Creating WoW Private Server the easier way (perhaps)

Update : You can browse this site software category if you’re looking for my mangos release or my custom mangos release … btw i’d suggest you to get my mangos release first because it has been tested with WoW 2.2.3 and will be updated frequently (even easier than anything written on this old post because i already include everything you need to run your own wow private server except for mysql program of course)

Or you can also look at the recent software section located at the footer section of this website to see the new update to my mangos release :)

This is the old version of my WoW Private Server Guide, the new version that gives you a detailed step (with images) can be found at below links :

  1. Installing MySQL
  2. Setting up the Mangos
  3. Just in case you want to create lan party
  4. Setting up the webserver to put registration page

Maybe my previous post about creating WoW private server is a little bit confusing for some people and that’s why i create another post on how to set up world of warcraft private server once again but this time … i promise it is not going to be confusing like before :D … and actually i should be thanking everyone who put comments on my previous post, because of their comments i was able to get new topics for my blog … hahaha

Okay and that’s all on the introduction part … now let’s start the guide, but before that please keep this in mind, this guide tested with 1.12.1 World of Warcraft Client (known as WoW Classic) non modified in any part and tested to work with Mangos Revision 3462, but this guide can also be used if you’re going to create The Burning Crusade server although you’ll need to get different database dump from someone else, and of course getting the newer mangos release :

Required Software

1. Mangos Revision 3462 : The mangos release is compiled by Maxi and this release also include the following patches :

  • ScriptDev2 R34
  • Honor 0.71
  • MCH 1.5c

And just like i said to make thing easier, i upload this mangos release (just in case Maxi reading this, and he does not want me to upload his file here … let me know immediately so i can remove it … because i already forgot where i get his release) .. i think it is from his userbeam / beam something folder

2. Complete SDB with Changesets 156 : Because there’re problem for some people when importing each changeset, i decided to release the SDB used by me … and this SDB updated till changesets 156

But i also include, the create database, and realmd database to make thing even easier

3. MySQL : Essential program, the above 2 files can not be used if you dont have this installed :)

4. Map & DBC Extractor : This is tested to work with World of Warcraft Client version 1.12.1 and Mangos Revision 3459 and Revision 3462 only

But just as i said before, to make thing simpler. I’ve uploaded the DBC Files (maps not included because the file size is bigger than i thought, and my connection speed is nothing compared to all of you) .. and that means all you have to do is just using the ad.exe / map extractor to extract the WoW Maps

Mirror to download the above files if you’re having problem with Megaupload :

  • Complete SDB Dump for Mangos 3462 WoW Classic
  • Mangos 3462 by Maxi
  • World of Warcraft 1.12.1 DBC Files

Let’s Start

I assume you’ve already downloaded the required software and already installed it (for more in-depth WoW Mangos installation please refer to my previous post)

1. Install the MySQL Software and configure it accordingly, in this example MySQL installed in C:\MySQL and using the default root password which is blank

2. Extract the Complete Database file somewhere in your harddisk, and you’ll see there’re 3 files :

  • create-database.sql
  • realm-database-full.sql
  • mangos-full-for-rev3462.sql

Run it by using this command (this time i make sure to use the default path instead of using command which is already set in environment variable path) from Start Menu => Run => cmd (this cmd can only be used in Windows XP) or command (Win9x) => and change to the extracted directory :)

  1. C:\MySQL\bin\mysql.exe -u root < create-database.sql
  2. C:\MySQL\bin\mysql.exe -u root -D realmd < realm-database-full.sql
  3. C:\MySQL\bin\mysql.exe -u root -D mangos < mangos-full-for-rev3462.sql

Note : The create database will also drop your realmd and mangos database if it is found .. i do this in order to make thing easier (how many times did i say this words in this post) lol

Yet another Note : Extract the database into the same path where your MySQL bin located, or if you already extracted it somewhere adjust the path like below for example :

C:\MySQL\bin\mysql.exe -u root < X:\where_SDB_extracted\create-database.sql

3. Put the downloaded DBC Directory somewhere, in this example C:\WoW\Data\DBC

4. Copy the ad.exe into your WoW installation directory also create directory called maps and run it .. and wait till finished and move the maps directory into C:\WoW\Data\maps

5. Extract the Mangos file somewhere, for example C:\WoW\Mangos. And open the mangosd.conf and edit the DataDir into something like below

DataDir = "C:/WoW/Data"

If you’re using the example path given in this guide, you can use the above datadir configuration

