having trouble starting a server

If you are still having issues, you would need to post more information and your configurations.

My apologies. I used the guide mentioned by the OP and have the same setup (XP, No MiniLogin). The only difference is that I am trying to use the old Zebuxoruk db which I received no errors on while sourcing.

When launching my start.bat, I get hung before and this last line never appears (Connected to Loginserver: MYIP). My server shows up in the server list as Locked and I can get to the char screen but just get 'zone unavailable' if trying to go into game. This makes sense since I can't get the zones to start.

Let me know what else I need to provide. I am VERY new to this.

Well I tried following the instructions with the peq db and it worked so the problem must be in using the zebdb. Once I am set up with peq, how can I switch to a different db? Can I just source the new sql in?

try changing in your start.bat file "start eqlaunch.exe zones" to start "eqlaunch.exe zone"
