Creating a lan server-Confusion!

[CrimsonEdge]

Some background before I go on. This is my first time messing with MySQL and perl, so I'm pretty much all over the place.

I've been following the directions pretty dead on from http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...indowsServer70 and I'm at the part where I'm supposed to edit the eqemu_config.xml . I installed both cavemans and the PEQ database. I open the .xml file and the following pops up.

The XML page cannot be displayed

Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

Expecting whitespace or '?'. Error processing resource 'file:///C:/EQEmu/eqemu_config.xml'. Line 1, Position 20

<?xml version="1.0">

Eh?

What I'm trying to do is set up a lan server for a group of friends. I want to act as a sort of lame D&D GM and set up quests and the like for this group of friends to complete. You know, clearing something like CB and getting XP, or killing a certain badguy and handing out a piece of loot for everyone.

Eventually, I want to make some specialized items for my buds, but that's a long ways down the line.

I'm absolutely clueless as to what I'm supposed to do. I followed the directions directly and they didn't direct me in the right direction. Heeelp.

That guide is fairly old, try to follow the newest one to get your server going, then switch over and follow the MiniLogin guide to set up a LAN type server. If you can hold off until tommorw night, I will have my guide up in PDF with screenies, but the best part is it will have the minilogin information to set up with no hassles.

Thanks a ton man. I'm going to just start from scratch. I'm re-downloading all the required files and I'll have at it tomorrow night.

Yeah, techguy's 992 build guide is quite nice. I've set up emu servers several times over now, but his guide is still very easy to follow.

Allright, I'm stuck (again) at a different part. When trying to get the PEQ DB stuff using WinCVS I get an odd error.

TCL or Python are not available, shell is disabled

cvs -d : pserver:anonymous@eqemuquests.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/eqemuquests checkout -P -- peq_dp (in directory C:\peqdb)

cvs checkout: Empty password used - try 'cvs login' with a real password

cvs checkout: cwd=C:\peqdb ,current=C:\peqdb

cvs server: cannot find module `peq_dp' - ignored

cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules

***** CVS exited normally with code 1 *****

Note there is no space between the : and the p in the second line. I added the space so it wouldn't make this face :p.

I've tried several things, including starting from scratch and I get the same thing each time.

should be peq_db

peq_db not peq_dp

I think that's your problem.

Edit: Curse you, jimbabwe. :p
