COMPLETE PUBLIC SERVER SETUP - Jan-2011

[Raybot]

Well I'll be damned. You're the man! (Woman? /shrug).

Anything in particular that pointed to that being the problem? Aside from things being in correctly and still getting the lib errors.

Well, mine compiled and yours didn't, and the order of the directories was the only obvious difference so I arranged mine like yours to see if it made a difference.

Link ordering issues where the project and a linked library both use the same external library are common enough that I had an idea that might be it, I just needed to set it up and see if that was the case.

First off thanks for making this guide. I REALLY appreciate it. I have read many different sources of information here to get me to this point. I have got to the point where I felt I was ready to start my server ... after 5 days of hair pulling LOL.

However when I start i get the following issues could anyone help me, I cant seem to find any related info to this issue... I am thinking its related to some sourcing in the DB not being correct but when I check them in Navicat they are there....

This means there is something wrong with your database. After you sourced the initial version did you apply all of the required updates?

[Bigstink357]

Yes sir, I did this on 3 seperate attempts from clean install, patching/updating all source updates from current version 2098 i believe.

So anything from 2098 plus that said required was added.

Unless I did something wrong? the guide is very specific on what to do in Navicat.... I did something wrong but cant figure what it is.

Thanks!
Big

When I followed the installing instructions on page one, Perl installed without ever having a chance to enter the commands at the prompt as told to in the instructions.

Talking about this part..

3. Now install the Perl 5.10 (1007). Type yes to everything BUT There will be
one question that has C:\Perl in it. That question requires you to enter
that path as the answer. So just type c:\perl (YOU HAVE TO REBOOT FOR NEXT STEP)
After you rebooted, open command prompt and type the following (one at a time and
wait for it to finish):
ppm install DBI
ppm install IO-stringy

Once I entered in C:\Perl it again just had me keep typing yes, then when it was done installing the command prompt closed. Did I miss something?

During the step backing up the database, can someone tell me what size it should be or at least the average size of the backup?
