[Guide] How to fix common Emulation Programs.

[Ground Zero]

I have had alot of people coming to me, asking and complaining that they can't start my private servers due to certain errors.

First im going to explain some MySQL errors when your opening MySQL.
These are the most common MySQL errors.

If you get a error, "unable to locate/find "name" "unable to open MySQL"
This is because you need to have your Repack in your C: Drive.

If you get a error, "MySQL is already running on port 3306"
This means you already have a mySQL proccess running, so simply go to Tasnk Manager (Ctrl alt Delete) and go to proccess' and find mySQL and close it

Logonserver Errors,
If you get a error, unable to connect to MySQL server,
You havn't started up MySQL, if you have mySQL open you probably
have put in the wrong information in your Config files, simply go to Logonserver.config and edit the information at the top.

World Errors.

Crash Dumps,
The most common reason for a crash dump, is you've updated your Rev but you forgot to update mySQL aswell! To do this open mySQL and execute files from sql_updates folder in your ArcEmu folder

Unable to connect To Logonserver, Access Denied.
First of all make sure your IP in your Logonserver/Realm.Configs are the same. Make sure at the bottom of Logonserver you have put your IP
in the "Allow IP's"

If you get MORE errors.
Before you post here crying, Try somthing for me

I didn't have somebody behind me when I was learning, I did it by Trial and Error. I kept backups and messed around with a copy of it. If it worked? I learnt something new, If it failed? Restore a backup and try again.

The best way to learn in my opinion is just to try things, use your common sense, if you look at "Compression" and you have no idea what it means, leave it, but If you look at "Save" let your common sense tell you, "Hey! they must be the time at which the server auto saves!"

If you still can't fix it :P post here.

2003 - Can't Connect to mysql server on 'localhost' (10061)

If you get that error you need to reconfigure MySQL with the MySQL Server Instance Config Wizard.
That is the only way I know of fixing that problem.
It happens with the version 5.1 of MySQL.