6. Run the mangosd.exe and realmd.exe …. and you’re finished :D configuring the server

7.I’m sorry i forgot to write the last step in this post (thanks to GreekSoul). Now since you’ve finished configuring the server all you have to do now is configuring the client (WoW game) to connect to your server instead of using the default / official server. And it can be done by open the realmlist.wtf in your WoW Game directory and change the realmlist into 127.0.0.1 … and you’re all set

Common Question

I create this part thanks to all the commenters before … especially to metaltildea, PepsiG, Xtonic, luke, Venomz, etc

Q : hay me again it works but the CMD thing it says that the thing u wrote up dosnt exist on the second time
so it wont make the directory :(

A : If you tried to run the mysql command directly without setting it to use the env. variable path, you’ll get that error message … also CMD only work in Windows 2K (correct me if i'm wrong because i already forget about it) and Windows XP (guaranteed to work)

Q : I forget about the signs that dont let me post it.. ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user `username @ localhost` (using password: NO)

A : That error message means, you’re trying to use wrong password for a username, username does not exist, etc .. but in this case, you’re trying to use non existent username (because it was an example)

Q : ERROR 2017 (HY000): Can’t open named pipe to host: . pipe: mysql (2)

A : If you’re trying to use named pipe (this mysql feature only can only be used on NT series such as Windows XP) and you havent configured mysql to do so .. you’ll get that message … to fix it you just have to put below line into you my.ini file (do not forget to restart the mysql service after you done)

enable-named-pipe

Q : Can i import the official data from Blizzard server into my mangos server ?

A : The answer is no, because … blizzard is using different server software which is not available to public .. and no one have access to their server :P ..

Q : my add.exe wont run in my wow map

A : Did you create the maps folder first ? if you did not create it you’ll get an error message. Also you’ll need to run it in your root directory of your WoW installation directory

Q : I can’t run ad.exe or MPQE

A : Im sure there’re missing runtime in your windows system, try downloading and installing below 2 files first and see if it’s fixes the problem or not

- Microsoft .NET 2 Runtime
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package

Q : ERROR 1264 at line 294: Out of range value adjusted for column ‘waittime’ at row 1

A : You’re trying to insert value higher than the allowed value specified in your mysql table … but in this case, this error message seems strange, because i have no problem importing the SDB files including it’s changesets … and that’s why i create this post and upload my database dump :)

Q : I want to be a GM in my mangos server

A : Look at the step #10 in my in-depth explanation on setting up mangos server (do not copy paste the text directly because it’ll give you error message) … and if you get other error message just leave comment here :)

Q : What are the GM Commands ?

A : After making your account to be a GM account, type this ingame .commands and you’ll see available commands to use

Q : My friends can't connect to my server ?

A : Try checking your configuration especially at port configuration, and make sure there's no conflict

Okay that’s all for now … i’ll be sure to update this post / create new post if i found something new from you :)

    Hello GreekSoul

    Did you ever installed mysql before ? btw what is your operating system ? is it windows xp ? if it's windows xp try typing this at the Run in start menu

    services.msc

    and look if mysql service already installed there or not

    if it's already installed, try right clicking on the mysql service and choose Start

    # ME24

    Ah it seems you're trying to set up mangos for LAN ? if that's the case try editing the realmlist table in realmd database, and configure it to use your lan ip address instead of the default 127.0.0.1

    I Was Asking myself about that , i tryed to Do It But i dont find the mangosd window and i dont know where to enter the commands to create an account

    10. Now you can connect to your own server, if you want to create new user account you can do so by typing create username password from the mangosd window (it’ll create normal user account). But if you want to create GM account you can do so by typing this from normal command line (type cmd in the run command) and type below lines :

    where i type these lines ? in the mangosd window , but where i can poped out this window ? i don't find where i can start this window .... sorry its very embarrassing but i don't find where i can pop out these window!!!!! thx for taking of your time to answer me ! very apreciated !

    dont worry about it, beside that's what this comment form used for :)

    and actually you type it in real command prompt window (type cmd at run) and then continue to type the sql query and you're finished

    but you can also use mysql client to do the same thing if you don't want to type the whole sql command

    yes its possible to create high rate server like that because all you have to do is just edit the mangosd.conf and set the XP rate from Quest,etc into 10000 or more ;)

    but i do not recommend you to set drop rate higher than 10 (i tested it in 1, 5, 10, 100, and 1000) .. both 100 and 1000 drop rate cause problem with quest

    # GreekSoul

    hm .. if you cant connect to the mysql server on localhost, im sure the mysql service is not started. try start the mysql service first by using below command (type it in run)

    net start mysql

    if the mysql service cant be started try searching for *.err filetype in your mysql directory and post the log here :)

