7.0 Titanium setup for clueless newbs. I'm the guinea pig!

Thanks a lot Sesmar!

It looks like I am wanting Minilogin because I am only trying to set up a small server for me and my friends. Now, what order should I install things? Does it matter? I am guessing that because Cavedude's installer has options for Minilogin, I should install Minilogin first. But...

The Minilogin guide here:
http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...MiniLoginSetup
says that it assumes you have not set up your database for Minilogin yet. It also mentions some stuff about ignoring some database redundancy errors. That leads me to believe that we should have a database already set up before installing Minilogin. That would mean running Cavedude's installer first.

Does it matter what order you install these things?

The DRP ServerPack will install the Minilogin Server and mark the correct server variables in the database as well as setup your config file for you to use Minilogin if you select this option.

If you want to do a manual setup of Minilogin I would suggest installing the database and EqEmu server first then configuring them to use Minilogin.

Does the DRP ServerPack install the database as well? I am just wondering what the easiest next step would be after installing MySQL and Perl.

3.0 comes with both my database and PEQ's. 3.1 only comes with mine.

Ok, not to be like a broken record, but what do you do next after installing MySQL and Perl? Will your 3.0 installer work with eqemu7.0?

Next step is to run the installer. It is crucial to specify the proper directory for both EverQuest AND MySQL to the installer. Otherwise the spells won't get copied over and the database won't source properly. No 3.0 is for 0.6.6 but honestly it's a lot more stable. 0.7.0 has some minor problems at the moment.

1. Would it be better to install the 3.1 serverpack now or later after these "minor problems" are fixed?
2. If the serverpacks come with your database, will new users still need to get the PEQ databases?

What exactly to the databases do anyways? I read somewhere that they allow quests to work. What would be the difference if one used just PEQ, PEQ and your database, or just your database?
