Dawn of Light

I just wrote a blog entry on how to set up a DOL Server over on my Wordpress site (I find it easier to make edits over there)

If peeps could try it out, or just critique it and let me know if I need to make any corrections, that would be great. AND if it's useful enough maybe we could post it here as a guide (?) I'm not really sure on the protocols for that, since I'm kinda new.

I hope it's helpful, and look forward to some feedback. Here's the URL:

Ill read through all of it later, but i will say, It is prefered in most cases to use a program like HeidiSQL over PhPMyAdmin as PhPMyAdmin as a sql file size limit by default. As well as Apache loads alot of additional software you really dont need when you could just install mysql as a development system. now i wont say there is anything wrong with those 2 programs, but for someone inexperianced, apache could add some overwhelming options

Yeah, that's why I used Uniform Server - it's really easy to install/use, and it has a built in work-around to bypass PHPMyAdmin's large file import problem.

I've never used HeidiSQL, coming from a Web Developer background it was just way simpler to use tools I'm already familiar with.

I personaly mounted mine server with :
- nging for http server -> lighter, more responsive
- php-ts for php engine server
- mariadb for sql db server -> open source, more responsive
- heidisql for sql editing (each has its advantages)

I am currently testing Adminer (PHPMyAdmin alternative).

If you want, i can make an installer for you.

That would be awesome. I'd love to try it out

i will say with both http and program backgrounds i see what you are sayimg
I was more or less trying to throw some alternitives in. maybe ill make a full tutorial as well, or make "alternitives" to your tutorial when needed (no need to list tortise twice

My server is now available here :
Setup 1.7 part 1
Setup 1.7 part 1

or 10M files :
Setup 1.7 10M part 1
Setup 1.7 10M part 2
Setup 1.7 10M part 3
Setup 1.7 10M part 4

Nginx 1.7.4 x86
PHP 5.5.15 x64
MariaDB : 10.0.13 x64
Adminer : 4.1.0

Mysql root user : root
Mysql root password : 8755

Base site folder : C:\HKWEMP\nginx\html

Base site url : http://localhost/
Adminer url : http://localhost/adminer.php

I strongly advise to download and use HeidiSQL more.

I got the exe file no problem, but keep getting an error on the bin file. I also tried out HeidiSQL, and that is a much better interface than PhPMyAdmin. Thanks for the high recommendation there

Heidi is awesome, and once you get used to it the crazy MySQL Workbench is not that bad. It's not good mind you, but I still find it the easiest to run quick selects to find things.

Now Heidi supports PostgreSQL ! (and SQL Server too) !

One heidi to rules' em all !

and uploaded 10M compressed files version

Awesome! Thanks for those, I probably won't get to try them out proper until after this week. I have to deliver some pretty major training to our local high school's teachers on a new computer system, but after I'm done with that I'll take a closer look. Thanks! BTW I'm still loving Heidi

Make your students work on DOL ahahah gl anyway

DOL for student will be great

It will show a lot of trouble that comes during development of a project , it will show how a Object Oriented Language can be really badly used, and maybe you will get around masterpiece code that can make a good example

Anyway this kind of Roleplaying Games are really great example to explain Object code, as Object are not too abstract in a "game" and rules around games are really easy to implement as object methods !
