[Ascent] Linux Compile Flyby

[Sinister~]

Decided to give a quick tour for installing Ascent on Linux. This is simple and quick, no linux software help. Make any comments if anything should be changed or added. Thank yous, are appreciated. ^^;

update your linux software if not already
install MySQL and configure if not already
find or create a directory to install ascent = "installdir"

type the following command lines:
-
svn co svn://emupedia.com/svn/ascent/
cd ascent/branches/1_7_stable
autoreconf --install --force
./configure
make
make install
mkdir etc
(if any of these doesnt work, you do not have the proper linux software updated/installed)
-

Linux is case sensitive, make sure these are typed as shown.

copy conf files to the newly made "etc" directory
example : cp installdir/ascent/branches/1_7_stable/src/*.conf installdir/ascent/branches/1_7_stable/etc
edit your conf files
example : "vi ascent.conf" (ascent.conf* logonserver.conf* realms.conf*)
note** type "i" to edit - ":wq" to save and close - ":q!" to close and not save
go into your "bin" folder -->> installdir/ascent/branches/1_7_stable/bin
type - mkdir maps
type - mkdir DBC
type - mkdir scripts
type - mkdir logs

add your DBC files into your DBC directory
add your maps files into your maps directory (not needed)
add your scripts into your scripts directory (not needed)

go back to your "bin" directory
start the logonserver by typing -->> ./logonserver
start your ascent server by typing -->> ./ascent

for public ascess -

open ports 3306,8129,3724,8093
give out your "realmlist.wtf" -->> set realmlist yourIP

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Database Install -
svn co http://projects.emupedia.com/svn/ncdb
(user = anonymous :: pass = "leave this blank")
edit tool.sh
./tool.sh

choose "c"
then, choose "w"

All done. You now have the most uptodate stable WoW emulated server, ready to go. Easy stuff eh?

lol thx for this, was trying to use autoconf and automake and it wasn't working >_< but autoreconf was the trick.

The SQLyog download for linux is only in binary. Is there an apt-get to SQLyog? I don't want to compile the source since I don't know how too.

Also, do you realise you are telling people to compile a server revision that is almost 1500 revisions old?

I'm using phpmyadmin...

Just use http://projects.emupedia.com/svn/ascent/trunk as your checkout sources.. latest revisions.
