Im not sure why it cannot connect
Also, I do not have mysql_nt running in the background, that just gives me another error and I took the advice from another topic not to have that open. Is there something im doing wrong in MySql, should I be running a server in mysql?

you didnt grant yourself permition to use it

do a search for granting permition or the error #, there is many many ways to fix this error but some work for some people and others for other people. Just keep trying all you see till you find the one that works for you.

[wize_one]

would use zone.exe not the debug version..also check your grant statement so the emu can connect to your DB

[Mrfolx]

Alright, dumb mistake but what do I put in between the * *?

grant all privileges on *.* to yourmysqlusernamehere@localhost identified by 'yourmysqlpasswordhere' with grant option;

the topic did'nt say

[wize_one]

from dos
change dir to your mysql dir

then

mysql -u root mysql
grant all privileges on *.* to username@localhost identified by 'password' with grant option;

change the username to the name you have for mysql and password to the password...leave the ticks in

[Mrfolx]

I dont use my login to eqemu, correct? I use the one I signed in for
WinMySQLadmin correct? sorry to say again but what do I put in between the *.* in

grant all privileges on *.* to yourmysqlusernamehere@localhost identified by 'yourmysqlpasswordhere' with grant option;

Do I use Localhost?

let it like it is.

[Mrfolx]

Ok, it said..

Query OK, 0 rows affected <0.03 sec>

What do I do next?

see if it fixxed it =)

[Mrfolx]

ok, I closed mysql and im still getting #2003

[wize_one]

useing zone.exe now or still the zonedebug.exe read b4 someone had probs with the debug version

[Mrfolx]

I have the zone.exe file... read what?

start ZoneDebug.exe freportw. 24.162.26.61 7995 127.0.0.1
start ZoneDebug.exe arena. 24.162.26.61 7996 127.0.0.1
start ZoneDebug.exe nexus. 24.162.26.61 7997 127.0.0.1
start ZoneDebug.exe bazaar. 24.162.26.61 7998 127.0.0.1
start ZoneDebug.exe freportn. 24.162.26.61 7999 127.0.0.1

you are using a ZONEDEBUG version of the zones file, Also there is newer binaries so you may want to take this time to get the new binaries that dont use that debug.

[wize_one]

change your boot5zones.bat from

start ZoneDebug.exe freportw. 24.162.26.61 7995 127.0.0.1
start ZoneDebug.exe arena. 24.162.26.61 7996 127.0.0.1
start ZoneDebug.exe nexus. 24.162.26.61 7997 127.0.0.1
start ZoneDebug.exe bazaar. 24.162.26.61 7998 127.0.0.1
start ZoneDebug.exe freportn. 24.162.26.61 7999 127.0.0.1

to

start Zone.exe freportw. 24.162.26.61 7995 127.0.0.1
start Zone.exe arena. 24.162.26.61 7996 127.0.0.1
start Zone.exe nexus. 24.162.26.61 7997 127.0.0.1
start Zone.exe bazaar. 24.162.26.61 7998 127.0.0.1
start Zone.exe freportn. 24.162.26.61 7999 127.0.0.1

see if that works..if not just move up to the new dr3 and start from scratch

[Mrfolx]

Aye I did that, I changed the zone thing, still got the connection problem, if I had it zonedebug still it wouldnt have even let me boot up and would have closed the windows real fast.. hmm move to dr3.. could you point to me where to get that? sorry, im lousy
