Hi hatedigi, Please check if you have ran the 'logs.sql' for the database specified in your 'inter_athena.conf' https://rathena.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rathena/trunk/sql-files/logs.sql

Hi kealzorz, If you are downloading with Windows, SVN Tortoise allows you to specify the revision number when checking out. Just specific a revision before '15503'. If you are downloading with Linux, you can just use this command... svn co -r15500 REPO_LINK_HERE Also, I think you should check out the rAsql as Jezu mentioned; it serves as an up-to-date replacement for TXT versions of rAthena. http://rathena.org/wiki/Using_rAsql

Hi yamzkie, I use to own a copy of the V-shield; it does not work without source modification. And also, the .dll is extremely outdated; it does not work for the newer clients. The V-shield system works by creating a specific hash based on your client, and the hash value must be put into a custom source that they provide for the login-server to accept the client. Botters soon found a way around this by figuring out the hash, and inputting it into their bot to enable them to enter the server. V-shield is extremely outdated, and you should purchase Harmonize.it if you really want true protection.

Hi wh1t3dr3am, JayPee is correct; you are using a legacy version of FluxCP which does not have the updated values. You must remove your current FluxCP, along with the cp_* tables in your mySQL database, and re-install with CalciumKid's version of FluxCP. http://rathena.org/board/topic/60255-fluxcp-renewal-finally-native-rathena-support/

Hi Janet, Can you be specific as to where you are getting this error? It has no signs of not being able to connect to MySQL; it just says there was an error trying to process a request you've made.

Hi Anna, Everyone on this thread has nailed the fine points of using Linux over Windows; and when to actually use Windows. If you have absolutely no experience with Linux, you would either start with a company which provides a easy set up of Linux for a newbie to easily use, or just use Windows. Windows cost more money because Microsoft charges for the software; Windows also uses more RAM and CPU. Linux on the otherhand, is cheaper and is very great on saving resources; it allows you to run other things such as the rAthena Emulator and a MySQL server on a server with less RAM. Thanks to @Kaito_Kid for mentioning us, we do try our best to make our services newbie friendly. But once you get the hang of Linux, a lot of people usually try to find a better deal or move to a dedicated server. But I will point out the details that a lot of people miss... (things to consider for running an RO server on a VPS) 1) CPU power, how much do you get? If you have less CPU allocated to your server, can it handle the load? 2) RAM type, is it truly dedicated or is it made up of burst? Is it DDR3 or DDR2? If it's DDR2, is it ECC? 3) Bandwidth, do you get a good mix of bandwidth providers for a good connection for everyone around the world? 4) Hard drive, is it slow? How much RPM? Does it include RAID so that your data is always protected, even in the case of drive failure? 5) Oversold? Are the resources you pay for... really dedicated to you, or is it being shared and oversold to others? So even though some VPS sellers are really cheap, you must consider those things before making a solid purchase. Otherwise, you may regret it; lose players, waste time, and money.

Hi Snap, You can also set up the 2nd server to connect to the same login server; so you can share the login details, and have a separate server with different characters/npc/rates/etc. But for 2 absolutely separate servers; do what Brian said, just use different ports for the servers.

Hi glemor123, Try using iptables; set a limit and burst for packets being sent by an IP/second. Also drop any malformed packets, and also reject SYN/ACK packets on ports which you do not use immediately.

Hi wh1t3dr3am, You can install FluxCP on a separate webhost.

Hi madafackasana, Try contacting Xantara, I know Chokoleyt creates them as well. http://forum.ratemyserver.net/paid-services/(xantara)'s-services-developer-designer/ http://chokoleyt.net/v1/

Hi rexxar31, I don't think that has to do with where you are running the server from...

Hi rexxar31, Use WinSCP; or any SFTP Client.

Hi wh1t3dr3am, This would be something that you need to consult a paid web developer for; you would need someone to analyze how the vBulletin registration works, and then perform a custom edit to that registration script to create a entry for your RO database.

Hi Byakuran, If you haven't already, you must properly define the values for your MySQL Username and Password for the registration script to access the 'ragnarok' database. Also, take into note that if you are using the latest version of rAthena; this script will not work. The values in the tables of `login` has been changed, and may cause this script to not function as it should. /************************* Database ********************/ DEFINE(host, "localhost"); // database hostname default is localhost DEFINE(user, "root"); // database username DEFINE(pass, "ragnarok"); // database password DEFINE(db, "ragnarok"); // database

Hi glemor123, You can actually use the same bash script as V e r T i g O has provided.

Hi glemor123, You will need to create the databases 'ragnarok' and 'log' in your MySQL. Then import the .sql files to the correct databases. https://rathena.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rathena/trunk/sql-files/

Hi glemor123, This is the wrong section, you must request help in the source modification section. There seems to be an error with a modification you have made, related to adding the 'itemmap' command.

Hi glemor123, It should be 'ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Manila /etc/localtime' Also, you must take into consideration the date of the dedicated server that your VPS is hosted on; since these symbolic date links are based on offsets from the dedicated server's time.

Hi Jin Freecs, Make sure you are inside your trunk/rAthena folder before performing that command. It should be 'gdb map-server_sql map-server_sql.core'.

Hi rexxar31, As mleo1 has already stated, there are guides already available for people to learn how to use Linux in hosting their rAthena Project. But I'd like to add this guide I found, it enables you to have a desktop interface for easier use; so it's closer to what you are use to (i.e. - Windows/Apple). http://rathena.org/b...-w-rathena-vnc/ Hi emong, Linux is better than Windows in terms of hosting an RO server. It's easier to perform backups, saves on RAM/CPU resources, allows a lot more functionality, and is a very barebone operating system. Windows is easier to use for users who are not familiar with Linux. Hi mleo1, Here is a great site for you to download a perl script to analyze your MySQL setup. It also gives you solutions to help optimize your MySQL process. http://mysqltuner.pl/mysqltuner.pl

Hi rko123, You can leave that blank.

Hi PapaZola, I think you should ask LoveLudra's developers if they support rAthena instead, not the other way around.

Hi Siege, You can also remove the char by going to the char table of the database and then you find the character to delete.

Hi manabeast, What type of server do you have? Windows? Linux? What type/version of operating system? Windows Server 2003/2008, CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, Scientific?

Hi Remix, Can you provide us with 'stats.php' so we can take a look at "Line 17"?
