I don't know what to edit!

[Nirer]

I downloaded your server and now I created database and all.... I dont know how/what to edit in the config.lua...
when i go to my localhost/phpadmin
section, my username is: root
password: hello
the database is named "forgottenserver", i imported forgottenserver.sql into it, what do i edit in config.lua and how?
(paragraph 7 - windows)

-- MySQL
mysqlHost = "localhost"
mysqlUser = "root"
mysqlPass = ""
mysqlDatabase = "theforgottenserver"
mysqlPort = 3306

That's the MySQL part, if the password is hello which I hope was an example password since it's not smart to post it here, change
mysqlPass = ""
to
mysqlPass = "hello"

and

mysqlDatabase = "theforgottenserver"
to
mysqlDatabase = "forgottenserver"

And change
sqlType = "sqlite"
to
sqlType = "mysql"

and sqltype option isnt even there

 

[Mark]

It's under '-- SQL':
sqlType = "sqlite"

I guess the guide has to be updated to tell the user to edit that part aswell.

@up: the password must be the phpmyadmin password when you access it. In default it's Root but you should change that into something different, if you're using Xampp then you can go to: http://localhost/security and change it there.

(Everybody can access it if you didn't change your password, ofcourse they must know the ip)

 

[soul4soul]

well i changed it here so it matches the 1 from xampp

	-- MySQL
	mysqlHost = "localhost"
	mysqlUser = "root"
	mysqlPass = "mypassword"
	mysqlDatabase = "otserv"
	mysqlPort = 3306

but how about here this is what i mean

	-- SQL
	sqlType = "mysql"
	passwordType = "plain"

I think you can write your mysql password.

 

[Nirer]

well anyways you all answered my questions so thx, its working except for the account parts... cant login....

 

[EvulMastah]

Leave `plain` there...

 

[Falconmax]

passwordType can be "md5" or "plain".

 

[soul4soul]

ok i put it back to plain everything seems like it works fine now