    # carbon

    im sure there's something wrong with your mysql configuration .. maybe you could try posting the error log here, so i can see it ?

    to look for the error message, search for a filename *.err in your mysql installation directory and then open it using your favorite text editor (for example notepad)

    # Dhaka2

    if you could tell me which step you're stucked at maybe i can tell you how ... or if you could give me a suggestion on how to improve this guide further :)

    You can use the search function (i mean windows search function) to search your harddrive for MySQL :)

    # Helimaster

    I believe you're trying to use the ad.exe with WoW TBC client (i've received several email asking this too) .. and the answer to that question is ..

    if you use TBC client, you'll need to get the newest ad.exe first (you can find it in mangosproject forum)

    as for running the sql files, all you have to do is install the mysql first and then open the command prompt and do the rest .. there's no other program involved :)

    # Ed & pk-kyo

    Which file doesnt exist ? i guess you're trying to execute the sql files ... and if that's the case try switching the current directory first into where the sql files extracted ;)

    Hey Reaper-X. Thank you very much for taking so much of your time to write these guides, as well as help everybody out who is having difficulties.

    Maybe you could help me out. I have everything downloaded, installed, and configured. I start up my server, and I log in successfully. I see my realm come up. I then try to click on my realm and go to the character page, but that does not happen. I just keep getting stuck on the page that shows me the realm I just made. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!!

    I have server working on my current machine, but I cant seem to connect using my other machine. It goes up to the part where you choose your realm and it keeps on asking even though I've pressed okay button many times... Do i have to install mysql for both machines or just the one thats hosting it? (having trouble connecting to the server on the other machine) I've setup the realmlist.wtf already. (set realmlist My_IP_Adress[192.168.xxx.xxx]). I don't know what to do at this point, to make the other machine able to connect to my current one thats hosting the thing.

    # Avalanche, Nincb123 & cinnam0nr011

    Im sure you guys already changed the IP address set it realmlist table, right ? so other can connect to your server

    but if you still havent changed it here what you should do to change your IP address in realmlist table :

    note: adjust the MySQL path accordingly

    - open command prompt and type below command
    - C:\MySQL\Bin\mysql -u root
    - Use `realmd`;
    - UPDATE `realmlist` SET `name` = 'The server name',
    `address` = 'Change this to use your public IP' WHERE `id`=1 LIMIT 1 ;
    - quit;

    also dont forget to open port 8085 (the default port used) if you're using firewall

    # cinnam0nr011

    Do i have to install mysql for both machines or just the one thats hosting it? (having trouble connecting to the server on the other machine) I’ve setup the realmlist.wtf already. (set realmlist My_IP_Adress[192.168.xxx.xxx]). I don’t know what to do at this point, to make the other machine able to connect to my current one thats hosting the thing

    No you dont have to setup mysql on client machine, all you have to do is just change the IP address in realmlist.wtf to use the server address used previously (it's the sql command)

    # Nincb123

    Were you able connect to your own server locally (not LAN / Internet) ?

    # Steve

    I am pretty sure I have done everything required, but when I try log into WoW, IT comes up with:
    unable to validate game version…

    If you get that message, im quite sure that there's a problem with your WoW installation

    I might just start over again? Also, I find that the detailed guide is alot easier to understand than the new one.

    Hahaha .. yes .. actually i made this one dedicated to those who's keep getting sql error message (quick and dirty fix) by uploading database dump

    but i think i should make a screenshot too :)

    # Carom

    When I run mangosd, it gives me the following error

    Error in ‘item_template’ table, probably sql file format was updated .

    What WoW Version you're running ? is it 1.12.1 (Classic) or 2.x (Burning Crusade)

    Try adjusting the path to where you installed MySQL

    By default (if you didnt change the installation directory path when installing MySQL 5) the mysql bin can be found in :

    C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin

    # Fredd1

    Did you get an error message ? and if you did .. what is the error message ? if its the same error like Caseyk ... then adjust the path accordingly :)

    # cinnam0nr011

    Do you have firewall installed ? also were you able to connect to your own server (and play) it using the LAN ip address ?

