Warcraft 3 MODs

Hi all,
we have a Linux-Root Server with SuSe 9.2!
I have Installed a new Cstrike Server with WC3FT Mod.
Now i like to use MySQL for save all stats.

I have installed an apache server (apachefriends.org)
MySQL 4.1.13 on localhost

@ root:
netstat -nlpt | grep mysqld

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 28305/mysqld

@ user:
./hlds_run -game cstrike +map de_dust +maxplayers 21 +port 27020

[AMXX] SQL error: can't connect: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)'

I Edit the war3ft.cfg and sql.cfg:

// MySQL configuration
FT_mysql_host "localhost"
FT_mysql_user "root"
FT_mysql_pass "removed"
FT_mysql_db "amxx"

I have tested IP for the Server and 127.0.0.1 but the Error is the same...

Can you help please?

Thank you

Not sure... seems to be th emysql server isn't running...

Also, you'll need the updated sql module for 4.1

Don't use 'localhost' as FT_mysql_host

This sometimes breaks with AMXX. Use the ip 127.0.0.1

When i use IP 127.0.0.1 in cfg:

[AMXX] SQL error: can't connect: 'Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client'

But its the newest version of mysql

Correct, its the newest version of MySQL. MySQL Server is telling you that the MySQL Client code being used by AMXX is too old.

This isn't your server's fault, its AMXX's fault. You DID connect though, unlike when using localhost, MySQL just kicked you out.

Are you using the new AMXX 1.5?

Yes.. I use AMXX 1.5

ahhhh.... yes u need new mysql module

If you're using amxx 1.50:

I've seen this error message before and to resolve it I reset the password for the account used to access the Warcraft database.

In the MySQL console I ran the following:-

SET PASSWORD FOR 'some_user'@'some_host' = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd');

Let me know if it works...

LeafCutter

I will try these...

But now i learn first: How to open a myscl console ^^

When its done, i write here

Thx to all

Yeaaaaaaaah ^^

It works

I have start the Server and now:

[WAR3FT] Connection to MySQL Database successful (1)

Big Thx to all

Hello, everybody:

Although the problem is solved, let me sum it up for future users:

• The MySQL modules that come with AMX Mod X are built using a library compatible with MySQL version 4.0.x
• The MySQL modules that come in the SQLModules extra package are built using a library compatible with MySQL version 4.1.x
• The password encoding scheme has changed from MySQL 4.0.x to 4.1.x

The solution for it is to either force the usage of the old password encoding scheme using the default MySQL modules or install the SQLModules extra package and use the newer encoding scheme.

To use the old password encoding scheme:

• Edit the server configuration file (either my.ini or my.cnf depending of your platform) and make sure you have "old_passwords = 1" set in the [mysqld] section
• Convert all your users passwords using (as indicated above by LeafCutter) the following SQL statement in a MySQL interactive shell "SET PASSWORD FOR '<user>'@'<host>' = OLD_PASSWORD('<password>') ;"

To use the new password encoding scheme:

• Install the AMX Mod X SQLModules extra package
• Edit the server configuration file (either my.ini or my.cnf depending of your platform) and make sure you have "old_passwords = 0" set in the [mysqld] section
• Convert all your users passwords using the following SQL statement in a MySQL interactive shell "SET PASSWORD FOR '<user>'@'<host>' = PASSWORD('<password>') ;"

When to use each approach:

• If you are upgrading from a previous (4.0.x) version or you are using the MySQL server for other functions than serving AMX Mod X and Warcraft 3 FT for wich you might be using a program built against an older MySQL client library, stick with the old password encoding scheme
• If you are doing a fresh install or you are using the MySQL server only for AMX Mod X and Warcraft 3 FT or you are absolutelly sure all the applications you might have accessing your database server are using the new MySQL client library go for the new password encoding scheme

On a side note since it is an unrelated problem, under GNU Linux always prefer to use IP addresses rather than DNS, since the resolver built in the MySQL client library is prone to failures, for instance the usage of localhost depends on a cannonical entry as a real name (not an alias) in "/etc/hosts", hence the failure above.

I hope this helps somebody in the future,


EDIT - The damn spellchecker keeps letting typos pass by, I would change it if it wasn't attached to my neck

Great!

But i have a question again:

In the Howto i read this Where i must enter this?

Thx

From the line exactly above that code snippet:

Lazarus Long wrote:and issue the following command in a shell (run this in the AMX Mod X configs directory - you already should be there - and note that there is no space between -p and the password)

I hope this helps,

i did what you said and got this still =/.

Have a look at Geesu's post regarding this.
