuff, and I am aware that this may be a stupid question or an easy fix.

However, I am having a problem when I try to run my own eqemu server. I've tried with 6.6 and 7.0, and I get the same problem. I load of World.exe and Zone.exe and then the Startup files. They all load okay, and everything's fine. Then, I launch eq. I get to the server select screen, and I see various servers, including mine. However, when I try to select mine and enter it, my World.exe crashes on me. I have searched all over these forums trying to find an answer, and it looks like other people have had the same problems, but I haven't been able to clearly see the solution. Is it my eqemu_config file? Here are the contents of the XML file (eqemu_config):

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>DSP</shortname>
<longname>Disciples</longname>

<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
<key>some long random string</key>

<!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service. -->
<http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
</world>

<zones>
<defaultstatus>20</defaultstatus>

<!-- Sets port range for world to use to auto configure zones -->
<ports low="7000" high="7100"/>
</zones>

<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. -->
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>eq</username>
<password>eq</password>
<db>eq</db>
</database>

<launcher>
<!-- <logprefix>logs/zone-</logprefix> -->
<!-- <logsuffix>.log</logsuffix> -->
<!-- <exe>zone.exe> -->
<!-- <timers restart="10000" reterminate="10000" initial="20000" interval="2000"> -->
</launcher>

<!-- File locations. Defaults shown -->
<files>
<!-- <spells>spells_us.txt</spells> -->
<!-- <opcodes>opcodes.conf</opcodes> -->
<!-- <logsettings>log.ini</logsettings> -->
<!-- <eqtime>eqtime.cfg</eqtime> -->
</files>
<!-- Directory locations. Defaults shown -->
<directories>
<!-- <maps>Maps</maps> -->
<!-- <quests>quests</quests> -->
<!-- <plugins>plugins</plugins> -->
</directories>
</server>

Again, I really do apologize if this has been answered before...I'm just really at a loss here.

Thanks!
