OK, banged my head against this long enough...

Very nice Klinzhai! I will have to give this a try.

When I try to type in the IO::Scalar command, it says it can't the method IO in the Scalar package. Also when I typed in perl -MCPAN -e shell it did NOT ask about autoconfig, it asked about manual config.

Also, I went on ahead in the hopes that this will work. When trying to use MySqlcc, where is this "user adminstration" you want us to right click? I can't find it anywhere on the screen or in the menus.

Sorry... was watching a movie with my wife... just an FYI: Brokeback Mountain, while acclaimed by many, lacks good storytelling and while many good tragic love stories will leave you wanting to cry, BB Mtn leaves you going "There was nothing special about that movie..." Save your time and don't see it if you haven't already.

When you go into MySQLCC, you'll see your connection name (localhost if you named it that), then underneath there you'll see the 'Databases' container, 'Server Administration' container and 'User Administration' container. You can also simply select it and then click on the 'New User' button (looks like a head with a little spark at the crown). If you create the 'eq' user before you run the install, it will automatically grant the rights on the db. Otherwise, you can go into the properties for the 'eq' user, select (checkbox) on the 'eq' database, then choose 'All Privileges' on the left-hand side.

Sorry about the autoconfig/manual miscommunication, I was going by someone else's notes about that (from the 6.4 install guide I think) and apparently forgot that it was manual that it asked about (just checked the instructions and it does say manual).

"By george he's got it!" Now titanium edition works with minilogin. And rather than reinstalling everything all you have to do is add the minilogin logintype entry ( update variables set value = 'minilogin' where varname='LoginType'; ) and the account info. works for logging in from the same comp and logging in from a dif comp, or more than one dif comp at the same time. Good work klinzhai and thank you!

P.S. might I suggest downloading a trial of Navicat from http://www.navicat.com/ for database editting, works great.

[klinzhai]

Thanks.

I figured that the 1 database command *might* do it. It's possible that something else might be causing the whole issue for a particular user, so it's better to be safe and start a bit more 'fresh', as it were and eliminate any other potential issues.

I think that there are still issues with quests, but think that's related to perl and when I get that worked out, I'll add in those changes and maybe they'll add it into the Wiki, so that we're not all running around blind (like I think we all are right now ).

The perl and MySQL sections should be reversed if you're having problems. Also, if you're having problems (lots of errors) in the perl section, go to:

http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...owsServerGuide

Follow the directions there for Perl installation. Some computers seem to work with that, while others work with what I outlined in the instructions earlier. Not completely sure why yet and it's way too late and I'm otherwise busy, so I can't run through and find out why right now.

Howdy,

I've been struggling to get a 7.0 server up a running for most of this week. I've tried several different install methods including the one you post one page back.

All methods result in the same thing eventually. When a client logs in and selects the server to play on, in the server window an error pops up.

"Unknown Packet: .4455296 [16.64.89.0:16->0.0.0.0:0]
[OpCode 0x0003 ,OP_Unknkown. Size=11]
00000: 00 06 00 00 00 00 00 00 - 00 00 00"

I can't connect local or have someone outside connect either. Results are the same in either case. I am able to get onto any of the public servers without any issues with my client and so can my external person helping me test.

We have tried 7.0 clients, 6.2 clients.
We have tried 7.0 server
We have tried 6.6 server

I really don't have a good idea on what to try from here. Any suggestions?
