Help with "dump-items.bat" errors on v179.4

[000f]

I got a v179.4 server up somehow and this is my first time doing this, how do I fix this error I am getting when I run the dump-items.bat? I checked the path inside and everything seems to be correct. This is what I am getting

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can't create data provider!
at lib.data.MapleDataProviderFactory.getWZ(MapleDataProviderFactory.java:45)
at lib.data.MapleDataProviderFactory.getDataProvider(MapleDataProviderFactory.java:31)

at tools.wztosql.DumpItems.main(DumpItems.java:482)

And this is the contents of MapleDataProviderFactory.java

import java.io.File;
import lib.xml.XMLWZFile;

public class MapleDataProviderFactory {

public static MapleDataProvider getDataProvider(String file) {
return getWZ(new File("wz", file), false);
}

private static MapleDataProvider getWZ(Object in, boolean provideImages) {
if(in instanceof File) {
File file = ((File) in);
if (file.isDirectory()) {
try {
return new XMLWZFile((File) in);
} catch(NullPointerException npe) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("The file '"+in+"' was not found!");
}
}
}
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Can't create data provider!");
}

}

Thanks a lot.

had the same issue, googled and found this thread, no help, I fixed it by adding the line; sql_endpoint=127.0.0.1 to the config.properties file. for anyone else who runs into this issue. My issue was MYSQL wasn't being connected to.

**EDIT**
My fix didn't work after all. Still having same issue :) I couldn't get the server to start but I did after, still having issue with batchfiles.
