Question.. again

[Angelishes]

i followed <HOWTO: Setup an EQEmu server as of 03/18/04> tutorial and set up everything like it said even asked and double checked to make sure i filled it in right no one said it was wrong so im on to the next thing..

3. Run MySQL.bat and type:

Code:
grant all privileges on *.* to username@localhost identified by 'password' with grant option;


(replace username/password with your winmysqladmin username//password)

Press Enter....type:

Code:
create database eq;


Press Enter....type:

Code:
use eq;


Press Enter....type:

Code:
source MW055_alpha_02.sql;


Lots of stuff should fly by with no errors. Type:

Code:
quit

i tryed this and it just stayed a text document so i couldnt really run it and give it commands like it said soo what am i doing wrong ot not doing?

Problom after that i tryed to run World.exe and it pops up and just closed on me and dosnt run anything what does that mean.. i dont have content for it to load? or was that cause of the problom above.. if i need files to make it load the world cause somone point them to me and tell me where exaclly they go..

Right before this line:

grant all privileges on *.* to username@localhost identified by 'password' with grant option;

just open up a dos command and type the following THEN type the above line.... NOTE that some of that has to be in caps...

cd c:/mysql/bin
mysql -u root mysql
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO username@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION;
CREATE DATABASE eq;
USE eq;
source MW055_alpha_02.sql;
quit

I am not sure what you mean by

i tryed this and it just stayed a text document so i couldnt really run it and give it commands like it said soo what am i doing wrong ot not doing?

but if you did this right you should be set up with an EQEMu DB...

ok ill try to explain alittle better it says to

[quote]2. Right-click the desktop, go to New > Text file, name it MySQL.bat, edit it to include this and then save it.

[quote]cd\mysql\bin
mysql -u root mysql

I did that and saved it as MySQL.bat and left it on my desktop for now cause it didnt tell me what to do with it..

then it says..

[quote]3. Run MySQL.bat and type:

grant all privileges on *.* to username@localhost identified by 'password' with grant option;

I see what you are saying... You will need to either include this in your .bat file:

c:/windows/command

OR you will need to run this .bat file while in a dos window (by saying you will need to run this, that means you will need to locate the file from the dos window <ie.. type in cd c:/saved files/mysql.bat. if that is the location of the file> and run it by typing in its name) The best thing to do if you are to keep use this method is to put the file in c:/documents and settings/your username (assuming you are running windowsxp). What this does is, when you first open your dos window, you can simply type in mysql.bat and it will take you right into mysql and ready for you to enter information... The file is doing what you told it to do when you run it, but it is NOT staying open for you to type anything because you DIDNT tell it to keep a dos command window open....

So either have dos window already running, or include the dos command window included in your .bat file... Hope this clarifies it for you....
