New Linux Server Guide

[cubber]

I am following your guide to try to get the emu installed on gentoo 2006.1. The problem I was having when I tried to compile was that gentoo 2006.1 uses gcc 4.1.1. After much searching I found out that you can run an earlier version of gcc parallel to gcc 4.1.1 and switch between them when you need to. Here is how I did it for those that are having the same issue:

-First get gcc-3.4.6-r1...

emerge -av =sys-devel/gcc-3.4.6-r1

-After that is done you need to tell gentoo to use gcc 3.4.6-r1 as the default compiler, do this by using gcc-config.

-Type gcc --v to see what version of gcc you are running, more than likely this will spew out gcc 4.1.1

-Type gcc-config -l to list all the versions of gcc on your system.

-Type gcc-config # where # = the number that corresponds to the version of gcc that you want to use. In my case 3.4.6-r1 was number 1 on the list. So I typed:

gcc-config 1

-Type source /etc/profile

-Type gcc --v and it should show gcc 3.4.6-r1 rather than gcc 4.1.1

run make

when you are done compiling eqemu you probably want to switch back to gcc 4.1.1 as your default copiler so type:

type gcc-config -l to find out what number gcc 4.1.1 is on the list, in my case it was number 6.

type gcc-config 6

type source /etc/profile

type gcc --v to verify that it says gcc 4.1.1

Thats it, now you can switch between the two whenever you need to compile new eqemu source code.

Now that I got it compiled I just gotta figure out how to finish the server and get it up and running!

The links to Angelox DB seem to be down.
Anyone have a DB that they use for something like Debian/Sarge that is they think would be highly stable and maybe have more than luclinRC1?
Im looking(hoping) for something thats already done. Proven to work with maximum stability. All the luclinRC1 zones working correctly(As intended) as priority.Aything else is just Icing.
Im using the same version of eqemu as the tutorial. If I can avoid any changelog crap Ill be satisfied no matter what.

I just had to re-boot my connection, Links seem to be OK now.

The Tutorial is also good for the latest EQEmu version. Exept some of the Makefile changes can be omitted now. Sorry for sort of abandoning the guide the last weeks but my workload was just to heavy. I had hoped that some other people took up the slack and corrected and extended the guide meanwhile...
The good news is that I will soon be able to spend some more time refining the guide while I set up an EQEmu server on my new dedicated server connected with 100 MBit/s.

Crap..I tried to source the sql from Angelox with sqlyog and I get this error.

PRIMARY KEY (`aaid`,`rank`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8

Line no.:42
Error Code: 1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8' at line 14

EDIT>>I should say Im tring to do this on windows if it dont seem obvious LOL..Im trying to get the db ready to just transfer to the server.

Can you try a restore with mysql-administrator? I'm using MySql 5, but I don't think that should matter.

I just downloaded to my windows setup and restored it to a MySQL 4, saw the error - give me a while and i'll make a windows MySql4 back up for you.
