THX YOU a mysql for mac osx :D

I tried for a very long time to get Hawkeye to work with XAMPP for Mac OS X, and it could not connect.

I switched to this MySQL and now it works:

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/

Perhaps the version in XAMPP is out of date.

Does this work with Microsoft SQL Server?

This is one of the most complicated things I have ever tried to do with a plugin, and all the instructions are written under the assumption that you have prior Mysql knowledge. Please provide better documentation of how to tackle this under all three sections. Mostly the home one.

I have no idea where I am supposed to upload these files to, where to add passwords, change passwords, access the database via my browser. nothing.

Agreed. I even tried asking my hosting cmpany to install the plugin, and all they did was drop in the jar and point me to a guide on how to install MySQL... HawkEye is still not working and I have bugger-all idea what's wrong.

This wouldn;t be so bad if there were up-to-date alternatives...

Is there a way for you to connect to an external MySQL database?

I recommend using the server host "NFOServers" cause it has a Minecraft server, unlimited MySql databases, and webserver/website all in one package... It was a breeze to set up hawkeye on my server

@Valiantiam

I agree.  I have never setup an SQL database, but my windows server is apparently running it.  

A tutorial on how to install step-by-step would make this plugin far more popular.

Getting this everytime. Help?

latest version 1.0.7 work on CF 1.2.3 r2?

cool features, impossible installation/setup/configuration

This isn't hard to setup.

For a server owner, understanding how to set up essential things like mysql databases should be a breeze - there are tutorials ALL over the web for ALL oses and to make your life easier, things like wamp, lamp, mamp exist.

Read a tutorial or look into it, don't expect someone to guide you through step by step for an installation process every server owner should understand.

Powerful plugins require powerful tools.

Hey, my hosts told me to leave database empty but it just automatically changes to minecraft on startup. how can I stop this from happening?

I have worked with MySql many times before, so I know that I have everything set up right, but with the latest version of the interface, No results ever appear. The loading bar just keeps loading and never stops. I know that it is accessing the correct tables because if I type in a username that is not in the hawk_players list, then the search fails. But, otherwise it just keeps loading loading loading and nothing ever appears. Am i doing something wrong?

Very very nice.

I really wish hawkeye would update, logblock sucks...

Guys when I run my hawkeye i get an error saying Hawkeye cannot connect to Msql using password YES. And i can log into phpmyadmin with no problems. Anyone have an idea how to fix this and plz me very detailed im not so good with this stuff. Thx
