grr....cant make item...

[DeathMan]

OK,I have had it..I have been trying to use that Mango's item editor that came with EQEMu 0.5.0 server thing......but It always says "unable to reach database"...

Look,

DatabaseName = eq
DatabaseUser = *********
DatabasePass = *****
DatabaseHost = 65.40.13.212
EQDirectory = C:\Program Files\EverQuest


I tried to replace DatabaseHost into 'localhost' (without the quotes).But then It says "Item editor has encountered an error and has to close"....and then closes.

If the DB is on the same pc as what you are running this program from, change your external IP to localhost...

[wize_one]

if localhost doesnt work try 127.0.0.1

[DeathMan]

I still get the error. :oops:

[samandhi]

Then just try logging in as UN/ root and no PW...
You may have NOT granted rights to use eq properly..

[DeathMan]

So...like this...


DatabaseName = eq
DatabaseUser = UN/ root
DatabasePass =
DatabaseHost = 127.0.0.1
EQDirectory = C:\Program Files\EverQuest

Right?

[samandhi]

Sorry, without the UN/ thing... just root

[DeathMan]

ah...gotcha.

GRAHG!!!

It states Error: unable to connect to Database.

[samandhi]

then you have a MySQL problem, or there is NO such db called eq.. Did you name it something else? EG... I experiment with both the Myra db and the MW db, so when I:
CREATE DATABASE myra;
I also:
CREATE DATABASE mw;
Now, I have two db's to use, but to connect to either one I must put the proper name in whatever program is making that call... For instance, if I want to play EQ in myra's db, I simply change db.ini to say myra.. and if I want to play on mw db, I just change it to mw in db.ini... The same goes for your item editor, you need to make sure you have the proper name for that db...Did you source a db? that would give you the problem also... If there is NO db to connect to... well you know the rest of that hehe..

make sure mysql\bin is in your path statement

[samandhi]

make sure mysql\bin is in your path statement Oh yeah almost forgot that part thanks Wize... On that same line, make sure that whatever DB you are trying to use is also in your mysql/bin directory......

[DeathMan]

Where can i find a named DB?

I dont have one.

[samandhi]

Look in the worldbuilding forum. It has the only two that are currently being worked on and updated (that I know of). Also contains links to download them.....

[DeathMan]

Got it...I'll Check
