setting up a server issue

[mudman1]

Hi All,
Its been years. Years!.. Good to see everything is better than ever.

I used to host a nice little server everything worked. I did the EZ server setup thing did not see any error messages. But when i do server start.bat no windows pop up. nothing? I do not see my server on the list either.

Where / how should i troubleshoot this?

Also I am used to MYSQL stuff eqemu used to have. How do i access the server database now with HeidiSQL. Do i open a new session point it to eqemu dir? sorry its been a while 11 years? I thought I had it now stuff has changed.

Help appreciated.

A couple things you can look into; adding the proper environment variable:

I had trouble with Akk's first repack on a fresh Windows 7 64 bit installation so I tried his updated repack from last December and it worked great:

It's generally a better idea to go with the newest stuff and debug issues than to go with an old one and then have a mess trying to support/upgrade/etc. Just food for thought :)
