Windows Server Installer :: Modular & Scripted

[Fridgecritter]

This runs so smoothly it makes me want to start another server. But alas, I have no time.

[fault]

Finally back.

So if i get this right, since my w2012 has plesk(so mysql etc is already installed) ill have to set up the server the old fashioned way?


right thread this time haha

Just wanted to say thank you Akkadius for all the effort on this project. Your installer is a thing of beauty. Could not be simpler. I also wanted to thank Uleat for his work on the bots which gave me everything I needed to get the bots up and running after your installer set things up. It took a little time, but all of the issues I had were not reading every word when it came to compiling the bot exe's and needing to keep looking to find the answers. Thank you to all who work on the developement of this project.

I tried out the installer - works great. Awesome work Akka!

Edit: My issue was i'm stupid and when I edited the DB password in the eqemu_config.xml I didn't edit it everywhere else as well :P

[Esildor]

Fingered it out again :P

Great work x2 Akka !

I have the server on a 32 bit windows 7 laptop using a wifi connection. I had to dl perl 32 bit and changed the name to the 64 bit file and your prog worked great after that!!!! The problem I am having now is the online connect works just the lan does not connect. I have the client on a win 10 system but I have ran it on a windows 7 system using VM workstation 11. its not seeing the the server accost the lan . In the server eqemu_config.xml file I have tried leaving 127.0.0.1 and I have tried replacing it with the server laptops ip address. I have been putting the servers ip. Any thoughts on this and has any of the log in tools like MiniLogin that might help with this. I have been searching and trying things for 2 weeks.

Only issue I'm running into with it; it gets to '[Saved] :: t_stop_server.bat' and doesn't progress past there. It's downloaded everything else, but it gets to that part and hasn't moved in an hour.

Just re-run the installer, a web request has probably become hung.

It should skip program installations and just go through a bunch of the other routines again, no big deal.

Did and same thing, except this time it's saying everything else is updated, but still does this. -- Windows 8 x64, should add, I guess.

Delete eqemu_update.pl and re-run the installer

[Nerdgasm]

EDIT 2: Deleted the eqemu_update.pl and re-ran (using admin, course)

Grabbed the binaries;

Extracted the maps;

Downloaded the OP Codes;

Fetched the Quest plugins//extracted them; (No plugin updates found//No quest updates found)

Fetched the LUA Modules//extract them; (No LUA updates found)

Grabbed the .dll//.bat files

and stopped again.

--Got work in the morning I'll let it sit here through the night and check on it in the morning, if it doesn't work I'll post again.--

Still stuck at the same place.

Think I found the issue in the script actually, was recently changed.

Delete eqemu_update.pl and start again, or, if you can run eqemu_update.pl standalone, hit option 20 to refetch a clean version of the script

[Akkadius]

Tested a clean install after making these script changes and everything works flawlessly.

Those t-start/stop files, etc from that option, the update script comes to a halt when
choosing to download those. It just hangs there forever, without going back to the
script menu.
I never worried about it, I use my own start/stop scripts but just wanted to check them
out anyways.
