New Server

[Genesis]

I think I missed something.

I downloaded and copied the 141 revision, and when I try to run world.exe, I get an Entry Point Not Found error.

The procedure entry point Perl_newXS_flags could not be located in the dynamic link library perl58.dll

I have no idea how to add the entry point to the dll.

Please forgive my newbieness.

yet again im having the same issue Genesis, So i went on my way Searching for an Old DB as i was certin that was the issue.. in my search i finaly found this

http://www.projecteq.net/downloads.php

and downloaded the 0.7.0-1110a DB

Then i went here

http://www.eqemulator.net/download.php

and downloaded the proper Emu win32

how ever 0.7.0-1110a DB is only 4 files i supose its an update possably? . how ever i took the 4 files droped them in to the folder i sent the CVS dl of the DB (c:\peqbd), then after dumping my current DB Via navcat, following the tutorial i recreated the DB.

Click Start->Run-> and type in cmd to bring up your command prompt
Now type in cd\peqdb
You should be at C:\peqdb>

Now type in 

mysql -u root -p
and type in your password (from the Instance Configuration Wizard)

If that is correct, you now need to type in the following commands, pressing enter after each line.

create database peq;
\u peq
source load_player.sql
(wait until this is done. 1~5 min)


Note : Here insted of the peqdb_XXXXx.sql i sourced in load_system.sql

source load_system.sql
(wait until this is done.)

Once that is done, you need to run one more code while your in here,

set password for 'root'@'localhost' = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd');

note in the code
also i never had to reset my PW eather possably cause i had already made a prior peqbd ?possably i will need to later ?

once i did that went to navcat double checked the peqdb and it was all there so i ran my client ..

it works, but as it is, im now running on this current revision XD
..

currently i have tried several times to reinstall fully from scratch useing the most current information. yet this is the only one that has allowed me to finaly log in to my own server XD

p.s it did crash on me. the zone.exe was having errors and crashing how ever i found that through all my unpacking, deleting and moving. i forgot to put the SPELL files back in to the eqemu folder XD , how ever once they were in place it was all working properly


well i know its not a fix but a temporary suplament to get on to a personal server

In a few days ill try a new CVS DL and see if that one works, cause i really want Bots that or Cavedude which perl do you use and why are the core files with or with out bots that you linked there so much bigger than the ones hosted on this site ?

*sigh* I've given this link out to so many people it isn't funny.

Using the newest EQEmu SVN and PEQ CVS are your best bet. They work perfectly.

Size is meaningless for both DB and binaries. DB size changes depending on how it's dumped, binaries change when compiled from system to system.

Thank you Cavedude

i didnt even think to search the forum there for the error since it was the second major stop i came accrost

after seeing that and correcting my compatiblity issues i am now running all the proper current files

on a side note this tutorial which i assume is the easyest to find
http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...ka=ws992mysql5
should be updated it tells how to get the current peq_db via cvs how ever it does not state to use the proper perl version nor does it give links to the proper binaries

how ever, now if i have issues i will search both forums first

thanks again
