Need some help with mySQL setup

[FAQdaWorld]

Can someone make like an idiots guide to this?

 

http://dayzepoch.com/wiki/index.php?title=Server_Installation_Instructions_Extended

 

I'm a complete maroon when it comes to SQL (I barely scrape on by when it comes to scripting for the server!)

 

Creating an event and scheduling it to occur with navicat to restock the traders and remove destroyed vehicles is no problem. I've got that in and working... But the cleanup of unused items is giving me all sorts of problems.

 

I dont know how or what to do what anything in that Server Installation Instructions Extended.

 

I went into my.ini and turned on the event_scheduler (i think)

 

When i run the sql  query SET GLOBAL event_scheduler = 1;

 

I get this....

 

[SQL] SET GLOBAL event_scheduler = 1;
Affected rows: 0
Time: 0.000ms

 

 

So I assume that it's working but then if I were to hit Explain (not sure if i should be doing that or not, but I did it because the next steps dont work either!)

 

 EXPLAIN SET GLOBAL event_scheduler = 1;

 

[Err] 1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'SET GLOBAL event_scheduler = 1' at line 1

If i try to execute those sql's then i get this....

[Err] 1065 - Query was empty
[Err] ;
[Msg] Finished - Unsuccessfully
--------------------------------------------------

 

 

If i try to run this on the entire database (127.0.0.1) i get this...

 

 

[Err] 1046 - No database selected
[Err] DROP EVENT IF EXISTS removeDamagedVehicles;
[Msg] Finished - Unsuccessfully
--------------------------------------------------

 

So can someone tell me what the heck I'm doing wrong? Because it's abundantly clear I havent got a clue!

 

 

Our server is running,but I would like to be able to run some of those other cleanup scripts and whatnot. Thanks for any help in advance!

Make sure you have enabled the event sheduler in your MySQL config file my.ini:

 

event-scheduler = ON

Brace yourselves. I apologize for posting the whole thing as I realize that the majority of it is commenty goodness. I've appended it to the bottom of the file. Is that not kosher?

#
# Installation Instructions
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# On Linux you can copy this file to /etc/my.cnf to set global options,
# mysql-data-dir/my.cnf to set server-specific options
# (@localstatedir@ for this installation) or to
# ~/.my.cnf to set user-specific options.
#
# On Windows you should keep this file in the installation directory 
# of your server (e.g. C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server X.Y). To
# make sure the server reads the config file use the startup option 
# "--defaults-file". 
#
# To run run the server from the command line, execute this in a 
# command line shell, e.g.
# mysqld --defaults-file="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server X.Y\my.ini"
#
# To install the server as a Windows service manually, execute this in a 
# command line shell, e.g.
# mysqld --install MySQLXY --defaults-file="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server X.Y\my.ini"
#
# And then execute this in a command line shell to start the server, e.g.
# net start MySQLXY
#
#
# Guildlines for editing this file
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# In this file, you can use all long options that the program supports.
# If you want to know the options a program supports, start the program
# with the "--help" option.
#
# More detailed information about the individual options can also be

tmp_table_size=25M


# How many threads we should keep in a cache for reuse. When a client
# disconnects, the client's threads are put in the cache if there aren't
# more than thread_cache_size threads from before.  This greatly reduces

# improvement if you have a good thread implementation.)
thread_cache_size=9


#*** MyISAM Specific options
# The maximum size of the temporary file MySQL is allowed to use while
# recreating the index (during REPAIR, ALTER TABLE or LOAD DATA INFILE.
# If the file-size would be bigger than this, the index will be created
# through the key cache (which is slower).
myisam_max_sort_file_size=100G


# If the temporary file used for fast index creation would be bigger
# than using the key cache by the amount specified here, then prefer the

# large tables to use the slower key cache method to create the index.
myisam_sort_buffer_size=48M


# Size of the Key Buffer, used to cache index blocks for MyISAM tables.
# Do not set it larger than 30% of your available memory, as some memory
# is also required by the OS to cache rows. Even if you're not using
# MyISAM tables, you should still set it to 8-64M as it will also be
# used for internal temporary disk tables.

#*** INNODB Specific options ***

# but you do not plan to use it. This will save memory and disk space
# and speed up some things.
# skip-innodb


# Additional memory pool that is used by InnoDB to store metadata
# information.  If InnoDB requires more memory for this purpose it will

# If set to 1, InnoDB will flush (fsync) the transaction logs to the
# disk at each commit, which offers full ACID behavior. If you are
# willing to compromise this safety, and you are running small
# transactions, you may set this to 0 or 2 to reduce disk I/O to the
# logs. Value 0 means that the log is only written to the log file and
# the log file flushed to disk approximately once per second. Value 2
# means the log is written to the log file at each commit, but the log
# file is only flushed to disk approximately once per second.
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=1


# The size of the buffer InnoDB uses for buffering log data. As soon as

# (even with long transactions).
innodb_log_buffer_size=2M


# InnoDB, unlike MyISAM, uses a buffer pool to cache both indexes and
# row data. The bigger you set this the less disk I/O is needed to
# access data in tables. On a dedicated database server you may set this
# parameter up to 80% of the machine physical memory size. Do not set it
# too large, though, because competition of the physical memory may
# cause paging in the operating system.  Note that on 32bit systems you
# might be limited to 2-3.5G of user level memory per process, so do not
# set it too high.
innodb_buffer_pool_size=129M


# Size of each log file in a log group. You should set the combined size
# of log files to about 25%-100% of your buffer pool size to avoid
# unneeded buffer pool flush activity on log file overwrite. However,
# note that a larger logfile size will increase the time needed for the
# recovery process.

# The number of outstanding connection requests MySQL can have.
