HOWTO: Host a 6.0 Server on Windows (Perl Quests enabled!!)

[Malignus Wingnut]

You see the thing is...99% of people who follow my guide get stuck because they DO NOT read every step in detail. I suggest you go back, and read the optional troubleshooting guide to the grant all privileges option... It clearly states what to do.

Make sure you have typed everything properly, be assured there are no typos.

Finally, the lines of code (CD c:\.....) DO NOT apply to everyone. Some people have a newer version of MySQL which installs defaultly to c:\program files\mysql instead of just c:\mysql. Be sure that YOU know where YOUR copies of programs are installed and use your brain and replace lines of code with what suits your configuration.

ok here is my issue i followed everything exactly but when i run eq i am not seeing my server in the list where did i go wrong I'm thinking when i try to login it overwrites the eqhost.txt file is there a way to stop that? I also tried to trick and waitied till i logged in and changed the host file and then i got a timeout error the link that was posted for router setup is dead so if anyone can help i would appreciate it
