I also tried to trick and waitied till i logged in and changed the host file and then i got a timeout error the link that was posted for router setup is dead so if anyone can help i would appreciate it

I used the Db from there and have my server up. wasnt to bad but I cant zone when I try it just sends me back to start point. It doesnt save my items or my Char levels. And it didnt seem to load any spells or NPC I can spawn ... other than that it is working great . This setup guild was fast and easy even for a novice wanting to learn more about SQl

I wouldn't post here but the link to the Error thread gives me a 404 error, so here it is.

I have mysql installed (though it's irrelevant at this point.)
I have Perl 5.8.2 installed
I have NMAKE.exe in c:\perl\bin

I open up the command prompt and type in perl -MCPAN -e shell.
It tells me some junk and i tell it no to the manual configuration.

It does some more stuff and then leaves me at cpan> for a prompt.

so I type in install IO::Scalar, works great til the end...

Anyone have any ideas, please? Is there a way to get rid of the @ before the C:\perl\bin\perl.exe?

Thanks in advance


--- Edit: I tried it on my windows xp pro machine and it worked flawlessly. Am I correct in assuming this doesn't work for windows 98? /grin The code above was from my 98 machine.

BTW, hellkat you can make eqhost read only. just right click, properties, check Read only and click apply.

[JerHoo]

Okay i see my server on the list and its unlocked.. but, when i try to log into it... it gives me error 1017:cannot login to the everquest server. You may need to re-run the patch update ect... but when i try to log into other servers same verison it works any ideas?

[leonskennedy]

Yeah, I cant make it work.

On the 'grant all options' part, It says

Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 17 to server version: 4.0.24-nt

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO ______@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '_____' WITH GRANT OPTION;
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '@localhost' (Using password: NO)
mysql>


Rest assured my mysql is in c:\mysql\bin and thats what i put. Any help?

[sysadmin]

try 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost

[leonskennedy]

Its still saying the same thing... :-(

[Cutter]

here is what i did... instead of typing all those commands..

i downloaded a program called front mysql

i use it alot to edit my database anyways..

once you get it launched...
you can goto users.. right click on the name
properties.. and you can edit the permissions .. which would include "grant"

this works..

everything you do in a command prompt you can do with this program...

just a thought and hope it helps out.. i just found this much easier to work with and this is how i got by that annoying error message

Secondly, find my.ini located in c:\windows\, delete this file, run winmysqladmin.exe again and you can pick a new user/pw.

We too. I delete my.ini file, run winmysqladmin.exe again,type a new user/pw,run mysql.exe type
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO myuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'mypw' WITH GRANT OPTION;

but it display:
error 1045:access denied for user: '@localhost' (Using password:NO)

[Malignus Wingnut]

Okay, you guys obviously aren't reading my guide. Note the section about your problem.

Note: If you get an error when typing the grant all privileges line:

1) Make SURE you copied the line of code EXACTLY as written and changed username/password. (you need the ''s(apostrophes) around the password. 'example' not "example" or example.)

2) Try opening a command prompt. Type:

CD C:\mysql\bin

then type

mysql -u root mysql

And proceed to type the grant all privileges command again.


------------------------------------------------

It's clearly stated in a different color, including code examples, on how to fix your problem.

My adivce, READ THE GUIDE THOURGOUGHLY!!

[BArnett]

Is there a way to keep it from patching? Evertime I follow the directions step by step it starts patching on me

[Luean]

I get:
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '@localhost' (Using password: NO)
too.

I get the same error when i try "mysql -u root mysql".
Reinstalled it about 5 times.
What could it be?
