I'm a little confused by the commands given on your screen. How do I start mysql from the directory where my .sql files are located? I mean, what command am I putting in. I type the command: cd\peqdb which then puts me to C:peqdb> After that I type in: mysql -u root -p and then last I put in:

create database peq;
\u peq
source load_player.sql

In which I get the Failed to open file 'load_player.sql', error: 2

Before you type in the "mysql - u root -p", type in "dir" and look if all those files are listed (aa_timers.sql, account.sql, load_player.sql, etc.).

Right, I looked over that, and is partly why I posted that other little bit.


He needs to find the directory the file is in then do a:

example: c:/programs/peqdb/load_player.sql then just add in the rest.

This will have the same effect as navigating your command line there.

This is what I get:

What command should I be typing in next

Make sure you are pressing enter after each part.

There's your problem! You have the peq_db within your peqdb folder.

Here you should be typing in "cd\peqdb\peq_db". Then try it. Have fun, you are on your way to having a server!
