I'm attempting to follow the install guides but..
Every guide I'm reading says to install Perl, then enter 2 commands in a command prompt.
I've installed Perl by typing yes where required, and C:\Perl for the installation folder, but even after rebooting, typing the 2 lines in a command prompt simply gives me back 'ppm is not recognized as an internal or external command' I've ran a private wow server long ago, so I feel like I'm not making a horribly simple mistake, but maybe I am? |
I just tried doing the same exact steps on my laptop and I get the same exact error... I must be making some really, really dumb mistake. But I can certainly assure that I have read and followed every step to the T in the guides. :/

Figured out the problem.. Someone had posted a link to what they claimed was the right version of Perl to use.
It installed and looked the exact same as the latest Perl, but wasn't allowing me to enter the commands after reboot. Just downloaded the most recent Perl and all is fine.. Hopefully this much newer version of Perl will be alright to use. |
Usually when that happens the install didnt actually add perl to the windows path or you used the older version that was not packaged as a msi installer.

Do not provide incorrect information. it is 5.12 for 32-bit, nothing else...
Everything you need is now included in the SVN. |

Which being a stickied post is likely referred to 100 fold than this post thus chrss's reply, wherein itself refers 5.10. Hopefully someone with editing permissions can straighten that post out a bit, as people rarely sift through all the posts in that thread, I'm sure, where a reply may contain that "5.10 is no longer valid." |

Maybe the other thread could be unstickied, but you could bother to read all the stickies on server compiling. |

I agree with your next post Sorvani that the old compile guides could be unsticked at this point in time. |
It would be absolutely amazing if someone could write a very detailed up to date guide.
I'm sure this comparison is annoying to hear, but because of the sheer amount of guides and assistance, creating a wow server in comparison is by far, much, much easier. The out of date stickied posts make it very confusing.. And who knows how many more great servers might spring up if it was a little easier! :) |

@sorvani, yes, but lets admit, having more than one stickied all of which vary in their own ways is a little perverse and inconvenient. Though, hopefully what I have half put together will help resolve that and provide a constructive criticism, more importantly an accurate solution. |

If someone put it on the wiki instead then it could be edited as things change. Even so, the older guides outline the steps needed to set up a server just fine. The filenames may be out of date, and they may recommend an earlier version of Perl, but the concept is still the same. |

I'm definitely looking forward to your guide Ghanja. |
Sometimes you need to follow the spirit of the guide and not the exact letter. There's plenty of info for someone trying to get things going if they aren't afraid to do a little reading in the guide thread and then ask informed questions if they need to.

Had I not been using Perl 5.10 since the day it came out on my server with zero problems I wouldn't have said it fucking works. :rolleyes: |
