How do you update a Windows server to the latest update?

Post by IceJdog » Sun Nov 03, 2013 9:48 pm

I created a private server about a year ago, now I'm need to update it in order to play with new friends, that have the updated client. How do I get the server and client to match?

I tried doing a SVN update, but it says that "Working copy 'C:\dsp' locked." and "'C:\dsp' is already locked." I've tried to turn off read only, but it doesn't seem to stick.

eh, you could try svn release lock, not sure what the issue is there

svn update is the end goal, though (and rerunning the .sql files in navicat)

I go to release the lock, and it says that nothing is locked. Run update again and it errors, because it's locked.

I might have gotten it. I chose clean up, and it unlocked it. Now I'm running the update. How do you rerun the sql in navicat?

right click dspdb -> execute batch file

warning you that you'll have to modify the char tables that changed manually, unless you're okay with losing character data

Everytime I run the Execute SQL File it errors out. Any ideas?

BTW thank you for your help.
