If you followed the wikki, the links to download everything is there (7.0 Server guide). There's even a link to caveman's datapack (fourth link in that guide) and even datapacks by everyone else for that matter. The newest version of the DRP (Dark Rogue Productions) installer is 3.52, and it has cavedude and PEQ's (luclin beta) database included. Just pick which one you want to install when you have the option to.

caveman's datapack has more zone populated, but is missing quests. PEQ's database is striving for a more retail like datapack and has some quests working.

Seriously though, the links for all of this are in plain sight on the wikki.
7.0 Server setup guide

Useful links.

There shouldn't be any files you extract there until you install the database. And even then, there should be only one folder aside from the MySQL files from the installation. I honestly couldn't tell you what you did wrong. I installed it according to that guide and didn't have any issues what so ever.

You might want to uninstall everything, delete the residue folders and make sure you follow that guide word for word. If you're having issues with the dos window closing, then I'm almost certain you didn't install MySQL correctly.

By funny chance, I hope you're not typing "C:\mysql\bin\mysql -u root peq" with the quotes. :P

no hehe i cut out the qoutes. i installed mysql to C:/ like it said and then downloaded the database. when i unzip the file there is one folder. inside there are 4 worded documents, two are loadsd two are drops. i drug the whole folder into the mysql/bin folder like i said in the last post. it still isnt reconizing it though. it says that 6.2 is compatible with 7.0 so i got the velious database since it was labled 6.2. i tried the luclin labled 6.6 at there site also but still nothing. what is the correct way to put the database folder into mysql? alright thanks

Uh. Might want to try reading the wikki again. No where does it say to drag any fles into the MySQL folder. Or did I miss something?

When you install using EQEmuServerPack-3.52, it automatically installs one database depending on which one you choose and sources everything for you.

I think you may be trying too hard. Just take it easy and read everything thoroughly. There's really no easier way to explain it other than it's shown. Like I said, I did it the first time and had no issues. The wikki really can't explain it easier than that.

After you place the two files (load_system.sql and load_empty_users.sql) into your mysql\bin directory you have to log into MySql, mysql -u root if you are not using a password and mysql -u root -p if you are.

Once you are logged into mysql type:
Code:
create database eq <enter>

use eq <enter>
Then you need to source the DB.

Code:
source load_system.sql;
When that one is finished source the next one.

Code:
source load_empty_users.sql;
Please read the Wiki again for further and more detailed instructions.
