I need help getting my server to work. I have no idea how. So can somebody help me out? I think that's all I need. Thanks.

when creating the first user, what do they mean by navigating to the folder containing the sources, and how do i do that?

Hey, I was wondering if anyone could help me out.

I'm attempting to create the first user, and when I use the command prompt, this always happens:



(Not user and password, name whited out.)

I'd really like to know what I've done wrong or haven't done as I'd like to get this done soon.

Thanks.

Banned deucer.
It looks like your mysql settings are incorrect in server.properties, or perhaps you aren't running mysqld at all.

Okay, MySQL was already started, so I restarted it, and I got the same message. Also I can't have read that guide more thoroughly than I have. I'm entirely stumped at this point and have been going through pages of stuff looking for what is wrong.

I've a question, I'be build a server and want to run it, the server window is open when I want to connect to the server but I can't connect to the server
why?

I've successfully installed mysql, and completed all previous steps, but I get stuck on the next part which is connecting to the mysql database via the cmd.

Whenever I type in the admin username and password for this code: java -cp dist/ShoddyBattle.jar shoddybattle.AccountEditor USERNAME PASSWORD 2

in the MySQL program it always just does this:

java -cp dist/ShoddyBattle.jar shoddybattle.AccountEditor admin fakepassword 2
-->

So I input my information and then I get this little arrow underneath it. I don't know what to do to get around this. I am pre-assuming server.properties but thats only got my created database, registered mysql name and root pass.

Ummmm, help?

Ok so I'm at the part where I have to download MySQL, but there's so many different options, I'm not sure which one I have to pick. There are options for package format downloads and TAR packages downloads with multiple options for Mac OS X (I'm running version 10.5.8)

I picked Mac OS X 10.5 (PowerPC, 64-bit) under package format downloads and downloaded the program. I can't find the program itself, but there is something called MySQL server status, where there's an option to Start MySQL server, but when I click on it, nothing happens. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? =(

I've gotten the same exact error. If someone could figure this out, I'd be grateful. :3

Just wondering if there's any *nix providers that allow for Shoddy server installation/hosting. Requiring root to install, I'm going to assume that this hasn't taken on for being an option, but wondering if anyone has ran into any host providers that allow it, or found ways around requiring root. thanks.

Make sure that ShoddyBattle/dist/ShoddyBattle.jar actually exists. If it doesn't then build it in netbeans by hitting F11 or the blue hammer icon. Also, you're supposed to replace USERNAME and PASSWORD by your desired username and password

You probably have the wrong username or password in your server.properties, or you never made a mysql account named mohaji.

Now the database is installed:
See this picture: http://img1.abload.de/img/hallog4ew.png
But the Shoddy Battle service hadn't bee added on the list of the services. What is wrong?
I've use this server.properties file:

I get this problem:



What do I do? I've read over the guide a couple of times, I'm not entirely sure what it means by: "navigate to the folder where you have the sources"

Thanks for any help.

Attempting to install shoddy battle server on a *nix platform. The help files state that root is needed to install shoddy battle server, but someone recently stated that root wasn't needed. How else would would the server be installed on a *nix platform? thanks in advance.

The only time that root is mentioned is for the mysql database. Most hosts provide mysql services and you can have your own account. You don't actually need to be root, but most people doing this on their home machines can just use root

Just a question on having other people connecting: I followed that section of the guide word for word, and for some reason I still can't get it going. I have set up a static IP, I set the exceptions for my firewall, and still nothing.
