You have to be either using caveman's or PEQ's datapack if you used the DRP installer - which I would highly recommend if you're starting out. Without any datapack, your world wouldn't even be populated and buggy (well even more so buggy, heh). You should be using one of those or else that could explain why things are messed up. Most likely, your safe zone points could be messed up. There should be some posts here to fix that.

it is like that on all servers. being a newb and i searched/ checked the wiki and couldnt find a whole lot of info on data packs. i have not downloaded one but would peq be a good one to get? where do i find it? is it under downloads and if so where do i add those files? there were binaries... logs etc. might sound like a stupid question but i cannot find the answers anywhere on the site and im still pretty new. sorry for the hassle. i think the problem with my LD situation is due not having the right data pack.

If you followed the wikki, the links to download everything is there (7.0 Server guide). There's even a link to caveman's datapack (fourth link in that guide) and even datapacks by everyone else for that matter. The newest version of the DRP (Dark Rogue Productions) installer is 3.52, and it has cavedude and PEQ's (luclin beta) database included. Just pick which one you want to install when you have the option to.

caveman's datapack has more zone populated, but is missing quests. PEQ's database is striving for a more retail like datapack and has some quests working.

Seriously though, the links for all of this are in plain sight on the wikki.
7.0 Server setup guide

Useful links.

There shouldn't be any files you extract there until you install the database. And even then, there should be only one folder aside from the MySQL files from the installation. I honestly couldn't tell you what you did wrong. I installed it according to that guide and didn't have any issues what so ever.

You might want to uninstall everything, delete the residue folders and make sure you follow that guide word for word. If you're having issues with the dos window closing, then I'm almost certain you didn't install MySQL correctly.

By funny chance, I hope you're not typing "C:\mysql\bin\mysql -u root peq" with the quotes. :P
