Title: A DB error during server installation
Post by: wutanglv on December 24, 2020, 10:27:06 AM
Hello there!

17 years L2 player veteran here.
Long story short, I wanted to create a server and fiddle around with it, possibly turning it into an actual game server. Last time i made a server was 10 years ago, and it had way different requirements and setups that needed to be done.

I started using the provided guide, all fine and dandy, however..

Just at the #7 where's written " Click on the "X" button next to MySQL." - There's no X. Just "start". But, it did launch.

However, next step is where it gets kinky.

#8 step -  Use "Database_Installer_GS.exe" to install the gameserver database. As soon as I open that window, and attempt to run it, it says that It cannot find database. Ofc, I figure that you still need some kind of DB manager like navicat. But this one asks for maria-db. Well i found Maria, but there are several options to choose from (java7, java8/etc). Which one is correct one and is it possible to update the guide with setting up database manager and connector as well? That would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I love the things you've done here guys! I may even start contributing too!

You do not need any database manager program.

You miss mariadb library.
Did you compile the files?

Hello, Mobius. Thank you for swift reply.

Yes, I did compile the files, it was a success.

I just installed the JRE, turns out I did install that but I did not add the environment variables.

Let's see how that goes now.

Here's the pic of how my XAMPP appears. Again, i see no X, but the mysql server is running. I did allow the ports @fw as well.

I did also recompile the project, unzipped it again. I'll see what happens now.

I did manage to start it, the server is running! Thanks a lot!

Now, i'll attempt to connect, hopefully it wont be much of an issue. Then i'll have to reconfigure it so my friends can join in the fray!

All things are working. I just realised that Epilogue doesn't have freya, sel mahums, and those things in it, so I guess i'll have to pull H5 version. :)

Hello.

https://failiem.lv/u/d5vxzzybd#/view/trcbmjdjg

There's a problem with CT2.6 H5 client that was provided. I cannot install either of the provided clients (tried both), several times. I even tried disabling UAC, running as administrator, compatibility mode, and pretty much anything else that I could think of.

Is there a file missing there, or something else is up here?

Just download it, it works just fine. Scan your pc for trojans or viruses.

PC's fine. I had to disable UAC through regedit, then it worked. Turns out, for Win10 its not uncommon to get these kind of prompts and errors. :) Thanks anyway!
