load_13thfloor_items.pl

[mrea]

Am I not using this correctly?

I uninstalled Perl and all of that because I'm trying to set it up on another computer so I don't remember the exact errors (something like "unable to open config eq" where eq is the database name).

I type in perl load_13thfloor_items.pl -d [database] -u [username] -p [password] <items.txt

Will not work..

That command looks good. Brackets should not be included when you're actually typing it though. I'd just verify your DB name was typed correctly and try again.

Make sure all your PERL installation steps were followed and the DBI, DBD, Scalar items loaded too.

*EDIT* Also make sure you're typing it from the C:\Perl directory in your command prompt

you might want to try it like this

C:\Perl>perl load_13thfloor_items.pl -d db -u your_name -p your_pass -h localhost<items.txt

i'm only new myself but i think you might need to source in itemtableschanges.sql as well, it takes me a while to stuff around and get 13thfloor to load to but thats what worked for me.
