I installed Wamp which comes with MySQL 5.5, PHP, and Apache (The apache and PHP I'm using for PEQ Editor) and so far it works great with 5.5.
Are you using Windows 7?
Make sure you have the most current PEQDB files. Mine was Rev2214 I think.
I placed mine in a folder on my desktop.
If your using windows 7 you can "hold shift" then right click on the folder then click on Command prompt. That will open you command prompt on that folder. In the command prompt type this:
you will see MqSQL start up and ask for a "password:"
Enter your password then you will see this:
Then type your peq database name like this:
Then it should say changed to peq or using peq or something like that.
then:
Code:
source peqdb_rev2214.sql
then
source load_player.sql
and/if
load_bots.sql
the rest are the update files in your "EQEmu\util\sql" folder
any of the numbers higher then your rev are updates and you can use you 3rd party program to source them in real fast. Also check out Navicat. I tend to use it more then Heidi though I use both of them I like Navicat much better.
I didn't use the Bot release so never sourced it in. and also make sure the peqdb_rev sql file is in the same folder as the other sql files you just downloaded.
as long as you have the most resent things you shouldn't have a problem.
