ooohh.. I see.. I pulled up MariaDB in win search just to make sure and I see alot of x64 with it.. opps.. haha. Guess that might be where my issue is?

If you have both installed..

..this message will appear in the CMake setup: https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/blob...Lists.txt#L136

Make sure that you select MariaDB even if you're using MySQL.

There have been issues using the MySQL api.

The MariaDB api is compatible with MySQL and doesn't have the same problems.

Ok, so how do I select MariaDB? lol. Forgive me.. hahah

Ah, nm.. I see it.. I swear Im a blonde sometimes haha

When you run CMake and all of the settings are in red:

That line of text from my last post should be in the somewhere.

Just select MariaDB in its drop-down box.

Well I'll be damned.. that did it.. lmao

You ROCK my friend. Thank you very much! Thanks everyone that threw some info in there and for all your hard work on here. You are all awesome.

Oh, 1 more question, if I make changes to the zone file, do I need to replace any other exe files besides the zone one in my server folder?

Or is it all the files in the debug folder? I honestly dont remember, lol

It depends on your build type where your files are dumped.


I would do a Build all after making any changes.

If (and only if) one project builds, you can probably get away with only replacing that bin - such as zone.exe.

I would replace the pdb file too for debug info.


In VS, you can do a Clean, then Build .. that's the same as just clicking Rebuild.

But, if you only do a Build, it will use existing obj files (pre-compiled code chunks) and it will be a lot faster.

You may, on occasion run into an issue with LNK errors when doing this..which can be resolved by doing a Clean, then Build.

That usually only happens when you have something declared in the obj files .. but, somehow remove its definition - very rare, though.

awesome, I really appreciate the info. Gonna back up my server files just in case lol. I tend to screw things up quite more often than not, haha.
