[QUESTION] Problems with MySQL
« on: July 21, 2016, 04:18:27 pm »
The repack given by Steff contains a mysql kind of launcher, am I supposed to be using that one or the mysql I downloaded from the official website? Because if I use the official one authserver and world won't work, but if I use the one from the repack i can get into the server but i can't use programs like HeidiSQL or stoneharry's Spell editor because they ask for username, password, port, etc... I really don't know how MySQL works and i'm a big noob, so i really need guidance.
Btw, this is what shows when I open MySQL from Steff's repack:

I don't know if that's what's supposed to happen, but it seems as if it hasn't loaded yet (it works for the server tho).


I remember beeing able to use HeidiSQL and MySQL properly years ago, when i used WoW-V to create items. I had created a server in mysql like 2 years ago and I don't know if that affects me right now (I have deleted everything related to it recently)
Sorry if it's in the wrong subforum, was doubting between this one and Miscellaneous.

MySQL is software for managing data. A query-able relational database.

The MySQL server software is being distributed with the repack and is in another location apparently. You can have as many MySQL installations as you want but only one can run on a single port at once. 3306 is the default port, but if you need multiple MySQL servers running you can configure them to run on a different port.

Your emulator, included in a repack, connects to and uses a MySQL server. You can have many different databases on a single MySQL server. You need to find out the connection details to your repacks MySQL server, you can grab that out of the world and auth configuration files.

You can export databases in one MySQL server and reimport them to the other easily enough.

All of this information can be found on google.
