Creating server help.

[Mentole]

I'm new to this and am trying to create a home server for me and a few friends, and am having a hard time finding out how. Everywhere I look are broken links or very little help.

I know very little of setting up a server, and I am running windows 7 64bit. I would appreciate any help I can get.

This guide isn't perfect, but most of the info is good:

Other than that, there is some good info around the wiki too.

Though, I think you may have a hard time trying to get your server going on Windows 7 64bit. I have heard of people having issues on Windows 7 as well as other 64bit OS's, so combining the 2 should make it a bit of a challenge.

yeah found it thanks, the first time I saw it I saw the first link I clicked didn't work so I thought it was out dated like the others. When I went back I found that was the only link that didn't work and realized I didn't need it anyway.

Downloading maps now, hope it works.

well one problem I am having is it can't find these files LIBMYSQL.dll and perl58.dll and can't seem to find them anywhere.

Well got finished and nothing works missing perl58.dll
load of security library EQEmuAuthCrypto failed
worldserver.connect failed

Can't seem to figure this out any help would be appriciated.

Also I used this guide http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=ValesEQ
