Can't get past character select, help!

[greed80]

I have spent weeks trying to get my own private server up and running and I am finally seeing some results.

I can log in, and finally see my server as the only one on the list. I created my first character but 1 of 2 things happens then:

1. I get a small pop up window saying "zone is not available" or something.

or

2. (and more frequently now) I get booted straigt back to the log in screen.

I have spent days going through the forums trying to find tips that worked for others but can't seem to find anything helpfull or complete. I am a novice when it comes to computers but I will try my best here.

eqemu_config.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<server>
<world>
<shortname>Greed</shortname>
<longname>Greed's Test</longname>

<!-- address has to be specified for minilogin to work -->
<address>localhost</address>
<localaddress>localhost</localaddress>

<!-- Loginserver information. -->
<loginserver>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>5999</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>

<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
<key>make up some random string of characters here</key>

<!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service -->
<http port="9080" enable="true" mimefile="mime.types"/>
</world>

<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini -->
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>root</username>
<password></password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>
</server>


and my LoginServer.ini from my minilogin folder
### --- 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 reccomend using the EQEmu.net Loginserver ALWAYS.

### --- NOTE: Starting 6-1-2002, you can no longer use the word "Server" in worldname.
### --- NOTE2: the word "Server" is added to each server automaticly.

# READ README.TXT

[LoginServer]

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=StandAlone
ServerPort=5999

If you need something else please let me know. Knowing me I probably left something out but after many wiping things clean and starting over I am pretty sure I have everthing I need.

Oh, also when I use the start.bat and it opens up the 2 dos windows, the World.exe one looks good except that it cannot find the file "eqtime.cfg". Couldn't find anything usefull in forums on that either, but not sure if it's even related.

(I know the guides tell me to use port 5998 when using Titanium but it would leave the server select blank for me, when I switched it back to 5999 it got me all the way up to the character select screen.)

Thanks in advance!

Seems these are the 2 error logs I get:

1.
[05.19. - 17:29:38] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_error_world_0452.log
[05.19. - 17:29:38] Could not load EQTime file eqtime.cfg

2.
[05.19. - 17:34:04] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_error_zone_3060.log
[05.19. - 17:34:04] Error in ZoneDatabase::LoadAAs query 'SELECT skill_id, level, cost from aa_required_level_cost order by skill_id': #1146: Table 'peq.aa_required_level_cost' doesn't exist

You are missing at least one required SQL update, specifically 1790_required_aa_required_level_cost.sql

You will find them in the trunk\EQEmuServer\utils\sql\svn directory. You should apply all of the ones newer than your database version. You may also need to apply the last two lines of 1711 since it isn't in the PEQ database download.
