Guide itself is good but there are holes.
- There is no mention of creating a user for SQL.
- Outdated information forces people to look elsewhere for files, those files may or may not work properly (i.e. maps and quests, I ended up using eqemu_update.pl to get them, but what are all those other options and which are safe to use?)
- After installing XAMPP, you have to launch it and start MySQL, it does not (by default) run automatically. Obviously must be done before executing any sql commands.
I fixed the cannot continue error thanks to these forums, but I'm getting path does not exist errors all over the place now. Not sure how far back in the install I have to go to resolve them.
Comments are most welcome and would be appreciated.
