I'm pretty new to all this, so bare with me.
I installed MySQL and I don't have C:/MySQL/lib or C:/MySQL/source. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, Will I run into a problem down the road not having these files? If so, how do I go about getting them?

*EDIT* a little reading goes along way, I figured it out. in control panel you can add Developer Components to mysql.

Ok, so u say that works, but when i install it, what am i supposed to do I.E tinkering into the C++ to replace the perl file like i dont see the lib/ or w/e it wants to add in that directory. any tips?

The bin and lib directories are in the perl directory in the root of your xampp installation.

Any suggestions on getting the 2 repositories pulled down. I've tried with both TortoiseSVN and SmartSVN. Gave both like an hour to try to do anything. TSVN just freezes at the Checkout window until I finally cancel it, SSVN stops right at "Checking repository layout..." and won't go any further. Does the same on both the source and the DB.

EDIT:

SmartSVN finally just timed out. It gave the error "timed out waiting for server PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/trunk'". I have all firewalls disabled and if I manually browse the two folders in Chrome I can successfully navigate both structures. Stumped and not sure what to do about this now.

I have a suggestion, I seem to remember this happening to me a while back. I changed http to https and it worked. I hope that is helpful.

Oh weird, my reply that I fixed it ended up on one thread but not the other that I was inquiring on even though I posted to both. I fixed the problem. As it turns out it was my Bitdefender AV, even though I completely disabled the firewall. I also had to disable the AV & Privacy portions, no idea why that was the case as I got no pop-up warning and only the firewall should have affected this. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

eqemulogin server stuck
 

Well after lots of searching found this thread.

I am able to compile etc just can not get the eqemuloginserver to work for me. Here is the current output while trying to run eqemuloginserver by itself manually.

[Debug] [10.28.11 - 14:20:47] Logging System Init.
[Debug] [10.28.11 - 14:20:47] Config System Init.
[Error] [10.28.11 - 14:20:47] Config::Parse(), file was unable to be opened for parsing.
[Error] [10.28.11 - 14:20:47] Database Initialization Failure.
[Debug] [10.28.11 - 14:20:47] Config System Shutdown.
[Debug] [10.28.11 - 14:20:47] Log System Shutdown.

I know it has to be something simple.

Dave

Figured it out
 

Figured it out went through the source and in Main read where itwas looking for login.ini

So far so good.

Dave

Logging in to the server. Please wait...
 

Still no EQ playing yet but I am getting much closer. Seems the client is getting stuck right after authentication somewhere.

Any Ideas?

Dave

Which client?
I suddenly have issues with my back up original non patched download of seeds client. Something with the opcodes but my UF is working for me.

I have been going back and fourth with Titanium and Underfoot.

Underfoot seems to work the best thus far. Having to go through the zones one by one and fix models etc.

I need to make a GM character soon so I can check out the Service functions before I make this a semi-permanent lan server.

im doing fine up untill after i use c++ to compile. i get 5 success and 1 error. then at thsi part. (• Now use the following files and folders from your new build, and place them in your newly created EQEmu folder:
• changelog.txt
• BUILD directory: Chatserver.exe, EMuShareMem.dll, World.exe, Zone.exe
• EQLAUNCH/RELEASE directory: eqlaunch.exe
• UTILS directory: mail_opcodes.conf, opcodes.conf, patch_6.2.conf, patch_Anniversary.conf, patch_Live.conf, patch_SoD.conf, patch_SoF.conf, patch_Titanium.conf
• UTILS directory: all of the files in the DEFAULTS folder
• Place all the subfolders and files from the *defaults* dir into the "EQEmu" folder,
• Then place into said "EQEmu" folder: Chatserver.exe, EMuShareMem.dll, World.exe, Zone.exe, eqlaunch.exe, mail_opcodes.conf, opcodes.conf, patch_6.2.conf, patch_Anniversary.conf, patch_Live.conf, patch_SoF.conf, patch_Titanium.conf)

where do i get these file from after c++ has compiled?

Go to the source folder \source\trunk\eqemuserver\build

It makes the build directory when you compile. The files you need are there.

thank you that helped now when i get to here
((Phase 3)
Setup PEQ DB
• Navigate to folder c:\EQEmuSVNFiles\DB that you created and setup earlier. You should see a file called: peqdb_RevXXXX.sql.gz. Extract it. This is the "bulk" of the database. Now keep an eye on the revision number as it signifies the correlation between the server number. Example: If you have a Server Rev774, you can run peqdb_Rev859.sql since it's compatible with the server revision which is Rev774. If you update to a newer server revision, then you need to update the database if the revision of the server surpasses it. I.E. DB Rev# > Server Rev#
• Open Navicat lite
• double click on local
• right click on local, new database
• name the new database PEQ
• Now open a command prompt and go to the folder that has the peqdb_RevXXXX.sql you just extracted
• run this command
o mysql -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD PEQ < peqdb_RevXXXX.sql
)

when i put that in with the correct rev number im getting an error that states 1045 <28000>:access denied for 'USERNAME''@'localhost' <using password:YES>

ive went back throught the guide about a dozen times and my head is pounding, tips suggestions?

1. did you replace username and password with your mysql username and password?

2. follow this guide http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=32980
and all the comments in the thread. it's about the best guide on here right now.

ok inserted root as default username and my password and now i get the error PEQ is not a reconized file grr

Because you didn't do these steps:

You don't need to use Navicat, but you do need to create the database somehow.

It seems that either I've errored somewhere or the files when you checkout the svn for C:\EQemuSVNFiles\EQemu\trunk the folder indicated in the walkthrough 'trunk/EQEmuServer' only holds 'peqdatabase'.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

There are two different URLs you need to checkout with SVN. It sounds like you used the database URL for both.

Trouble Compiling...
 

After following the guide I'm getting the following.
Using the Server.sln that comes with the SVN checkout
Build: 4 succeeded, 2 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped

I've also rechecked my settings in Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition

My build has the following files in it:
Folders:
EMuShareMem
eqlaunch
queryserv
ucs
World
Zone

Files
Chatserver.exe
EmuShareMem.dll
eqlaunch.exe
queryserv.exe

Did you want to tell us what the errors are or should we guess?

Well I did finally comb through the messages and it was barking about Perl512.dll so I've installed Perl 5.12.4.1205 and it compiled without any errors.

Next the only thing is I can't locate the file patch_Live.conf...

You're following a guide that's 2 years old. There in no such file anymore.

here you go Ruldain

Patch_Live.conf

why would you want to make things unnecessarily complex for someone who is having issues? seriously...

Listen, and understand. That Noport is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you have every last opcode.

Listen.

Noport is the hero EQEmu deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So, we'll troll him, because he can take it. Because he's not a developer. He's a silent guardian. A opcode protector. A Dark Knight.

Will this guide be updated for the new CMake compiling process? I noticed the directory structure has changed a bit.

setup and compiling are really two different things, and this already exists:
