Mac user needs help setting up mysql with bukkit

Assistance needed in setting up and using mysql with craftbukkit

 

Me too, let me know if you succeed

 

Maybe we can work this out together
I'm trying to get MAMP http://www.mamp.info/en/index.html to work but can't seem to set a new root password to protect it or config bukkit to use it.

Ok got MAMP up and running.
Solved the root password problem.
Created a minecraft database.
Now all I need is help linking craftbukkit to it so it can be used.

Nicely done, im trying with XAMPP, and gettng nowhere.

ill try MAMP

 

Code:

database:
    username:
    isolation:
    driver:
    password:
    url:

If anyone can help me config the bukkit.yml file so it can use the db
I would be most grateful.

 

Yeah i have been looking for help with mysql for a while now with mac, anyone get it running?

 

Unless they added something to the recent RB, that file still isn't used and doesn't need to be set up to use MySQL.

 

Craftbukkit doesn't use mysql afaik :S. Some plugins do, but they are well documented so you should be fine!

 

I'm setting it up for plugins.

It's being set up for plugin use.

Plugins use theire own mysql settings, that bukkit.yml wont do anything

 

Then what is for

Persistence
PreciousStones now requires MySQL

Sample bukkit.yml
Code:
database: username: root isolation: SERIALIZABLE driver: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver password: yourDBpassword url: jdbc:mysql://localhost/minecraftInstructions

• Create a mysql database called "minecraft"
• Change the username and password on the bukkit.yml to match your database's credentials
• Place the bukkit.yml in the same folder that contains the craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
• Load up pstones

 

Someone who decided to use something that doesn't belong to them and the answer to your question.

 

What he said ^

 

Do you mean PreciousStones should not have used the bukkit.yml for the plugin
and if so will it create problems for me in the future?

 

Usually, plugins won't share configs because it can cause problems when one plugin owner needs to change something. In this case, I don't think this file was even meant to be released yet so who knows what they might change when they are ready. Then again, maybe this is exactly why the file was released.

 

Thanks for the info Jeyge
