Starting a Server

[AdrianD]

I appreciate that. I will definitely give that a shot.

I'm stuck at the security settings for MySQL. Since I reinstalled MySQL it remembered my old PW which I can't find. I would post a pic but I'm not sure how.

After step 5 of the SQL install, it asks to reconfigure or remove the instance before step 6. I imagine this is because it was previously installed. I will choose to remove this and see what happens when I install it again.

UPDATE: After uninstall... Same step, slightly different, just like the steps in the guide but... it's asking me for a current password. What would that be?

UPDATE:

'Step 3: Getting and compiling the C++ source code

#6 - unzip the dependencies'

? what dependencies? where are they? the guide needs to be specific, especially for dummies...

Step 3:

'Click on Configure.

In the next dialogue that says 'Specify the generator for this project', select 'Visual Studio 11'. Click on Finish.

Some messages should appear in the lower window with hopefully no errors.'

? - Guess what, there were errors; The guide doesn't say what to do if there are errors - "error in configuration process, project files may be invalid"

from cmakeerror - The imported project "C:\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" was not found. Confirm that the path in the <Import> declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.

I also noticed in CMake the ' CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX c:/program files (x86)/EQEmu ' doesn't exist when I look for it in windows explorer.

I'm definitely stopping here until I get some help.

Please assist with these steps if you have any knowledge.

Bumped for editing.

Just stop.

If you can't compile this, which is easier than logging into the game, you shouldn't run a server.

Use google, common sense, and intelligence.

I know exactly what you're doing wrong, it's around here on the forums.

Search is your friend.

That helped how?

It didn't.

If you have some knowledge that I don't, you should share it or stfu.

I've done quite a bit of searching here and elsewhere so I... ask the community!

What a novel idea!

If you're having issues getting the mysql root password, you can follow this guide to reset it.

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0...rmissions.html

If you've downloaded everything and can't find dependencies you probably just need to have a good look through everything you've downloaded.


And don't worry about Maze, working on a helpdesk makes some people grumpy and unhelpful . If you're clear enough about where you're having trouble you should be able to get help here. It helps if you reference the guide you're using, and the discrete steps you've taken prior to getting stuck.

I'm still stuck on the installation of MYSQL 5.1.

I get to the very last step and hit execute and nothing happens.

' MSQL Server Instance Configuration Wizard (Not Responding) '

I followed everything up to that point and found my old PW.
