Dawn of Light

I followed the guide posted on this site. Got everything set up to the point were I have to run the script files to post them into the sql database, but when I got to run the all of them error out. Is there a certian why I have to run them or do I have to create the tables first then run the script files?

If you follow the guide you cant go wrong, what scripts you trying to use ?

Supgee's Official DOL HOWTO guide, I download the zip files, unzipped them like it said to do.

well not the best DOL person in the world but can you post what errors you are getting, will help ppl to assist you more

The messages I am gett are dol.<insert> does not exist it happen to all the script I run for the zip files I downloaded from this site

Msg unsuccesful


What am I doing wrong, Are there xml files I have to import to get the tables created first then run the batch files?

1) Locate too your "release" folder
2) Run the DOL server, and let it create the files.
3) Open up the config folder.
4) Find the XML document called serverconfig.xml, and open it up.
5) Find the line --> <DBConnectionString>C:/whatever/xml_db</DBConnectionString>
6) Replace that line with this --> <DBConnectionString>Server=localhost; Database=DOL; User ID=YOURUSERNAME; Password=YOURPASSWORD</DBConnectionString> (Note: Your username and password are the same from what you configured with your MySQL Server 4.1
7) Find the line --> <DBType>XML</DBType>
Replace that line with --> <DBType>MySQL</DBType>
9) Save the file, and run your DOL server.
10) You will experience some errors, while the DOL server creates the empty MySQL Databases


you did this bit right ?

Start the server once to create the missing tables, then run the SQL query again.

sounds like a DB issue ? not scripts

Are the missing tables in the xml_db folder that get created or are they in a different folder?

are you making a server for the 1st time ever ?

Yes this is my first time setting it up

the guide on here is really really good, not sure why you cant get it to run, i have sent you a private message just for msn i maybe able to help you on there if you like.