    Yes I was able to play it, it was using the LAN IP Adress, and Yes I do have firewall (AVG Free Edition). I've tested with firewall both closed and opened.. oh and

    I didnt see anything wrong with your mysql installation (it seems working fine)

    and as for :

    ERROR 1054 (42S22): Unknown column ‘Change this to use your public IP’ in ‘field list’

    try typing this first like in real example below and see if the column number are same or not :

    C:\Documents and Settings\Someone>mysql -u root
    Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
    Your MySQL connection id is 4 to server version: 5.0.xx

    Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

    mysql> use `realmd`;
    Database changed
    mysql> SELECT * FROM `realmlist`;
    +----+-----------------+---------+------+------+-------+----------+
    | id | name | address | port | icon | color | timezone |
    +----+-----------------+---------+------+------+-------+----------+
    | 1 | The server name | 1234567 | 8085 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
    +----+-----------------+---------+------+------+-------+----------+
    1 row in set (0.00 sec)

    mysql> quit
    Bye

    forgot to tell you this, if you didnt set mysql in environment variable path ... adjust the mysql path accordingly :)

    btw if you type the update command correctly it'll show you something like this (btw you must change the ip address into number first because it cant accept string) :

    C:\Documents and Settings\Someone>mysql -u root
    Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
    Your MySQL connection id is 3 to server version: 5.0.xx

    Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

    mysql> use `realmd`;
    Database changed
    mysql> UPDATE `realmlist` SET `name` = 'The server name',
    -> `address` = 'Set the IP Address here' WHERE `id`=1;
    Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
    Rows matched: 1 Changed: 0 Warnings: 0

    mysql> quit
    Bye

    C:\Documents and Settings\Someone>

    as an addition, you can copy paste the command from here (i mean this comment) directly, i've encoded the special character to make thing easier :)

    I was able to set up my server and create a regular account with no problems and logged in and played. The problem now is that I can not make a GM account. I have entered exactly what I was suppose to in the cmd window and when i type USE 'realmd'; it says data base changed and then I enter in the next set of things but nothing happens. Then when i type quit nothing happens. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I think I've done everything like you said. Thanks for your help.

    # Danman

    When you type the INSERT INTO did you get response like this :

    Query OK, 1 row affected

    If you get that message that means its already written into the database .. and you just need to login using that username you just created ;)

    # LukeZ

    There are 2 possibilities :

    1. Your system missing the runtime required
    2. You forgot to create the maps folder first before running it :)

    as for the ERROR Message :

    Maybe you will be able to help me if I make it easier on you.
    This is what I do in the cmd:
    mysql -u root -p
    I enter my password
    USE 'realmd';
    Then it says Database changed
    Then I type:
    INSERT INTO `account` VALUES (NULL, 'username', 'password', '3', NULL, NULL, NULL, '', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, '0', '127.0.0.1', '0', '0', '0000-00-00 00:00:00', '0');
    and I type it continuesly on the same line with the auto wrap around with no returns or anything like that. But when I hit enter nothing happens except a arrow appears on the next line like it wants me to type something else. I think I am entering that last line incorretly. Should I hit enter and a certain point? All your help is wonderful.

    as for your question :

    2007-05-16 13:09:29 ERROR:Could not connect to MySQL database at 127.0.0.1: Access denied for user ‘mangos’@'localhost’ (using password: YES)

    if you were using database from this site, did you run (i mean execute) the create_database.sql first ? before launching the mangosd process and realmd process ?

    and if you use database and mangos release from another site, try go to the sql directory located in your mangos directory and run create sql first :)

    Hello! There's just one problem about this. What do I do to get Mangos Revision 3462 and the other things? When I click on the link it takes me to the site for Megaupload. I've already downloaded it but it still doesn't want to work. Do you have any other links?

    Thank You Very Much Reaper-X i can now run Mangosd.exe and realmd.exe, they both seem to be working.

    mangosd all loads up and starts saying the zeppelin is moving...and such

    realmd says wot is says ( i read a post where some 1 asks about it and u say it fine.

    BUT... wen i load up WoW (witch is not the normal one i play with my account, it is another 1 i installed then changed the name of the original) and try to login, it says Disconnected from Server.

    also i don't have any idea wot my username or password should be for logging in to the server, i'm just putting in any random letters

    Could you be more specific about this ?

    also i don’t have any idea wot my username or password should be for logging in to the server, i’m just putting in any random letters

    If you dont want to create new account, you can use the built in account from Mangos

    here's the username you can use to login :

    full access

    - username : administrator
    - password : administrator

    GM access

    - username : gamemaster
    - password : gamemaster

    do you mean restore your WoW so it can play on official server again ? if that's your question

    the answer is yes

    you just need to edit the realmlist.wtf in your WoW installation directory and change the 127.0.0.1 into :

    us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com

    Hope that help :)

If you could point me in the direction of a really good emulator source and Database source that works good with this version id be greatful, it seems alot of the emulator links are outdated or dead due to blizzard cracking down on stuff. thanks

    # Snaef98

    I believe it'll not work with the trial version, but recently i just talked with someone over MSN, and he says he has a problem with his mangos TBC downloaded from torrent and when i saw carefully it seems that he downloaded mangos and database (which is not work on his full version) that can be used on trial version so i think maybe you should try searching for it (since i forgot the url)

    # Kotz

    I believe you're trying to use incorrect password / username for your mysql account ... did you change anything when installing mysql ?

