i'm not sure with that all phantom, brain is on overload atm lol...however...
i uninstalled everything since i started trying t odo this, with theexceptions of windows updates of course, 7zip, winrar, and anything saying c++ or .net in its name. this was to try the manual from the beginning to try to fix whatever issue studio was having...
after i did all the uninstalls, my headache growing, i decided it may be a good idea to just take the netbook here to the library (1 mile away) as it has free public internet that runs on actual cable broadband. it's only 2MBps download, but that's 10x my phone tether and its slightly faster and without the 1500ms delay my midnight satellite isp has... I thought it possible that the internet speed anddelay could have been causign issues with at least the autoinstaller on this particular machine, once i had updates etc in. So here I am...
now, everythign actually went great and successfully here, and got server up and all was good so it said (i don't have the game on here to test it out) but while command window was open and i had the 4 options listed, I thought it would be a good idea while it was working, to make another server as a backup, since I haven't learned how all that works yet etc. I also did a backup of that first successful one...
Here's the issue I now have, i ran the new_server command. It installed a new server or so it said, but I have zero idea where, couldn't find it. After stopping my first server and trying to relaunch it, now it wouldn't work. I'm sure there's a way of fixing that but while I have the bandwidth I didnt want to mess with it so I made another new folder and started from scratch. freshly unzipping the isntall files etc etc. That operation is currently installing peqbeta.sql.
Hopefully this new new install will work when I'm done and I can go home, but since I didnt want to uninstall everythign yet again (perl, maria, etc etc) I'm not certain until it's done and running.
I will be hoping to try to fix the first one and figure out where/how it installed the "new_server" in or on top of it so I can either delete that whole ordeal, or repair and keep it for future usage. There has to be a way of doing so, I just don't know where it was isntalling this new server (i didnt change anything from first install and it didnt say to) or what it did to "break" the working one.
Will post when I'm done at library. If anyone knows anythign about the new_server isntall with the freshly made and working/running one, it'd be great, but I think at this point I finally got a setup thatwill completely install, I just have to get it done and not screw it up again afterwards lol.
Once I get this settled and figure out the very basics of editing things, how to add some tools I saw on github etc, and how to create another server without going through the entire process (downloading i nparticular) again, I will be out of everyone's hair for a while lol.
Ok, isntall finished, starting server ...
OK. Everythign looks good there (with default everything, I can change server name and IP etc when I get home np), but I don't have (and didn't in the last successful one) a Backups folder, nor do i have an eqemu_update.pl script anywhere. I think that was part of why I tried making a second server in the first place. If these 2 things are fine and will change later, then great (not sure how to update though in such case) if not I need to find how to get them.
I did dl in preparation last night, the peqbeta_2015-08-12-02_01 files as they are the newest, but I don't want to mess with them until I know for sure what to do with it, but I saw that it installed peqbeta, which I thought was everything. My question is why are only 30 zones launched in this new server and how do i make it launch them all, or do they launch on their own once someone needs them? What can i do with the newer files I have, will they change it, is it even a good idea due to stability?
Sorry this thread is all over the place, I didn't want to make more threads because I'm trying another route. This time it worked, or appears to just with a couple minor caveats so that's good.
Thanks guys
edit: made a backups folder so i coulddo a backup before I leave. the previous backup i ran (on the first workign server) saved itself in a backups folder in yet another install attempt's backup folder (a differently named folder altogether than this one)...ok and done with backup, saved in the correct folder this time. Now to go home, update the config file and try to login.
