help with mysql 3.23.53

[Geniaan]

Hey, i just downloaded mysql 3.23.53 and tried to create a database and all that pops up is the flush commands. Ive tried reinstalling a few times and still nothing. I had the eqemu working before with a different version of mysql. Oh, im using Windows Me p4 1400mhz 128mb ram. Thanks

Check what is different from the posted screen shot. Is your stop light green? Perhaps try this http://forums.eqemu.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1169 although I thought winmysqladmin was using the root login...

I don't know what all these people are doing that they aren't seeing the option to create a database. If someone figures it out, please post it. I know there are other ways around this problem, but lets please get a solution for this.

If you ever run into this problem, just do
it manually, it's not hard..

open a command window (cmd)

then,
cd c:\mysql\bin
mysqladmin create eq

Boom, you now have an eq database. Source in your files per the readme...

Tried the grant all privileges and it did the 1 row affected but still nowhere to create database.

Now world boots up without errors but boot5zones get error in emusharemem.dll

What's the error message you're getting now?

I had the same problems when creating the database. Here's a quick HowTo for mysql.

Start with the README file steps.. when you get to the part about setting up the database, follow steps below:

Use Winmysyqladmin.exe to create the name/password, then minimize it.

Copy db.sql and dbupdate.sql to your c:\mysql\bin directory. (provided you installed mysql in the default location)

Run mysql.exe. Type:

create database eq; [Enter]
use eq; [Enter]
source db.sql; [Enter]
source dbupdate.sql; [Enter]

Here is a good place to install the 3.6 addon and the 3.9 update if you're going to as well while you're at it. When done, type:

exit [Enter]

Continue from here with the README steps.

I'm getting the same error with EMuShareMem.dll . Everything else loads fine, but once boot5zones begins, I get a "zone.exe" error, and the tech report refers to EMuShareMem.dll. Each zone window shuts down with this error...

WinXP pro, AthTbird1400, 512, 100gb, Audigy, Radeon8k

What's different, Lurker, is when you right click to get the menu you show in the screen shot, there are only the 4 flush options, the create database option does not appear no matter if you right click on your host name or anywhere else in the window. I worked around it by doing it from the mysql command line, as I posted above. :(

Got my server up and running yesterday and having a blast checking it all out.. woohoo!

I had the same issues that are listed here with the zone servers crashing with the windows error... until... the newest release of the emu was released and I installed it clean, updated my client, sourced db.sql, dbupdate.sql, installed the 3.6 and 3.9 addon dbases.. Runs like a dream now. Perhaps this info will be of a slight bit of use. I do agree that its a database issue of some sort.

Same ol same ol here....

looks like it's having trouble loading NPC types... I uninstalled, reinstalled fresh, re sourced everything to a "T" and still same error =-\

All you gotta do is download the db.sql addon then source it and itll fix it
