How to setup a server?

[Olakion]

Hello All,

I am have downloaded and build the latest version of CVS. I am able to build the complete software on Win XP with MinGW. I try now to run the psserver but I am not able to get it running.

Can someone give a link how I can setup a server locally?

hmm... does it give you any helpful error messages? I seem to believe I heard that either minGW or Cygwin (or both?) are missing a proper implementation of the winsock32 api which facilitates network communication... obviously, the server and client need that, so it\'s possible that that is your problem. I myself never built with minGW on windows, so I may not be the best person to ask.. :-/

It gives no errors at compilation. When I run psserver.exe the following error message is generated:



$ ./psserver.exe

planeshift.application.server:
  No iDataConnection plugin!

Initialize:
  Could not create database or connect to it.

error while initializing server!
  LoadLibraryEx(d:\\Olaf\\PlaneShiftSrc\\planeshift\\dbmysql.dll) error 126: Kan opgegeven module niet vinden.



The last message is in Dutch because i have a Dutch version of WinXP. It say that the module can not be found but the file dbmysql.dll is in that directory.

Hmm, was MySQL installed correctly and the daemon is running?

[josephoenix]

That\'s what I was asking for, errors at runtime. you stated that you built the software so I assumed that that meant no compile errors.

That message seems to mean that mysql isn\'t running, or that you didn\'t have libmysql installed at ./configure time.

I\'m not sure how to install libmysql on windows, but with linux it\'s packaged with the mysql server. Or, you may have it, but MinGW doesn\'t know that it\'s there to compile in.

I have found the cause of the problem. I needed to add in the PATH variable the directory where the file ?libmySQL.dll? is stored and the server will start.

Thanks to everyone that tried to help me.
