Server Set Up Guides: Can we do better?

[lerxst2112]

We're at 2444 right now. If you write a guide based on 2214 then it's already out of date.

If you're going to write it, why wouldn't you put it on the wiki? If you don't then you're just perpetuating the same problem with the other guides that people constantly complain are out of date even though they all contain all the steps you need to get things working. You might have to search a bit if a process has changed, like the addition of CMake, but the steps are all the same.

i think an installer would take most of the problems away. one time eqemu had an installer. it wasnt well known, but a few had it and all you had to do is simple changes for the configuration. an installer would check what you had and even get you the stuff you need.


opensim has soas for standalone server that has everything you need: server, apache, mysql and you only need to start or stop the servers. its use localhost but some people can change the configuration for more regions, more prims, and set to external IP. since its for flash drive, most people dont change their IP.

now if i could do an installer, i would try that for EQEmu.

so far i have activeperl 5.12 32bit/5.14 64bits
mysql 5.0.67 32bit (should be 5.0.8?)
cmake 2.8.10

i have two database .sql files. that doesnt seem to be complete
i have a complete maps including the fear expansion that i used for live
i dont know if i need my spells from live or the emulator has it already

give me a starter for bin. 2214, 2444, or something else that includes Fear expansion and bot support. i can cmake one, if needed.
give me a starter for db.

after i get a successful build then i will think about where i will put the documentation. right now, its a starter for me but will require a rewrite.
