Trying to set up server

[pfyon]

sudo apt-get remove mysql-server

I remember getting that error with mysql when I set up my server too, will have to try to remember how I fixed it.

Hi pfyon, I removed mysql and reinstalled but still get the same error. Please let me know if you remember how you got around this error.

Thanks.

I wanted to post an update in case anyone else runs into this problem because I think I have found a solution.

I ran "sudo ln -s /etc/mysql/my.cnf /etc/my.cnf" because I think it was looking for /etc/my.cnf instead of /etc/mysql/my.cnf. This seems to have fixed that problem. When I ran mysql -u root again I got a new error "ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)". I fixed that by running "mysql --user=root -p" and entering a new password.

I think I have mysql set up correctly. I am going to work on sourcing my database. However, the guide says that the databasefile.sql should be in server/database but I don't have the database directory. I'm going to try and find it. Does my eqemu_config.xml look correct from a couple posts back?

Thank you.
