Can not start my server? TFS 1.0

[Andréew]

Hey!

i downloaded TFS 1.0 from this thread https://otland.net/threads/the-forgotten-server-1-0.223775/ and i did set up the sql database but when i start server i get this error ( console was just up for tiny seconds so wasn't able to get a good screenshot..

You have wrong user/password combination in your Config.lua for connecting to the database.
Open config.lua and set your actual user/pw for a mysql user.

 

[Andréew]

Im pretty sure i use the right one?

the username and password you set up like first thing you do when downloading xampp?

 

[Shadow Dan]

login to xampp in http://localhost/phpmyadmin
and use that into config.lua, must be exactly same user and password
you did misstype somewhere for sure

 

[Webtimize]

check if your mysqld.exe process is running

 

[Andréew]

oh i fixed it! went to phpmyadmin and it said that i dident use any password so i did manage to change it via "shell" button in xampp control panel.
only problem now is that i cant connect to phpmyadmin anymore, (cuz i changed the password i guess)

is it for just me or when did phpmyadmin delete their log on screen?

 

[Shadow Dan]

If you didn't deleted xampp folder inside htdocs you will be able to connect http://localhost/security/index.php and change password

#edit
If you don't remember your password, you can use .bat file to restore your defaults root/no password
It is located in:
xampp\mysql\resetroot.bat

 

[Andréew]

The password problem is fixed now the server starts as it should but i cant log in to phpmyadmin?
after i changed the password my access to phpmyadmin is = null

 

[Shadow Dan]

use resetrot.bat
go to http://localhost/security/index.php
make your password, set it in config and should work fine

XAMPP DIRECTORY PROTECTION (.htaccess)

example:
UserNameLNt2 / password

If you can't fix error that you made, you can make copy of your file htdocs and shutdown then reinstall xampp, that will work for sure.

 

[Andréew]

i did as you said, run the bat file and then tried to go to localhost/security/index.php but got this

tried to reinstall xampp aswell still same problem.

 

[Shadow Dan]

ehh i can help you with team viewer if you want. Priv msg.
Now i go sleep because i have work soon, ill be on forum in 18,5h.
If you won't solve it till that time prepare Skype and Teamviewer 10

It's recomended to use a new user, instead of root.

 

[Evil Puncker]

and please stop using xampp and use something more lightweight and updated like uniformserver

 

[Tarek1337]

and please stop using xampp and use something more lightweight and updated like uniformserver

Agree.

 

[Shadow Dan]

I had too many problems with uniform, xampp has better options, but its only my opinion.

i did as you said, run the bat file and then tried to go to localhost/security/index.php but got this

tried to reinstall xampp aswell still same problem.

Now i have time 12:00 at 23:00 ill be home and help you with teamviewer if you won't solve problem.

So you should do this:
1. you must have not running apache and mysql
1a. reinstall xampp (after reinstall DO NOT paste anything in htdocs folder)
2. run mysql and apache
2a. go to http://localhost/ or http://localhost/phpmyadmin/
3. change username and password
4. go to TFS/config.lua, change username and password, add database name
5. http://localhost/phpmyadmin/
6. create new database (same name as in config.lua)
7. import .sql file from your TFS folder
8. run serwer

After you did all steps you can start installing acc maker but remember to not delete xampp folder inside htdocs(only this folder, other files you can delete)

Well, Xampp likes to eat some ram, and it's not secure as uniform.

 

[Andréew]

ok so i did this, yesterday i uninstalled xampp from my computer totally erased it!

1. reinstalled it
2. started control panel
3. changed the ports for apache since i have skype installed aswell (port 80 and 443 changed to 8080 and 4433)
4.started apache and MySql
5. went into users(profiles) or whatever pressed change password on root
6. as soon as i changed password i could not connect to phpmyadmin

edit, this is the error i get

i know in the picture its swedish so heres a translation for you
" phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, but the server rejected the connection. Check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they match the information from the administrator of the MySQL server. "

#up
You shouldnt change ports.
Just go to skype options > advanced > connection > UNcheck "use ports 80 and 443 for incoming connections

msg me on skype so ill help you.

I do not agree with this. Xampp is very secure if you have last version and know how to use it.
Basically you need to do only 3 things to make xampp full secure and it takes 2 minutes if you know what to do.

Peoples was crying that xampp is unsecure because they were newbies and didnt know how to setup it. They didnt deleted pma user, and didnt set new password for web auth. Apache need to be hidden too.

Well shadow Dan thanks a lot for the help! but i decieded to use 0.3.6 instead! and it works just fine

 

[Shadow Dan]

TFS version has nothing to do with connection to database i run it with both versions. I can do it even on same time 2 servers 8.6 and 10.77.
Fine if you want engine with many bugs and not solved crashes you will work on it 1 year and then change it to higher version when you realize that you cant fix crashes.
Also there is bad support for lower versions because all good scripters using now higher versions and they getting used to new functions. Anyways, good luck.
