server setup help

[Thebardmask]

OK first, I'm sort of new to setting up a server, i set one up ages ago, but now all the wiki links and GitHub links have changed. the analytics. Akkadius link doesn't work on the setup wiki. i managed to find Akkadius's installer files but the bat wont run even when i run as administrator, it just immediately closes. i found the source code on the eqemu server GitHub, but i cant find any wiki or how to to setup the server after compiling. i don't know what extra files are needed after compiling, except map files, database, and quest files but i don't know where to put them, and i cant find a good database to download, the only one i can find is the daily dump on this forum but the link of course doesn't work.
so in short all i have is the compiled server source, map files and quest files i don't know where to put and that's it, nothing else. please at least give me a link to a comprehensive how to with working links please.

For ref: The wiki link has changed on the homepage..but, the installer still points to the old host.

thats the akkadius link that doesnt work, it just loads forever then eventually i get a cant connect page

[Thebardmask]

the link on that page is - analytics.akkadius.com/eqemu_installer_files.zip

Gitbook can be hard on browsers..I was able to load the page and click the link, however.

The link that I referred to above as being defunct is under the heading 'Server Installers.'

Just a trivial observation

if your talking about the basic server install windows, with the link - analytics.akkadius.com/eqemu_installer_files.zip i cant connect to that site it loads for 4-5 mins then says cant connect

dont get me wrong, i can connect to the gitbook and view the webpages there just cant open the link to akkadius's installer files that are linked on the basic server install for windows page, but thats not the problem anymore. ive managed to find his installer files on github. i downloaded it but the bat wont run, ive even found the source code on the eqemu/server github page and built it successfully with zero errors and the exes wont open either, not even an error or log anywhere to tell me what i need or what ive done wrong. i have the files i just cant run them, im on windows 10 if that helps any, i know windows 10 has a lot of problems running older programs of any kind.

ok i think i may have found out that my current user on windows is corrupted, i cant open any form of bat or even use command prompt even as administrator, so ill make a new user and ill try again, hopefully with success.

ok thats wierd, i made a new user and can finaly run bat files, and im at a hotel and now i can connect to the analytics.akkadius website now so ive finally downloaded the install files zip and so far its installing now i will update if it is successful or not. i guess all i needed to do was make a new user on windows 10 and use different wifi, agian wierd
