The configuration files in

• code/ryzom/server
• code/ryzom/tools/server/ryzom_ams/www/config.default.php
• code/ryzom/tools/server/admin/config.php
• code/ryzom/tools/server/www/login/config.php

expect your user to be named 'shard' with NO PASSWORD. If you decide to use a different name for your MySQL user, or assign it a password, you will need to go through the files and change these values from 'shard' and "" wherever they appear. (they appear in several .cfg files)

Since this (and a password) can lead to unexpected errors (eg. error '4000') it is best to make sure everything works correctly with the defaults first.

If you are getting strange errors some config files may have Windows editor "control-M" endline characters, which appears as a blue ^M in vim. You can remove it with this vi command, noting that ^M is typed by pressing Ctrl+V followed by Ctrl+M:

find /home/username/ryzom/code -name "*.cfg" -name "*.php" | xargs grep -l '^M'   # if there are none, Vim will gladly eat your shell if you xargs it vi <listed filename>   # Next issue this command to vi :%s/^M//g
