Why are all the so-called giudes incomplete?

For several months i have followed every single setting up guide.

Most of them are either corrupt or missing files or contain no information as to what to do when faced with issues.

I have frequently requested help and recieved almost none.
There are no files located around here that contain just the servers- npc, account, and msg, that actually work. Those that are on the guides dont have details on how to make them work if they arent working.

So i humbly request someone who can actually follow these giudes to upload the files i need and msn me the location so i may finally get my server actually working.

Finally, does anyone know whether or not there are issues with setting up a server on XP Pro 64 bit edition.

Funhacker or forcer if you read this I BEG YOU PLEASE HELP ME.
The mods and other staff of the forum, PLEASE I ONLY WANT HELP

i got your PM i apo0logize for not responding sooner been busy with school. I will be going though ALL the guides and deleteing the ones that a) no longer work at all, B) have missing links, c) dont get used at all.

As for your problem to be honest i was always someone who worked on pets. THere were others on my team that delt with that stuff. The best person to ask would be forcer or funhacker..wait thats 2 people but you know what i mean.

sorry i cant help you more

Yes it will work on 64bit XP Pro (assumption) as I have my test server on my computer (Vista Ultimate 64bit)

As for problems unless people start posting a clean system log I will no longer bother.

A system log is located in syslog NPCServer = NPC Log SZ_Server = MSG Log

I think this is the file you mentioned.

Looking in the folder you mentioned theres loads like this, but this is the latest one.
I cant attach the whole file so here is the contents:-

================================================== ==============================

any help for this matter forcer would be greatly appreciated

that means: Database connection failed!
you have your mysql details incorrect:
1. your login/password is not defined or is wrong in mysql
2. you don't have mysql powered up AT ALL
3. you miss mysql folders named MY and/or ACCOUNT.

fix database connection issues:
1. easy to fix, just go to mysql installation folder and run mysql.exe
1.a. exec exactly this in mysql console: 2. go to computer (right click, manage) go to srvices and search for mysql. if it's not there run cmd.exe and go to mysql installation folder and run "mysqld-nt --install"

3. go to mysql installation folder and make sure that you have "my" and/or "account" folders inside. if you don't you need to put them there, if yes, check the contents.

Yeah i helped her, on the error log its saying some of the tables are corrupt.. but its the mannequin one.. and it work fine for me...

done all that and gives me this error

Quote:

mysqld> grant all on *.* to `root`@`localhost` indentified by `test`; ERROR 1064 <42000>: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near `test` at line 1

Are you using MySQL version 4.0.X ? (X is not important number could be 0-9)
