Most of the quides and DataBases's are out of date make sure that once u get it where u try to boot up the server and lets say you get error 1034 or something (not a real error) copy some of what the error says and then do a search for it on the boards. Alot of the error have fixes for them sitting around randomly placed on the boards. And i dont think any guide contains all of them. Usualy any error you'll get is because of the DB not being compatable with your binarys. The best thing to do if you keep trying and keep getting errors that are the same and nothing on the forums works. Start a new db again because chances are something got corrupted. If that still doesnt work there are a couple db's out there u can try to use. Its all a learning process i dont think anyone just jumps up and Poof theres a server waiting on them
.
Dont give up if u dont succede at first. There are plently of people who can help you here but dont look like an idiot and ask a question we've already answered for the other 20 idiots who asked it and are never greatfull for us taking time to try and help, after awhile we quit helping people like that because they just bitch at you all day because they cant follow your simple directions and supposidly it doesnt work for them. And somehow thats my fault heh.
