Windows Server Installer :: Modular & Scripted

[Tegila]

Ok I finally got everything going and 99.99% ready to launch, but near end of install got error world.exe is not valid win32 application. When I closed it the installer continued.

Setup luginserver etc, then went to launch with t-start-server (same with login server) and again get not valid win32 etc. After closing this one it popped through several cms Windows, then stopped at launching the zones. (Note to self..get rest of zones)

This time every time I close the error box it pops back up with a new line. The 3rd error results in change from:
Access is denied.: 0/30 UCS: DOWN queryserve DOWN liginserver: UP
TO
Workd: UP Zones 1/30 ucs down queryserv down luginserver up

Each error increasing number of zones up and changing previous line to start with access is denied.

So I close error til I'm at 30/30 zones up. See ucs down and queryserv, so I run ucs and same error, not valid win32, yadda yadda yadda

So while I'm finally so close I can smell it, I have some barriers.

Yes I'm 64 bits os, yes fresh install though it had to be started twice, first time I again got the not connected to internet thing, but this time turning off firewall fixed it, the other pc's and os's it didnt.

So, it's possible Perl or Maria got installed twice bc they run before any download, but this error doesn't sound right for that.

Ran the scripted installer so nothing outside it got installed that shouldn't. (Read someone with this error had 64bit and 32bit Perl installed)

Any suggestions? I know I'll have to run every .exe in the folder again once fixed as it seems every exe is triggering it.


Don't mind the syntax, typing on phone not pc, no c&p or screenshots or logs to post right now.

I followed all the steps but as soon as I run the eq batch file after running a while it gives this error

[Error:eqsmu_server.pll MySQL path not found, please add the path for automatic
database upgrading to continue...

I do not se a MySWL at all in the Files I downloaded ?

If you did not install reference this:

Download MySQLThere are two methods to this. One is to manually download and install MySQL, the other uses XAMPP (link) to install. The bonus for the latter method is if you want to install the Peq Database Editor tool (and most people will want to), then you will most likely need to install XAMPP anyway!

§Method 1Download the Windows (x86, 32-bit), MSI Installer version of MySQL Community Server*here**and put it in the*C:\EQ\Installs*directory.The current version as of April 2, 2014 is 5.1.73. DO NOT download the essentials version (it does not have the required developer components). Download the one called mysql-5.1.73-win32.msi . When you click on the download page it asks you to register - you do not need to. At the bottom of the page is a link that says "No thanks, just start my download". Use that link.

§Method 2Download the latest*XAMPP. This guide was written using the "7.1.1 / PHP 7.1.1" version*xampp-win32-7.1.1-0-VC14-installer.exe. Simply install XAMPP using the defaults but ensure PHP and MySQL are included, and remove Perl from the list as you will install it yourself.



If you have xampp.. run it and start MySQL. I am not familiar with any new guides, so not sure what it refers you to.

Thanks Bub, I was lost and that helped a lot! Does the MySQL or XXAMP have to be 64 bit or does it matter. I am running a 64 bit windows 8. Or is it that the 32 goes for any ?

Still not working probably doesnt help that I have no clue if I am installing MySQL right or not. Any Help anyone ? I tried that site but it's not working even with there directions. It gives the same error.

Did you check your windows path variables to see if something like this is in there ?

C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin;

Also, check your windows services to see if there is a MySQL running at all.

[Arkansas]

I dont mean to sound stupid but I dont know what you mean by variables and or path :( That's why I downloaded this pack I thought it was going to be idiot proof..lol Unfortunately for me its not.. I know very little about MySQL etc. But if I get advice how to do it I can do it.

Sorry Arkansas, when you mentioned MySQL, I assumed you did NOT use Akka's installer ?
since it installs
MariaDB instead of the straight MySQL. If that installer went wrong, I would recommend
uninstalling everything. MySql, perl, etc., then starting out fresh using Akka's install package.
I assume you got the install package from here? -

Yes thats it... I installed it 15 times now and every time says that error about MySQL then after installing mysql then it gave the last error about emu.pl path or something ?

[Arkansas]

Here is the error I get ?

Ok, it definately looks like the installer and update script is erroring out when it reaches the
the check for mysql or mariadb path because it can't find one. Unfortunately, I have no idea
why, so you will have to have some patience and wait for someone who may have more
knowledge about that. Sorry, I tried.

Here's a quick "easy UI" to edit your windows path, if and when you need to. Just follow the 1-2-3 steps indicated in the pic.
Control Panel > System > Advanced system settings

Ok so I got it working finally, had to wipe my hard drive because I got a virus somehow from online. But good to go now. My thing now is its showing red error on one of the windows is this normal and if so How do I play the server ? Do you have to have EQ game downloaded as well ? I have the game EQ Titan. do I have to change files in it or logon notepad etc. ? I have only messed with WoW Private Server Repacks thats it. Never these kinds before ?

It's starting to look like you are going to have a ton of reading to do on these support forums,
with both the game client and the running of the server. If you have a clean copy of EQ Titan,
(or any other supported clients), that have never been patched into EQ Live servers, then it
will work. You may want to start reading through the "Getting Started" section for playing the
game, as well many other topics dealing with errors or issues coming up on your server.
If you are using your own login server, there is config files that need to be edited to match
what's in the database login tables.

I am so confused thats what I thought this thread/download was basically a private server a unpack and play. Didnt know I would have to get a copy of the game or it wasnt included or have to change stuff :( Thought it was gonna be like a WoW Private server change a login file on your WoW folder and open and connect :( Is this pack not meant to be offline ? To use and host my own mini server for myself to play on ?
