Server Setup Issues

[knight1080]

I really hate to sound like an idiot, but damn it anyway. I'm going to try and reinstall everything, again. Regarding Cavedude's setup program, what exactly would that take the place of in the guide?

And for running the world.exe file from the prompt...

I think eq is the default username in the config file. You either have to make sure you setup a mysql account for the user named "eq" or you have to use one that you do have setup. You can always try your root login to make sure it is working. Here is the section you need to look at in your config file in the eqemu directory. Make sure you are not editing the file that ends with xml.fulll the file that the program is using has to end with just .xml and no .full on the end.

Make sure you setup this section of the config file:

	<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. -->
	<database>
	    <host>localhost</host>
	    <port>3306</port>
	    <username>root</username>
	    <password>rootpassword</password>
	    <db>peq</db>
	</database>

You only have to set the 3 parts in red there. Make sure to replace the database name with whatever database you are using. If you are using PEQ, then it will need to be set to "peq", and if you are using the AX database, you need to set it to "ax" there. The wiki setup guide explains that perfectly.

Make sure you are using this guide when trying to get this setup. If you follow it exactly, you can't fail!

-Sighs- Apparently I fail, so I'm just going to start over a seventh time and see what the crap it is I'm doing wrong. As I've earlier said, I've followed both guides two-three times, and I'm still getting the same failures.

Here we go...

Try posting your eqemu config file and the name of the file you are configuring. Make sure to change any passwords in the paste before you post it, so we don't all see your password lol.

Already deleted all the files--in the process of redownloading everything. Again.

Grargh. Not my weekend, heh.

All right...just reinstalled everything according to http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...ka=ws992mysql5 and I still am getting this error:

?
So close I can smell it...grah. Update MySQL and rehash?

Try searching the forums for "Error: #1251:" and you shouldn't have any trouble resolving the issue. Let us know if you have anymore problems. You just have to set the old password.
