Backup question

[ionhsmith]

I have a two part question. I moved my server to a different pc and decided to use AKKA's server pack. I had a lot of the zone complete and a few vendors as well as the diablo loot set up on the server. 1. How do I install my backup from my old server with this package server? 2. How do I install the new diablo loot file so I can basically it set up the way it was on my old pc? Any help is greatly appreciated.

1. Is the old computer an Akka install as well (you somewhat imply you're new to that method beginning on the new computer)

2. What is the name of the database on the old (its in your eqemu_config.xml)

3. What is the name of the database on the new (again, eqemu_config.xml, sorry I'm not much familiar with Akka's setup to know off hand)

4. Are binaries/DB versions the same on the old as are on the new?

You'll backup the DB on the old. Drop the DB on the new. Create a new Dbase by the same name on the new. Source in the backed up DB (from the old). Then move over all your quest files/plugins. Change the LoadMysql.pl to ensure the credentials are correct (if you used DBI). This all assuming the binaries are the same on the old and new, otherwise, update the old first before making the backup of the old DB.

Some missing information. Fill us in on that and a more accurate/precise instruction can be provided Im sure.

If I'm understanding you right you want to remove the database that came with the Akka installer and add yours correct? If this is the case then:
1. open command prompt and type cd /d c:\eqemuserver\backups (or wherever you have your .sql backups from your old database)
2. type: mysql -u root -p eqemu (then hit enter)
3. type: drop database peq; (then hit enter)
4. type: create database peq; (then hit enter)
5. type: use peq; (then hit enter)
4. type: source diablodatabase.sql (or whatever your database save file was called) then hit enter

It should do a bunch of loading and you should see Query OK a lot if it is working right.

1. You are correct.. i have never use the akka installer. The old pc was a manual server creation using the old instructions
2. The old database is a peq database
3. Akkas db is the mariadb which I think is peq also
4. Both servers have the latest updates.
The issue is i do not know how to source in a backup.

Nostalgia... the diablo loot is a second issue. It is a custom install script that used to be installed with perl. Its one of georges tools and it has been updated. I do not know how to install the new version
