Rel21+ Temporary Compile Guide

Issue discussed here. Mysql is not old, but rather is built without threading/shared libs (or maybe another critical option; never have built it manually) support. Either rebuild it manually with thread support, or use better pre-built package. I doubt that such extreme solution as changing the whole OS is needed.

You're absolutely correct, further reading today cleared that up as well, just upgraded everything to MariaDB which, according to them, is thread safe...

Thanks for the response and help!

Seeing as how the links to OpenSSL in the original post are dead, I'm not quite sure how to proceed with installing OpenSSL.

Worked when I downloaded, but they updated the version being hosted, here is a link to the site page

Shining Light Productions - Win32 OpenSSL

Anyway you can also check the serversource\win dir :-)

Thanks for the note, I just have updated the links.

Personally, I would not recommend to stay at the binary packages included into the repo (win/ folder content). The mentioned OpenSSL is updated regularly every two-three months for security issues.

Thanks for the quick assistance

An additional question: after building the project, I can't find 'vmap-assembler.exe'. I have everything else in the 'tools' folder (vmap-extractor.exe, map-extractor.exe, ExtractResources.sh and so on) but that one. What gives?

[Olion]

I can't find 'vmap-assembler.exe'.

Ignore it, copy the tools/ folder content to the client root folder and copy the ace.dll in addition (the dependence was added recently), then run ExtractResources.sh under "git bash" as described.

Another possible issue is about Debug build of extractors. I would recommend to build the Release configuration and use optimized tool binaries from build/Release, since they run few times faster. Some time ago, the mmap extractor had been prevented from running if on Debug build. I did not follow the topic and cannot say, how it looks like now. Using Debug build for mmap extractor is a bad idea anyway.

I'm having a problem when I'm launching mangosd.exe. realmd.exe is running properly as far as I can tell, but when I try to run mangosd it say 'Could not connect to MySQL database at 127.0.0.1: unknown database 'mangos' '

Presumably I've messed something up while running InstallDatabases.bat, so that it can't locate the database. What should I do?

[Olion]

You can find database names here. The names `mangos0` and `character0` are used for Zero. Modify your mangosd.conf file substituting these names for `mangos` and `characters` at the end of line here:

WorldDatabaseInfo            = "127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;mangos"
CharacterDatabaseInfo        = "127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;characters"

To the DB devs: the consistency of the names in all *CreateDB.sql and in the install script needs to be checked and fixed: `characters0` and `character0` are present now.

Thank you very much for the assistance. Server is now up and running succesfully

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:20 (project):
  No CMAKE_C_COMPILER could be found.

Based on the error message alone - cmake can not find any c compilers to use.

Are you using Windows, Linux or OSX ?