    If you can make install wow to use different path and registry, i think its possible although i havent tried it yet :D

    Maby I am missing something but when I try to run the ad.exe from within my normal working wow directory it displays some errors that appear to mean it can't find the files. They appear like "Opening ./Data/patch-2.mpq" Then you get "Error opening archive ./Data/patch-2.mpq" I actually found a patch.mpq another file it wanted and when i put it in C:\data\patch.mpq the error went away in the ad.exe program but it still can't continue after about the fourth MPQ file it says something about an Assertion Failed: and some header things and then like it wants a file from a D: drive. Is there some way to get it to stop or is this just a result of the missing MPQ's from before the error?

    I managed to fis the other issue I was having by downloading another version of the ad.exe program now mangos complains about a map file being non-compatible "Map file 'c:/wow/data/maps/0004331.map' is non-compatible version (outdated?). P
    lease, create new using ad.exe program." Thought maby it was a new map and mangos could not run it with the version I have so I moved the map file but it needs that file apparently so i put it back and continue to get the same old error message.

    I am sure I must just be missing something. But I am unable to connect to the local server even though all the server parts appear to be functioning, at least they are doing something without displaying an error message. I have downloaded mangos, MySQL, the SDB, the Extractor, and the DBC downloads from above followed the instructions and appear to have the server running the mangos screen shows alot of this thing moved to x,y type information and the realmd program seems to be ok it says something about adding a realm and the process being set to high priority. Then I change the realmlist.wtf file to "set realmlist 127.0.0.1" and launch it using wow.exe running version 2.1.x.x the latest version blizzard has out. It would come up to the main login page with the dark portal in the background and the music asking for username and password. Then say that it can't verify game data and that something is corrupt. I then try reinstalling wow then bc and patching up to version 2.0.12.x the version pevious to 2.1.x.x and change the wtf file and get the same problem. I then try another reinstall of wow and then loading bc no patches change the wtf file and again same problem. Is this a problem with my installation of wow or am I missing something from the server that the client does not recognize it as a server and trys to get to blizzard? Please help.

    RE: Daniel
    It kindof sounds like your sql installation directory is no longer in the path. During the MySQL Server Instance Configuration there is a step where you can install MySQL as a service (win 2k/xp) and also set it to be included in the path system variable. To check open a command prompt (cmd.exe), then at any point in the command line type path and press enter. The system will list a bunch of directories, one of these should be C:\(MySQL Install Location)\bin. For example if you followed Reaper's Installation it would be C:\MySQL\bin. If the path is missing you can re-run the configuration wizard and change the settings to include the Path setting. Hope this helps.

    in my.ini (typicly in c:\Program Files\mysql\mysql server 5 or c:\windows) and add the following value to the file

    # SERVER SECTION

    skip_grant_tables = 1

    this should allow you to log in to your database, because the grant tables are skipped when mysql is loaded (in services)

    also, I *PERSONALLY* recommend the mysql user name be "root" and the password be anything you want, MySQL will work better that way

So im begging for pro help. If you get this please help me :) Im not sure where to extract etc, I have TBC installed so im guessing nuke that. and start over.

    This is the bit im stuck at:
    2. Extract the Complete Database file somewhere in your harddisk, and you’ll see there’re 3 files :

    create-database.sql
    realm-database-full.sql
    mangos-full-for-rev3462.sql
    Run it by using this command (this time i make sure to use the default path instead of using command which is already set in environment variable path) from Start Menu => Run => cmd (this cmd can only be used in Windows XP) or command (Win9x) => and change to the extracted directory

    C:\MySQL\bin\mysql.exe -u root

    Actually even if you have TBC installed you can run TBC server too, but you'll need to get newer version of Mangos and the database itself of course (try visiting their page) because the version posted in this page can only be used on wow classic only (and its my database dump)

Also when I open wow I can log in, but when I get to the Realm Selection Every time I try to Enter the realm It keeps bringing me back to the Realm Selection Screen.

