Unable to test SpringServer.exe need working settings.txt

Post by adeveloper.clan-sy »

Hello,

I have been able to successfully compile the SpringServer.exe Program, but I am unable to test it because it errors out. The error.txt says:

Error: Failed to connect to database using
User: root
Password: baguba1313
Database: test in function main


I downloaded the binary-only distribution and there is no settings.txt file included with the Spring.exe; does this mean that the settings are compiled into the Spring.exe ?

Do I have to install a mysql database engine to test the SpringServer.exe ? How is Spring.exe able to run without my installing a mySQL database engine, but the SpringServer.exe seems to require an external mySQL database engine listening on localhost.

If I do need to install mySQL, what is the database schema I need to setup so that I can test the SpringServer.exe correctly?


thanks!

SpringServer is the master server where you can find games, so you should not really need to run it.. The game itselfs is compiled from lesson2.vcproj in the rts folder.

I want to test the SpringServer.exe, so what is the database schema so that I can create a working database?

What version of mySQL do you have installed in your test-lab?

Can you provide a download of your mySQL database so that I can test SpringServer.exe ?
