I'm almost a total noob.. I need some help..

[Zinc]

I would like some help with some 1 on 1 explanations on stuff.

I've hosted XML servers back about I guess 2 years ago, maybe 3..

So this SQL and stuff is a bit much for me to tackle without some sort of Guidance.

I do realize their is a search function but all the tutorials I've found are not covering problems I've had.. they're little problems that I'm sure won't even take long to explain..

Uh, I'd prefer MSN messenger being it's live and i wouldn't have to wait for a reply on PMs here.

I've downloaded afew servers, most run fine it's just the XAMPP stuff that gets confusing..

I liked it better when i could just open a folder or 2 and get to the accts or players and manually edit them it was much faster for me..

but i'm open to this new stuff..

So if Someone would, MSN?

Thanks
-Stan

First thing's first, read about SQL at the one-stop source for information (mostly reliable, sometimes not) on the internet - wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL
Next, you want a tutorial. HAZZA! W3 schools, where you can learn all sorts of things related to the internet, has one: http://www.w3schools.com/sql/default.asp
Finally, you probably want to read the manual/documentation for whatever DBMS you have chosen.
Here ya go: MySQL documentation, MySQL 5.0 reference, SQLite documentation & reference, PostgreSQL documentation (includes a decent basic tutorial on SQL too)

I'll also quote Remere ( a pretty famous guy in the OT world nowadays ) here and tell you that "OTServ is for the developer, not the end-user". If you're a noob, stick to playing OTs and not to making them, and that's quite honestly the end of discussion.
