Logging into a local server

I followed the instruction explicitely in the readme found at this link : http://www.eqemu.net/documents/readme.html

Everytime I go to login and it doesn't matter what account I use be it eqemu or anything it rejects me and says I can't login to that account due to patcher server problems. I don't get it :/ Someone give me an idea of what I'm doing wrong please!!

when i had this problem i went looking through the forums. the way i fixed it was to open mysql.exe and type

Code:

insert into account
set name='eqemu', password='eqemu', status=200;

then open a dos prompt, change to the eqemu dir and type

Code:

world.exe flag eqemu 200

then try running eq and using the username "eqemu" password "eqemu" (minus quotes). hope this works for you

that worked, only one more question.....how do I run the "patchme" thing they mention in that walkthrough? EQW is being dorky and won't let me reposition the window :/

the basic idea is using a dos prompt change to your everquest directory and type "eqgame patchme" (minus quotes). there is a way to do it using shortcuts i've been having problems with that approach. what i did was make a .bat file in the everquest directory and put "eqgame patchme" in it then made a shortcut to it on the desktop. hope this helps out a bit
