Setup Aion-Core Developer Emulator on Windows 7 x64 Part.1

Software requirements.

1. Java SE Development Kit 7 (JDK 1.7)

Windows x86 (32bit) - jdk-7u75-windows-i586.exe
Windows x64 (64bit) - jdk-7u75-windows-x64.exe
http://www.oracle.co...ds-1880260.html

Setting the JAVA_HOME in Windows 7 (64 bit)

After you have downloaded and installed the Java Development Kit (JDK) in Windows, you must set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the JDK installation directory.

You must follow these steps to set JAVA_HOME variable on your Windows system.

• Right-click the My Computer icon on your desktop and select Properties.
• Click Advanced system settings link.
• Click the Advanced tab.
• Click the Environment Variables button.
• Under System Variables, click New.
• Enter the variable name as JAVA_HOME
• Enter the variable value as the installation path for the Java Development Kit as something like this C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_75

Example:



Now, JAVA should work.
 
2. Apache + MySQL + PHP

I recomand to use The Uniform Server as WAMP, instead of XAMPP from apachefriends.org

Uniform Server
A lightweight mobile WAMP Server Solution.The Uniform Server
http://www.uniformserver.com

Description

The Uniform Server is a lightweight server solution for running a web server under the WindowsOS. Less than 24MB! Modular design, includes the latest versions of Apache2, Perl5,
PHP (switch between PHP53, PHP54, PHP55 or PHP56), MySQL5 or MariaDB5, phpMyAdmin or Adminer4. Run from either hard drive or USB memory stick... NO INSTALLATION REQUIRED! NO REGISTRY DUST! Just UNPACK and FIRE UP!

Download and if you need help, visit theis forums at: http://forum.uniformserver.com

After you have The Uniform Server installed, your mySQL Server is ready.
 

Steps to setup your mySQL Server and database.

1. Change the "root" password.
http://wiki.uniforms.../MySQL_Security
Or with Navicat

Navicat


Install the gameserver sql databases

Aion-Core Developer needs innodb engine databases, not MYISAM.
How to setup this:

For example with Uniform Server
Locate your "my.ini"
F:\11_7_1_ZeroXI\UniServerZ\core\mysql\my.ini (database required: innodb)
Optional: Open with an editor and after the line;
#default-storage-engine=MYISAM
add
#InnoDB is faster for writes
default-storage-engine=INNODB
Restart mySQL
Gameserver
Open your navicat or other mySQL management utilities.
Select (click) your "Localhost" connection and make a new database.

New Database: ac47_server_gs


Select your new database "ac47_server_gs
Execute SQL File../import (example: F:\AC-Server\AC-Game\sql\ac47_server_gs.sql


Repeat exactly the above steps to make a Loginserver database

Select your new database "ac47_server_ls
Execute SQL File../import (example: F:\AC-Server\AC-Login\sql\ac47_server_ls.sql

Now, you have your databases ready
 
NOTE: remote access to database
If you have a dedicated server to host your Aion-Core Emulator and an other server your homepage, or simply you wish to remote access your mySQL Databases, you will need
to change some stuff as following:

Open Port 3306 (TCP) in Windows Firewall
Open Port 3306 (TCP) in router + 7777, 2106, 9014, 9021

Edit mySQL remote access in "my.ini"
For example with Uniform Server
Locate your "my.ini"

F:\11_7_1_ZeroXI\UniServerZ\core\mysql\my.ini

Change MySQL’s IP binding, change;
[mysqld]
bind-address=127.0.0.1
to
[mysqld]
#bind-address=127.0.0.1
Optional in your my,ini or my,cnf
#skip-networking
Restart mySQL
Grant remote access permissions to mysql server for external user

Select your local host connection
From the Navicat Menu, click on "Query" > New Query > Run
grant all privileges on *.* to 'voidstar'@'%' identified by 'OMG_tHis_is_mYpAssW0Rd##';
flush privileges;


Now you have remote access
 
Prepare the Loginserver database.
Select your "ac47_server_ls" and then the "gameservers" table.
Add:
Id:37
Mask:127.0.0.1 // do not add asterisk ( * )
Password: your_password

Save and Exit

Phew! That took a lot longer to compile than I expected. Not sure the late game is worth so much dedication.
Okay, I know, you don't need to tell me. There is no actually Tutorial for Aion Private Server Install & Setup.
And I'm very sure that there was never such a Tutorial written.

So if you like it and use it, feel free to Donate a few thousand dollars and if you have no money, I will accept a
