creating a database
 

Hey im trying to make a server and im at the part where i type in create database eq; blah blah.

Everything goes fine until I type in source reloaddb.sql;

After i type that in i get "Query OK...." for like 6 secs then i get "ERROR 1054 Unknown colum 'MR' in 'Field List'.

Then it goes back to "Query OK..."

Then i get some more errors but they aren't long, and thereforce i can not tell what they say. Something about city defense.

But anyway, does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

It' normal to get a few beeps when sourcing in a new database so unless there are additional symptons I wouldn't worry about it.

It's more than a few beeps. It goes for about 20seconds, then stops, then starts. And when I run world.exe, I get all sorts of errors.

Well there could be a number of problems. Make sure you're starting with a clean db.sql and that it is the same version for the sourcing .sql.

Also make sure you're using the right binaries for the database. You can go to the world building forum and find a zip with both the binaries and the databases all together so you're sure to get the right versions.

If that doesn't help you'll have to post the errors world.exe gives you.

Thanks i'll try that

Ok I redownloaded Drawdes but I was using the right version. I ran World.exe and here's what I get. Lots of errors ;)

1) You have a permissions problem... Fix it... There are about a million posts explaining how..

2) Why use version 0.4.0??