    Yet another Note : Extract the database into the same path where your MySQL bin located, or if you already extracted it somewhere adjust the path like below for example :

    Are you sure the mangosd.conf and realmd.conf is in the same directory where mangosd.exe and realmd.exe can be found ?

    # Tesmai

    Actually if you dont set environment variable for mysql, you need to use full path in order to use mysql. Like this for an example :

    Mysql not set in env. path :

    C:\mysql\bin\mysql.exe -u username -p

    Mysql in env. path :

    mysql -u username -p

    thats it :)

    # JeremiahMan

    Ah ... if you get that error message that means the maps you've extracted isnt compatible with the current mangos you're using

    if you use TBC client you need to get the latest ad.exe from Mangos svn repository to extract maps :)

    but if you're not using TBC client then you can use the ad.exe from here (its the old version of ad.exe)

    OK, I had the right version of it but I had the mangosd config file set to the wrong path I had it set to C:\Wow\data and I reset it to C:\World of warcraft\data and now I dont get the error message, But the Mangosd.exe opens and closes real quick to. ( I think this is causing me not being able to get to the char select screen) I seen you wright in an earlier post about asking if the config was set up right What should the config for mangosd look like. If you could post it that would be great (For WoW Version 1.12.1)

    I've also notice if I dont set up the sql right that the realmd.exe wont open up. the realmd .exe is opening up and staying open for me now But do you know any Idea why the mongosd isnt working? If you can email me Jeremy@alliancelaser.net that would be great.

    Hi, this is amazing content, I was wondering if this could be set up on a web host server over the internet where my friends and I could play by logging in from anywhere?

    I am not very PC literate and and was wondering if you could please help me out with setting it up for me, I could even pay you $100 for the effort, I know its not much but its what I can afford at the moment.

    Please let me know, Thanks.

    Thanks :-)

    Xearo IF your having trouble with your command just put in>>>>> CD C:\ (where ever you have mysql installed)>>>>> EX: C:\Program files\mysql\mysql 5.0\bin

    Or if you have mysql set up to run in command just type in mysql. If your running vista I prefere you do it like this though C:\Program files\mysql\mysql 5.0\bin

    ATTN: If you dont want to go through the steps of setting up an account on mangos, on your log in screen then for user name type in Gamemaster
    and Gamemaster for your password. Once you create your charcter Type in .gmon and you will become a Gm. Once Gm is turned on you can type .com to see a list of commands you can do.
    If you need any help with anything email me Jeremy@alliancelaser.net

    Darkspw TBC will work with a newer version of mangos. Scroll up on the forum it will tell you how to do it.

    Xearo - Hmm are both programs open (The mangos Cmd Window, And the Realm CmdWindow. Both need to stay open while you play. If they are open what username and password are you using. Try using gamemaster for the username and gamemaster for the password let me know

    Jeremiah i'm using something called BlackStorm V1 (which literally just does the exact same thing just does it automatically) It uses only one cmd. should I just manually do it? If so, the cmd from windows always starts off in
    C:\Documents and Settings\Xearo\>
    everytime i type commands from above it just says that's not a valid command.

    Ok, after reading all of this, and messing around with my setup, I have mangos running (i can see it moving the zeps and boats and things of that nature), and realmd starts up fine.

    The problem that I'm having is I cannot log in. As ambiguous as that is, all it tells me is that the version i am running cannot be validated. I am using Mangos v3462 and Running WoW BC 2.1.1.

    I'm n00bish enough with SQL, but not too n00bish to figure out from reading all the posts and searching thousands of other forums that I need to have at least Mangos v3463 or later to support TBC. I am confident enough that I can figure it out from there, but I cannot find >= v3463 alone. I'd rather not download the unecessary 280mb packages available. I just need a link to where I can d'load the version of Mangos that supports TBC. Please help!

    Hey Context That's because your using the wrong version of mangos. That version works for only 1.12.1 WoW Classic version If you want to run TBC 2.1.1 You need to get a diffrent version of mangos , Maps.(ad.exe) and The Sdb files. you can find them here http://www.mangosproject.org

    # Xearo

    Put it in your wow game directory and dont forget to create folder / directory called maps first or you'l get an error message

    # KoolT4

    Actually you dont need hacked / cracked copy, all you need is just set up mangos server, edit the realmlist table ip address to use your lan ip and then configure each client to connect to the ip server used on the realmlist table :)

    # paladin112

    Paladin if the mangos / realmd process as soon as you started it, try looking at the server.log in your mangos directory

    Well i got everything ok. the only thing left is when i type the thing into the cmd

    the -u root thing.

    it just moves to the next line and the name of the window changes to:
    C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe -mysql.exe -u root

    then it goes to the next line down from the -u root command and has an underscore... i cannot type anything at all. only thing i can do is close it. does that mean it worked, if so why was that important?

