1. What is rAthena?

   rAthena is a collaborative software development project revolving around the creation of a robust massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG) server package. Written in C, the program is very versatile and provides NPCs, warps and modifications. The project is jointly managed by a group of volunteers located around the world as well as a tremendous community providing QA and support. rAthena is a continuation of the eAthena project.

1. Installation --------- This section is a very brief set of installation instructions. For more concise guides relevant to your Operation System, please refer to the Wiki (links at the end of this file).

• Windows

  • Install prerequisites
  • Create a folder to download rAthena into (e.g. C:\rAthena)
  • Right click this folder and select:
    • [svn] "SVN Checkout"

    • [svn] https://rathena.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rathena/trunk/
    • [git] https://github.com/rathena/rathena.git
  • Open MySQL Workbench and create an instance to connect to your MySQL Server
  • Create a database (rathena), a user (rathena), give permissions (GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE) and then login using the new user
  • Use MySQL Workbench to run the .sql files in /sql-files/ on the new rathena database

• Linux

  • Type: (For CentOS)
    • [svn] yum install gcc make mysql mysql-devel mysql-server pcre-devel subversion zlib-devel
    • [git]
      • yum install gcc make mysql mysql-devel mysql-server pcre-devel zlib-devel
      • rpm -Uvhhttp://repo.webtatic.com/yum/centos/5/latest.rpm
      • yum install --enablerepo=webtatic git-all
      • yum install --enablerepo=webtatic --disableexcludes=main git-all (For Debian)
    • [svn] apt-get install subversion make gcc libmysqlclient-dev zlib1g-dev libpcre3-dev
    • [git] apt-get install git make gcc libmysqlclient-dev zlib1g-dev libpcre3-dev
  • Type: mysql_secure_installation
  • Start your MySQL server

  • Setup a MySQL user:

        CREATE USER 'rathena'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
    

  • Assign permissions:

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

  • Type:

    • [svn] svn checkout https://rathena.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rathena/trunk/ ~/trunk
    • [git] git clone https://github.com/rathena/rathena.git ~/rathena

  • Insert SQL files: mysql --user=root -p rathena_rag < trunk/sql-files/main.sql (and others)

  • Type: cd trunk && ./configure && make clean && make sql

  • When you're ready, type: ./athena-start start

1. Troubleshooting --------- If you're having problems with starting your server, the first thing you should do is check what's happening on your consoles. More often that not, all support issues can be solved simply by looking at the error messages given.

Examples:

• You get an error on your map-server_sql that looks something like this:

      [Error]: npc_parsesrcfile: Unable to parse, probably a missing or extra TAB in 
          file 'npc/custom/jobmaster.txt', line '17'. Skipping line...
          * w1=prontera,153,193,6 script
          * w2=Job Master
          * w3=123,{
          * w4=
  

  If you look at the error, it's telling you that you're missing (or have an extra) TAB.

  This is easily fixed by looking at this part of the error:
  
          * w1=prontera,153,193,6 script
  

  If there was a TAB where it's supposed to be, that line would have prontera,153,193,6 at w1

  and 'script' at w2. As there's a space instead of a TAB, the two sections are read as a
  single parameter.
  

• You have a default user/password warning similar to the following:

      [Warning]: Using the default user/password s1/p1 is NOT RECOMMENDED.
      [Notice]: Please edit your 'login' table to create a proper inter-server user/pa
      ssword (gender 'S')
      [Notice]: and then edit your user/password in conf/map_athena.conf (or conf/impo
      rt/map_conf.txt)
  

  Relax. This is just indicating that you're using the default username and password. To

  fix this, check over the part in the installation instructions relevant to the `login` table.
  

• Your map-server outputs the following:

      [Error]: make_connection: connect failed (socket #2, error 10061: No connection
      could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
      )!
  

  If this shows up on the map server, it generally means that there is no Char Server available

  to accept the connection.
