Server problems

[InsaneWallaby]

Toldya them parenthesis were the problem. Anywho, I have 256 SDRAM on my server, and it runs peachy, even if I'm doing Java programming (which, as we all know, chews through memory with a compiler) while waiting to regen. Yeah, my RAM sucks; it's not even DDR, and now they've got DDR2 and whatnot...accepting RAM donations, no live animals please =P...but seriously, my computer has a faster processor than that, but it is pretty crappy when it comes to RAM. Try the hilted version of the server out if you haven't. My server failed to work until I used it.

Have you updated before? What version EQEMU did you have before you updated? did you read the changelogs and add sourced the lines mentioned in them?

I was using 3.52 that comes with the EQEmuServerPack. i have not updated before. I did try adding the Sourced line and that did not work, they were accepted just didnt help my problem. i just did a clean instal and its running fine. Im kinda hesitant to update it again incase i cant get it working again. but if you have any help i will definatly try it.
thanks

I think there's two changelogs that require lines sourced into the SQL database. It might have been that you need to re-boot the machine for changes from the database to take effect.
You should keep trying, the newest binaries have many improvements. The new stuff should work fine. before you do this, don't forget to back up your "eqemu_config_xml" file, as the new binarie package will over write what you have.
Also, if you are editing loots, npc's and such, you should download "MySQL Administrator" from the MySQL site and have a "back-up plan" for your database. It's already saved me from my "blunders" many times.

Hey thanks for the quick replies. i will look into this tomorrow night and keep you updated. I never rebooted my machine before trying to log on so that might be it.
as for my database i started working on it this week and forgot to back it up..oh well. i only had a few ornate and epic merchants. so i didnt lose much that i cant redo quickly.