    Johnathan, this is either a firewall issue or a player issue when it comes to connecting.

    Firewall: Make sure people can cannot TO your computer
    Player: They can simply click cancel and try again. It's literally that simple.

    As for your Bloodelf and Draenei make sure your server is running Burning Crusade and that their accounts are set for TBC.

    Ryan, to answer your question, most people will not create servers that are up and trying to gain population here (from my knowledge, neither Jeremiah nor ReaperX have a full-time-server but i could be wrong and plus: GM status is usually only given to people the main GM knows they can trust 100%

    If you have spaces in your Directory (ex: C:\Program Files\) Make sure you put the spaces. Also Make sure after you type the -root Put In C:/(where ever you extracted the Realm-database.sql) I recommend you put it in your sql\Bin Directory on your hard drive.

    Ok, let me apologize in advance if I fail to clarify my problem.

    I am currently having the following problems:

    1. I attempted to run MangosD.exe; it started and closed in roughly 1 second. I went through all of these posts (on this and the old topic) and the repeated response is "check your log", so I did. The only error reads

    ERROR:Check existing of map file '“C:/WoW/Data”/maps/0004331.map': not exist!

    So, naturally, I went to my directory and checked it out. The file does indeed exist. I'm looking right at it.

    2. This is most likely directly related to problem (1), but, when I attempt to run WoW (I put a seperate installation of classic WoW to test the self-server waters and see if this way my kinda thing or not) it gets an error (even if i use the gamemaster username/password) that reads something along the lines of:

    "Unable to validate game version. This may be caused by file corruption or the interference of another program" (and then gives the wow error web address)

    So once again, I searched these posts. The common solution listed here is that it is related to TBC patch, but the version I am running for this server experiment is the 1.12 one (busted out the discs and the old patches and everything.) and not TBC at all.

    -Is this error because I have 2 folders of WoW, one pure and with TBC for use on the WoW servers, and this classic one for use for this one; or is this error because of problem #1, the suddenly shutting down mangosd.exe that for some unknown reason can't find the map file that actually is there??

    3. I cannot make a GM account in Mysql if my life depended on it. I'm simply not grasping the problem, when I type the insert into 'account' line and then the values data it, instead of processing it, starts a new line that begins in
    ">
    Though after reading more of this post it doesn't seem to be that big a deal as long as I use the Gamemaster/Gamemaster thing that comes with Mangos (should I be graced enough to get it to work x_x)

    Sorry for the long post, I await your response, it's not the end of the world if you can't respond soon (but I must admit these errors are ticking me off some)

    Hey gum drops I had the same problem when I was setting up the server. The way I corrected this was Uninstalling EVERYTHING! THE MYSQL, MANGOS DELETING THE MAPS ETC. Get ride of all the files. Some times you might have dupilicate files and for some reason it messes up everything. After you get ride of everthing.................By of course uninstalling then going through Directory's and deleting the files that were left behind. Then Just redo everything and you should be good!

    Little Stu try uninstalling Mysql.... Do this by going to Start menu Mysql Mysql Server instance config and stop the instance running. After that Go to My computer Control panel Uninstall/addprograms and uninstall it from their. After that go to Mycomputer C Drive and where ever you installed mysql and delete what ever it left behind after it was uninstalled. After Deleting it then you should just reinstall it. I had to do it about 3 times to get it to work right. Are you using Windows Vista?

    So If I restart my PC (normal startup), what programs do I need to start to host a server? Clicking on Mangosd.exe and realmd.exe? When I do that, Mangosd opens, runs stuff, then disappears really quickly, but no errors. Realmd opens and stays, the text says:

    Database: 127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;realmd
    Added Realm "ReaperX".
    realmd process priority class set to HIGH

    Is there anything else I need to run?

    I need to set my server to accept players off of my network, what do I do to allow them?

    Finally, I didn't understand you instructions on how to create GM accounts and player accounts, can you spell it out to a newb like me?

