There is no zoneNT.exe anymore. if you started over with 0.3.6 (meaning not used ANY old files), then you wouldn't have a problem because boot5zone.bat looks for zone.exe now..

[Poink]

Aye, I do have the latest version of emu, so i have not a clue in the world what i did wrong tryied it the second time as well but nothing happened same probelm, think i might have to reinstall? I'm all out of ideas never did find the ZoneNt files =/
Forgot to mention that i just started trying emu 2 days ago so i don't think ihave the wrong version, the reason i reinstalled was because i diddn't have a slightest clue what i was doing and messed up every now and then. Tell me if ya have anymore ideas.

[Poink]

Ok, well i got through the ZoneNT problem now i'm having a different one, ive been through most of the readmes but they diddn't help. Now i recive the error after typing world.exe flag eqemu 200, im getting error: Access denied for user: blahblah@localhost' <using password: YES>.

Sorry for all these posts just nothing else ive read in readmes have helped..:(

check that you propperly set username, password, and DB in your db.ini file.


Then read http://forums.eqemu.net/showthread.p...;threadid=1169 if it still won't work.

[bandog423]

Also, check the case of the username and password. Make sure it is the same case as what you entered as username and password for MySQL...

[undertaker123]

Hmm, I've followed these instructions closely, but I just can't seem to get the minilogin to read the loginserver.ini :(

Make a new post with your problem and a copy of your ini files.. (read the two posts in my sig to see what you should post).

[OverlordvI]

1) Go to the command prompt (Start -> Run -> CMD in 2K, or go to Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt).

2) Go to your EqEmu directory (mine is on c:\EQEmu)

3) Type this exactly:

world adduser eqemu eqemu 200

[Soupism]

Hmm, couldn't find a db.sql =\.

[Zace]

Yay it all trys to start up

but for each of the 5 zone's I am running I am getting an error, or rather LOTS of errors.

I t is failing to connect to the database with my user ie Zace@localserver with the password I have chosen.


-----------------

NOTE - it is case sensitive -lol

[Zace]

i am getting an error message

Failed to connect to database: Error: Access denied for user Zace@localhost (using password : YES)

Anyone any ideas?
yes the admin user is zace and I am trying to run it on my local machine.

[Lurker_005]

You have a problem with connecting to mysql. Do a search for "Failed connect database Error Access denied" or some thing similar.

[Zace]

Well I got that working.
Reinstalled it all.

However now all i can get is 1017
I am running on a standalone PC. No firewall etc...

Login is fine

Select the server then up pops the message.

I had previoduly patched EQ to the latest version - dunno if that affects it.

Please help.

thanks
