Creating Database peq;

[Havocide]

Having a bit of a problem getting this DB implanted in mysql. I am using mysql 5.0. When i open up the CMD window and cd\ to my D: root. I type as follows D:mysql "User" "password" and it brings up the Options list for mysql. But i don't get past this. I tried to D:create database peq and it says " create is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I'm not sure what to do at this point. Any help with this would be greatly appriciated.

Could really use some help with this. I have followed the Wikka setup guide http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...=ws70845mysql5 from the start and have double checked all the versions of the programs needed and everything up to creating database looks like I'm on the right track but lack the database install . Anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

I am not so sure we should be posting short-hand in our Wiki guides, so maybe I'll change that later. The proper command is:

C:> mysql -u root -p
Password:

^ then enter your password at that prompt.

You should now be in a prompt like:

mysql>

At that prompt, you can do those commands \u peq

Or, go long hand, and enter:

mysql> create database peq;
mysql> use peq;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON peq.* TO eq@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'eq' WITH GRANT OPTION;
mysql> flush privileges;
mysql> source load_empty_users.sql;
mysql> source load_system.sql;

You can also try other Wiki articles that are not specific to your SQL version, they sometimes offer missing bits or clarification of syntax.

Not working. I cant even access the mysql>

[mickey3506]

under your start menu you should have a mysql and in it there should be a mysql commandline and you can enter that way

did you do this?

SET PASSWORD FOR eq@localhost = OLD_PASSWORD('eq');

[Kayot]

You did check add path to bin right?

[Darkonig]

did you do this?

Code:
SET PASSWORD FOR eq@localhost = OLD_PASSWORD('eq');

That is only needed if you are converting a database from 4.x not for loading up a fresh database in 5.x from a dump. Did not use this command on my install and it works great.

I don't understand what you mean? this has nothing to do with an EqEmu MySql database - this is so MySql 5x will be able to read older MySql 4x client-user method of presenting a password;
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/old-client.html
The client being EqEmu and not a specific databse.

Sorry for the hijack, had not seen that before. Looked at the page you listed and that is for accessing a 5.1 database from a client below 4.1, not for 5.0 which is what I'm using (5.0.27) which is why I didn't need it.

But my reason for why it was needed was incorrect.

What they mean is, EqEmu is what uses the old MySql 4x password method for accessing the MySql 5x DB . this fix is so MySql 5 will accept passwords from EqEmu. Why you didn't need it is, what's surprizing - but as long as it works, who cares? I just suggested that option because it is a common mistake, so he'll know, just incase.
