Windows Server Installer :: Modular & Scripted

[sculler]

I did use the installer.

Sorry I took over Eriviyn and one of the scripts wasn't working with the plugin::LoadMySql call so I was thinking DBI wasn't installed.

I apologize, it seems it's another issue altogether. DBI is definitely installed.

Tried the install tonight and everything went fine except for Database install. It installed the DB software fine but failed to setup or install the actual database. I check for a database with HeidiSQL and none show.

Did you previously install another database engine? This could be where your problem lies as its not a true clean install.

Open CMD

Type:

echo %path%

Paste the contents in a code block here

I had a previous install that I removed including MySQL and Perl... I have Visual Studio 2013 installed which installs Microsoft SQL server... Could that be the cause of it??

It's the xamp\mysql in your path, just because you uninstall it doesn't mean it is removed from system path.

Remove it and try again.

Yeah I just uninstalled everything again and cleared the path of all uninstalled programs and did a full reinstall and it worked flawlessly this time...
Appreciate the help.

Now that I have it all working I am loath to modify anything that may break it, but...

Is it possible to make Mercs and/or Bots work on this install?
I haven't really explored the install yet to see what is available but I didn't see any Bot's entries in the database and the merc vendors didn't seem to be responding.

That is beyond the scope of the installer and there is no automagic configuration for those currently. You'll need to look into enabling them through whatever resources you can find on the forums. Try posting in a different thread and people can help you there

Removed since Akka beat me to it...

Is it possible to do database updates in this build?

When I try using the eqemu_update.pl script, multiple options say there's no database present.

Install yesterday on windows server 2008 32bit. seemed to work fine after replacing mariaDB with the 32bit version.

Akkadius,

One suggestion if I may. This should include XAMPP and the PEQ editor.

Reason: Since this installs and configures everything for you, it is a PITA trying to configure PHP and Apache for a separate MySQL install that you have to find config info for. Since you're using the PEQ database and almost everyone agrees that the PEQ editor (or your EoC) is the bestestes, easiest way to edit the DB) they should be included for a total "turn key" solution.


DISCLAIMER: Alcohol may have played a part in this post. It made sense to me when I typed it. YMMV.

I have plans to have it retrofit other database installs, right now the requirement is an absolute clean install.

Any chance of an uninstall for those (like me) that screw something up and need to start over.

I uninstalled (and where that option wasn't available) deleted everything I could find. Yet trying to start over has yielded nothing but problems. It worked once but I can't get it to work twice.
