Trouble Updating Server (7.0-Current)

[onuris]

Hello all. Just looking for some help on a little problem I am having. I follow the instructions in the Setup Guide to the letter and I can was able to get my server up and running with no problems. Where I am having problems is when I try to update my binaries to the newest version.

I understand that I have to backup my config file then drag and drop the newer files into my EQemu directory and that I have to look at the ChangeLog to get the updates. What I am getting confused on is the ChangeLog.

Do I need to update my DB with all the SQL entries that is says in the ChangeLog or just whats under the most current date? Or do I need to do all the SQL changes from 7.0 up to the the current binaries I am installing? (which is .840)

Example:
If there is no updates under 7/23/2006 then do I not need to do any? Or do I have to make the changes stated under 7/17/2006 and so on down to 7/5/2006?

This is the only thing I am confused on. When I copy the new files to my EQemu folder and do ALL the SQL DB changes from the version changelog my server doesn't work properly. One of the problems is my CMD window for the zone server is just blank. Nothing loads up in it. It will say waiting for WORLD to load before loading ZONE. Once the WORLD loads the window goes blank and goes to sleep. Which in turn makes all my ZONES unvailable when I hit enter world from the character select. I have searched and searched the forums for answers but really haven't found much.

I have done everything except reinstall EQTitanium. Any help would be great.

Thanks
Onuris
