1. Make sure you followed the instructions in the cvs section for adding mysql binaries to the %path%.
2. Open a DOS prompt
Win98/95/ME - start->run->command
Win2k/XP/2k3 - start->run->cmd
3. Type in the following:
c:
cd "\eqemu\cvs\eqemu\eqemu release"
mysql -u root mysql
4. Inside of mysql, type these commands:
create database eq;
grant all privileges on *.* to test@localhost identified by 'test' with grant option;
quit
5. You should see the following as output from above:
Code:
