If your DB is incomplete, corrupt or incompatible I believe zone will crash upon loading.

What DB release are you running?

Ok - that could cause a problem - you are running a different version of zone compared to world, and zone is most likely not even compatible with your DB if it's the newest release.

If you want 5.6 WIN32 executables, and you know your EQ client is compatible with them, you can get them here:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/e...2.zip?download

That is old code though.

K, here is my db.ini file:
Code:
# READ README.TXT!

[Database]
host=localhost
user=Papertank
password=*can'tshow*
database=eq
compression=off


### --- This file tells world.exe what computer mySQL is on. Host should
### --- be left "localhost" unless mysql is on a differant computer than world.exe.

If you are patched (your client) from 04/04/04 (I think) up to 05/05/04 (also, I think) you should be able to use 0.5.6, but anything after that date up to, but not including the 18th, you will need to use 0.5.7

You are running 0.5.6? When did you patch your EQ client last?

And now I messed up the LoginServer.ini file:
Minilogin:
Code:
[LoginConfig] block not found in LoginServer.ini.
MiniLoginAccounts.ini read.
Server mode: Standalone
Login server listening on port:5999
LoginServer.ini:

Code:
### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to. 
### --- Leave the account and password field BLANK. 

### --- Public Login is un-supported as is LAN playing. We recommend using the eqemulator.net Loginserver ALWAYS. 

### --- NOTE: You can NOT use the word "Server" in worldname. 
### --- NOTE2: the word "Server" is added to each server automatically. 

# READ README.TXT 
[LoginServer] 
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net 
loginport=5997
worldname=Shadow Worlds(Beta)
worldaddress=192.168.1.100
locked=false 

[WorldServer] 
Defaultstatus=0 
Unavailzone= 

[LoginConfig] 
ServerMode=Standalone 
ServerPort=5997 
UplinkAddress= 
UplinkPort= 
UplinkAccount= 
UplinkPassword= 

[ChatChannelServer] 
ChatChannelServer=localhost
i hate myself


[/code]

If you get a [Block] not found message, generally it is because you have a space at the end of that line.

Go to the line with [LoginConfig] in it, press the END key, and press backspace to delete any spaces.

You have a space or spaces at the end of your loginserver= lines, follow the instructions in my previous post to delete all spaces at the end of all lines in LoginServer.ini, world is very picky like that :(

EDIT: Also, depending on when you patched, you will probably want to run 5.7DR3 executables, try Richardo's in the EQEmu forum, or mine at: http://www.rama.demon.co.uk/5.7DR3WIN32.zip
