Ok, I dont know if this problem is in this thread, as there is a lot to read through, but there is one problem I ran into just with my OS, that you might consider editing into your guide (which is great btw)......... If you are using Windows vista (not sure it 64 bit makes the difference or not), you might want to turn off UAC before attemping the "checkout SVN" step. When I tried it, it kept telling me cannot create directory blah, blah, blah... After disabling UAC (which you can do by running "msconfig" and choosing the tools tab and launching the "disable UAC"), I was able to make it happen.

I know this was posted a year ago, but what was your solution to number 2? Or anyone else know how to solve it? I am having the same problem with error 1017.

First, download the compiled server binaires.

Download Revision 774 with Bots here. Extract it. You should see a folder after you've extracted it called build - all your files are in there. This will be referred to as the server folder for this tutorial.

extract it to where? ....

I am trying this install but am stuck on step 4. When I try to source the database I get:
ERROR:
Failed to open file 'peqdb_rev1038.sql' , error: 2

Read in the post where someone was having same issue and figured it out but unfortunately didn't say what to do to fix problem. If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.

You can get the server pack from:
http://code.google.com/p/projecteqemu/downloads/list
hope that helps

In order to be able to source those files, make sure you are in the same folder as those files are located before you log into the mysql server. Or, if you have Navicat or something, you can just run them from the GUI.

I'm getting the same error. Did you manage to find a fix ?

After extracting the database the file shows a blue ? icon. BTW, It was extracted to the same folder as the other sql files, ie, C:\Program Files\mysql\bin\projecteqdb\peqdatabase

Any tips appreciated

someone should write a "SQL security for dummies using EQEMU" wiki and all wiki setup guides reference to it.
