Hi, I'm looking for a 2012 updated guide on how to start a server up.

[oslander]

Are there anything recent step by step guides to starting a public server? I personally have fooled around with programs like RPG maker 2000, XP, VX and have created some games from scratch. I have limited program knowledge but I get the basics of variables and everything. I just need a nudge in the right direction so I can get the basics down and actually make changes and have my own server to mess with.

I know there are guides out there but some of these seem rather old.


Thanks, and I love this place.

From the stickies 3 posts up from yours:

Worked for me.

The Guide relates to specific Versions and I can't find those at
the named URLs:

---------------------------------------------------
For Perl, go here - (I use 5.1 - 1007 version)
http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads

For MySQL, go here - (scroll down the page to see downloads,I use 5.1.54 version)
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html
---------------------------------------------------

Do newer Versions work? Can find only 5.14.2.1205 Perl there and
a 5.1.61 MYSQL.

I tried the old Guides with 5.0 sql and perl 5.10.0.1004 but couldn't get
it running. Since I'm a total noob with this stuff I really want to follow
a Guide point by point and so I don't want to start with the wrong
Versions. I already installed and deinstalled several different Versions from perl and wanna do it right this time.


I followed the guide except for the LoginServer part, I use Minilogin instead since its easier to set up. Anyways here is the combination of software I used.

Win XP 32bit
MySQL 5.1.60 Essentials
Perl 5.12 (I had to change the two pragma lines that said perl510.lib to perl512.lib)
Zlib 1.2.5

Any other working combinations would be appreciated. I have not tried MySQL 5.5 or Perl 5.14 on 32bit yet.

Any Info?

The perl link has 5.12 on it. The mysql link has 5.1.61 but it will work. I am using the software listed. Other than that I followed the guide and it worked fine.

What? I'm pretty sure this thread has nothing to do with anything other than queryserv and something that has changed in the source causing the problems, not version differences in software that the end-users may have.
