Problem with Mysql while making server
 
I am trying to set up my own LAN server, and I am following the guide at http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...kka=ws1129r222. I am at the step where it says filling up database with info, but I can't get past it. At the part where it says to type in create database peq;
use peq;
source load_player.sql;
and
source peqdb_1129Rev233.sql;
I will always get an error on the source parts saying it can't find them. I think this might be because when it says open the folder you downloaded PEB-DB to using a command prompt, I don't know what it means by that. I found the folder with all of that stuff, but it still says it can't find it when i type it into mysql.
Also, when it says type in mysql -u root -p, where am i supposed to actually type that in? I just opened up mysql manually, which is probably also part of the problem.
Can anyone help me out with this?

Can you post the details of how you solved your problem for other users (like myself) who are having similar issues?

I typed 'cmd.exe' in 'run' on the start menu. Then you have to cd over to the folder you downloaded the database stuff to. In my case I had to type 'cd C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\My Documents\PEQ-DB\peq_db' but you will have to cd to whatever folder the file you unzipped was in. Then you can do the source stuff and it should work fine.

Ah, thanks, but my problem was something different (though I did just figure it out). I'm running Vista, and each time I tried running the "mysql -u root -p" command, it wouldn't recognize mysql as a valid command. I had to look up how to add a path to Vista to recognize 'mysql' as a valid command and then it worked.
