Windows 10 Setup?
Hi, apologies if this is covered somewhere but the search function on the forums removes 10 from "windows 10" search for being to prevalent.
Has anyone gotten the server running successfully on windows 10? Guides I see seem to cover 7 and windows server editions. I feel like I've gotten relatively close following the manual setup guide with 32-bit. However my perl seems to be barfing up a bit and my database seems to be missing some tables. When I run world.exe: Code:
[World Server] Loading server configuration.. One last thing I've noticed is I only end up with a ucs.exe, world.exe, and a zone command window open with the startup bat script. Not sure if there is some prompt that's silently failing but the guide suggested I would have 4. I followed this guide for reference: http://wiki.eqemulator.org/p?Complet...er_Setup_Guide |
If you're just looking to get a server running, I would use this installer instead.
I used it for my initial Windows 10 install before setting up any sort of development environment. It's pretty straightforward and simple. |
Alright, thanks for the reference to the installer I'll check that out.
I got to spend a bit more time on it and finally figured out what was causing the issue with access denied. First, what didn't work: 1. Windows 10 guides for general Access Denied claim folder permissions, but my user which is administrator owns all the folders and subfolder/files I'm working with. 2. Also unclear if it was just an issue with older Perl or 32 vs 64 I installed various versions of 32 bit and 64 bit perl trying ActivePerl and Strawberry Perl with no luck either. 3. I ran a little script just to see if I could get perl to open and write to a file in the same setup and that worked: Code:
use strict; |
Save yourself the headache and stick with the 32-bit build of Perl 5.12.3 for the time being.
I'm pretty sure I was able to get another version to work a long time ago, but a lot has changed since and I've had no such luck. |
Yep, once I found out it wasn't the perl version causing the issue I went back to the recommended 5.12 ActivePerl 32-bit.
I ended up getting things working later last night using the installer you linked. To get that to work though, I needed to setup cpan and cpanm to download JSON::XS module and that itself required some Stability module, but wasn't too hard to figure out. Thanks for the help! |
The installer typically sets everything to work out of the box. The "Complete" windows setup guide is probably 5 years old now. We're working to get rid of the old wiki here soon.
In the meantime I would reference: https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/wiki |
