Creating Database peq;

[Darkonig]

did you do this?

Code:
SET PASSWORD FOR eq@localhost = OLD_PASSWORD('eq');

That is only needed if you are converting a database from 4.x not for loading up a fresh database in 5.x from a dump. Did not use this command on my install and it works great.

I don't understand what you mean? this has nothing to do with an EqEmu MySql database - this is so MySql 5x will be able to read older MySql 4x client-user method of presenting a password;
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/old-client.html
The client being EqEmu and not a specific databse.

Sorry for the hijack, had not seen that before. Looked at the page you listed and that is for accessing a 5.1 database from a client below 4.1, not for 5.0 which is what I'm using (5.0.27) which is why I didn't need it.

But my reason for why it was needed was incorrect.

What they mean is, EqEmu is what uses the old MySql 4x password method for accessing the MySql 5x DB . this fix is so MySql 5 will accept passwords from EqEmu. Why you didn't need it is, what's surprizing - but as long as it works, who cares? I just suggested that option because it is a common mistake, so he'll know, just incase.
