I seem to be having problems finding a server I can just download and run every time I try to download one there is always something wrong with it either a sql dll error or something does anyone have a server that can just be downloaded and ran?


Thanks.

Unfortunately the time of true 'download & run' servers is in the past and the community is worse off for it. Some people believe that download & run servers are cancer - they are wrong.
Anyway, I wont rant about that.
Likely there is nothing wrong with the servers you are downloading, rather there are just some 'simple' additional steps you must take in order to get the server running. There is probably a decent tutorial on the tutorials board, but I'll give you the basic steps quickly here. I won't offer any support here, these are only the basic steps without any real guidance - if you are having trouble I suggest you check out the tutorials board, and if you are still having trouble after that - try the support board.

Best of luck,
Michael

1.) Download a game server. I recommend you start with the official TFS 1.1 release. It is already packaged with the required DLL files.
WIN32: https://github.com/otland/forgottenserver/releases/download/v1.1/theforgottenserver-v1.1-win32.zip
WIN64: https://github.com/otland/forgottenserver/releases/download/v1.1/theforgottenserver-v1.1-win64.zip

2.) Download and install a 'web server stack'. I recommend XAMPP - everyone has their own opinions on this though.
https://www.apachefriends.org/xampp-files/5.5.35/xampp-win32-5.5.35-0-VC11-installer.exe

3.) Log into your phpMyAdmin (http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin/)
Create a new database, call it forgottenserver, import the schema.sql from your server folder.

4.) Navigate to your 'x:/xampp/htdocs/' folder and delete everything in it.

5.) Download a Web AAC and extract it into your 'x:/xampp/htdocs/' folder
I recommend Znote AAC: https://github.com/Znote/ZnoteAAC/archive/master.zip

6.) Visit 'http://127.0.0.1' & follow the install instructions as displayed
(Note: you may have to create a text document and paste the SQL into it, and then import it.)

7.) Open 'x:/xampp/htdocs/config.php' and fill in the fields that you need to (it is pretty self explanatory)

8.) Run theforgottenserver.exe

9.) Create an account at 'http://127.0.0.1' and then log into your server
