<p>I'm trying set up a local pool, using the php-mpos and the zetacoin-qt executable file, but for some reason, when I attempt to connect using cgminer, I get this error: Pool 0 slow/down or URL or credentials invalid, this happens even though I've created a worker in php-mpos, I am running all of this on a windows machine.

<pre><code>cgminer-nogpu.exe -o "stratum+tcp://localhost:9332" -O admin.user:password
