Not sure whats going on

[Lordrarsg]

I went through all of the steps listed in Techguy84's EQEmu guide, and followed it closely.

But when I went to run the server the windows would just flash then close.

When I opened a command prompt and ran world.exe and it gives the following message:

C:\EQEmu>world.exe
[Debug] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_debug_world_12852.log
[Debug] [WORLD__INIT] Loading server configuration..
Unable to load 'eqemu_config.xml': Error reading Attributes.
[Debug] [WORLD__INIT_ERR] Loading server configuration failed.

Not sure what it means by Error reading attributes.

This is the contents of eqemu_config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0">

<server>
<world>
<shortname>World1</shortname>
<longname>World1 Test</longname>

<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
<address>*.*.*.*</address>
<localaddress>192.168.136.2</localaddress>

<!-- Loginserver information. -->
<loginserver>
<host>eqemulator.net</host>
<port5998</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>

<!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service. -->
<http port="9080" enabled="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>

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You are missing at least one closing > where I have indicated in red.

Dang it. Thanks. I reread that 4 times too.

I feel like a real arse.
