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

[Kakraaz]

is it possible to make a new account on mysql or delete your old one? i used it along time ago and forgot my password...(im on main step 3 on the grant privileges part) and i have already tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it...it saves my acct...

1) Post your error in the ERROR GUIDE...that's what it's for.

Secondly, find my.ini located in c:\windows\, delete this file, run winmysqladmin.exe again and you can pick a new user/pw.

We too. I delete my.ini file, run winmysqladmin.exe again,type a new user/pw,run mysql.exe type
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO myuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'mypw' WITH GRANT OPTION;

but it display:
error 1045:access denied for user: '@localhost' (Using password:NO)

Okay, you guys obviously aren't reading my guide. Note the section about your problem.

Note: If you get an error when typing the grant all privileges line:

1) Make SURE you copied the line of code EXACTLY as written and changed username/password. (you need the ''s(apostrophes) around the password. 'example' not "example" or example.)

2) Try opening a command prompt. Type:

CD C:\mysql\bin

then type

mysql -u root mysql

And proceed to type the grant all privileges command again.


------------------------------------------------

It's clearly stated in a different color, including code examples, on how to fix your problem.

My adivce, READ THE GUIDE THOURGOUGHLY!!

Is there a way to keep it from patching? Evertime I follow the directions step by step it starts patching on me

[Luean]

I get:
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '@localhost' (Using password: NO)
too.

I get the same error when i try "mysql -u root mysql".
Reinstalled it about 5 times.
What could it be?

[Malignus Wingnut]

Probably a typo... please copy + paste from the actual window.

@ BArnett - yes. locate your eqgame.exe file in your everquest folder. remember the path name (something like "c:\program files\sony\everquest trilogy\eqgame.exe")

Make a shortcut to this file, and in the target line, make sure the target is:

"C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest Trilogy\eqgame.exe" patchme

NOTE: your folders may be different, but still, put the target in quotes, and then press the spacebar once after the end quote and add "patchme" - make sure there are no extra spaces and that the patchme is outside of the quotes. this will now skip the patcher.
