Yeah, getting started can be a little overwhelming. It's natural to want it to work exactly like you think it should right away. But it's relying, initially, on your information to be set up a specific way too. When it's not, you have to make a couple of adjustments to get it on the right track.

Some things that helped me get over that initial hump:

1) Use the Search function simply putting in your error message as the search criteria. Go to Advanced Search and select the Mod Forum as the search area.

2) I seem to credit jmm with everything, but I think he told me to attack the first error message as usually everything that goes wrong after that is likely related to the first one. He was right. There may be another problem as you get it set up, but always pay attention to the first error message you get and then follow step 1 again. There's more info there than you think.

3) Depending on which version you're using there might be some variation in the language or directory referenced when you read posts of assistance. But with a little logic you can translate it into the current version 6.1.4 if that's what you're using.

4) Somewhere in the mismatch concept was an instruction to use the find and replace function to rid a file of the entries for players designated r instead of p, as in r1486.html or .txt instead of the normal p1486.* I did end up having to use this tool. There were only 2 entries, but it got me over that hump.

It's well worth the effort you put in on the front end if you can hang in there. I'm far from an expert, but I'll recall best I can the snakes that bit me. If any look like yours I'll chime in. Good luck.
