      Requirements

      • CentOS or an RPM-based Linux that has the yum command
      • root access or access to an account that has sudo privileges
      • an Internet connection to download install packages

      Prerequisites

      All of these commands will be typed at the command-line interface.

      Install Prerequisites

      1. Login to your server via SSH, or if you are already logged into a GUI press Ctrl+Alt+T to open a terminal window.
      2. Type the following command (this will install GCC, Make, MySQL, MySQL header files, MySQL Server, PCRE header files, Git, and Zlib header files)

      yum install gcc make mysql mysql-devel mysql-server pcre-devel git zlib-devel

      yum -y install dos2unix gdb nano screen unzip wget zip

      Create a non-root Linux user

      By the principle of least privilege, it is recommended you do NOT run Hercules as root.

      Type the following command to create a non-root Linux account:

      useradd --create-home --shell /bin/bash hercules1234

      Configure MySQL

      Set a root password

      The default MySQL Server install creates a MySQL user ‘root’@’localhost’ with NO password. It is recommended you create a password for the root user.

      Run this command and follow the prompts: Firest Start MySQL:

      mysql_secure_installation

      Create SQL database for Hercules

      1. At the MySQL prompt, type this to create a database (replace hercules1234 with the Linux username you created earlier):

      mysql> CREATE DATABASE hercules1234_rag;

      mysql> CREATE DATABASE hercules1234_log;

      Setup a MySQL user for Hercules

      mysql> CREATE USER 'hercules1234'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'secretpassword';

      mysql> GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE ON `hercules1234\_rag`.* TO 'hercules1234'@'localhost';

      mysql> GRANT SELECT,INSERT ON `hercules1234\_log`.* TO 'hercules1234'@'localhost';

      Install Hercules

      Login as your non-root Linux user

      The rest of the setup is done as hercules1234 (the Linux user you created in step 2.2)

      1. Logout from root SSH (or minimize the window).
      2. Login to your server via SSH as the hercules1234 Linux user.

      Git Clone

      Type the following to create a Hercules working copy in your home (~) directory

      Import MySQL Tables

      mysql -u root -prootpassword hercuser_rodb < main.sql

      mysql -u root -prootpassword hercuser_rodblog < logs.sql

      mysql -u root -prootpassword hercuser_rodb < item_db.sql

      mysql -u root -prootpassword hercuser_rodb < mob_db.sql

      mysql -u root -prootpassword hercuser_rodb < mob_skill_db.sql

      mysql -u root -prootpassword hercuser_rodb < item_db_re.sql

      mysql -u root -prootpassword hercuser_rodb < mob_db_re.sql

      mysql -u root -prootpassword hercuser_rodb < mob_skill_db_re.sql

      mysql -u root -prootpassword hercuser_rodb < item_db2.sql

      mysql -u root -prootpassword hercuser_rodb < mob_db2.sql

      mysql -u root -prootpassword hercuser_rodb < mob_skill_db2.sql

      NOTE: if you want to use different SQL DBs for login/char/map servers this is the list of databases each server use:

      1. login-server: global_acc_reg_num_db, global_acc_reg_str_db, ipbanlist, login, loginlog
      2. map-server: autotrade_data, autotrade_merchants, mapreg, npc_market_data
      3. char-server: everything else

      Note that the sql_updates table is needed by all three servers.

      Configure Hercules

      Compile Source Code

      cd Hercules ./configure make sql

      How to Recompile

      In the future (after you update or edit any file in /src) to recompile, add make clean before make sql:

      cd Hercules ./configure make clean make sql

      Start your Hercules Server

      //change access mode of athena-start file so that you can execute it. //Use (dos2unix athena-start) if yo uare getting ^M errors ie. newline errors chmod a+x athena-start

      //To Start ./athena-start start //To Stop ./athena-start stop //To Restart ./athena-start restart