    Thanks so much

    # Tjikijiki

    The most important program is of course the mysql because mangos will not work without it :)

    as for creating GM account you just need to do the same step like importing the mysql with the exception this time you're going to run different command

    # BigBoss

    What problem ? mangos process close itself ?

    mangos process close itself automatically = incorrect configuration / database

    open the server.log in your mangos directory and look for the error message as for the rest you just need to adjust everything based from that error message ;)

    common error message :

    Q : map not found / anything related to map
    A : extract map from your wow installation using ad.exe

    Q : Mysql related error
    A : adjust your mysql username (this is the most common problem i've seen from various email i get) or adjust the database and username accordignly

    # Brutus

    Which SDB you're using ? it seems you're not using compatible SDB / WoW Database version designed for the mangos version / revision you're running

    # Gregory

    MySQL 5.x Community edition should do the job ;)

    # underdeath

    Depending on your wow version and mangos revision that error message could means :

    - You're setting up WoW TBC server using and try to connect to the TBC server using WoW Classic .. and you'll get that error message

    - Another program / you modified WoW data (if you didnt edit anything then you dont need to worry about this)

    ahahaha .. im sorry if i didnt answer, im sure i miss that question :)

    to get 1.12.1 client (i assume you've installed the previous update) ... you just need to search it using google here's an example :

    http://www.google.com/search?q=1.12.1+client

    it'll give you the result (btw it seems that 1.12.1 client words are famous since i dont use any other keywords after it) :P

    # BIGBOS

    There are two errors from that log

    1. realmd.account doesn’t exist

    Solution : reimport the sql files (to make thing easier, reimport all the sql files)

    2. @MANGOSD_DATA@/maps/0004331.map

    Solution : you didnt change the datadir in the mangosd.conf, you need to change it and adjust it to your data path

    # Divinity

    That error message means you dont have InnoDB configured on your mysql installation, try reconfigure mysql

    if you use the mysql server instance config wizard enable the transaction database :)

    note: mysql server instance wizard automatically installed when you install mysql 5, if it doesnt exist try downloading the 40++ MB (full mysql) instead of the small version

    that error message means :

    you didnt import the realmd database into your sql, or if you're using different database name for the realmd, try adjusting the database name from the mangosd.conf

    and thats why it says the mangosd process cant find realmd database

    # Xearo

    if you intend to create public server or want to make registration page so your friends can register to your wow server, you need to install PHP with Apache

    and then to make thing simpler, you can download simple registration page for mangos (i think there's a good one at mangos website, although i havent tested it)

    You need to make sure your using all the files from here, Also make sure you have game version 1.12.1 It will not work if you dont have the right game version. Also you might want to uninstall Mysql and start from scratch before redoing.

    # Bigbos

    as i said before you didnt import the realmd sql, you need to import that file first or you wont be able to run the realmd process successfuly ;)

    btw which database version you're using and where did you get it ? i ask this because lots of people asking me via email that they're using wow mangos downloaded from torrent and not downloaded it from mangos website or sdb website

    as a note, mangos release already included the realmd sql that need to be imported although you'll need the SDB for a fully working mangos server

    that's it ;)

    # Bigbos

    Im in progress of creating new guide but this time with screenshot of all progress :)

    as for TBC ... basically the setup process is still the same as creating non TBC (setting up mysql, etc), with the only differences :

    1. You need to get Mangos revision above 3462
    2. You need to get SDB (Database) above 0.6.2

    that's it ;)

    # maker103

    Well .. if you're running tbc server (mangos), try downloading their newest release with the latest SDB

    Hello

    Well ... first of all if you use sdb from this site for TBC server it wont work because you'll need recent version of mangos TBC server

    but that error message got nothing to do with mangos itself even for the recent version because the realmd database wasnt successfuly imported

    to correct this you need to use this command (from command prompt) :

    mysql -u root -p -v -D realmd < realm-database-full.sql

    to import the realmd sql file into Realmd database

    Since i never use a Mac before i dont know if Mac is supported by mangos or not

    but if you have Virtual Machines software installed on your mac, perhaps you can run the mangos under the virtual machines (you can choose between Win XP or various Linux distro) ;)

    # Moko

    Ah .. that error message appear because you're not using compatible database (for example you use the old mangos revision and using the recent database)

    try getting newer mangos revision also make sure it is compatible :)

I start mangosd and it starts and i see the ships and what not changing locations. This tells me the server is active. However when I try to log in with WoW it says invalid username and password everytime.. I have accounts in realmd/accounts.
    When i open the realmd window i see this "SQL: SELECT 'I','id','locked','last_ip','online' FROM 'account' WHERE 'username' = 'OPEN'

    as for the realmd, try creating user account from the mangosd window (for example create test test)

    and try login to your server. If you get the same message try reimporting the realmd sql only

    The error that your getting is that you are not on the right version of wow. You need to be on a version that is tied to your DBC files and your maps. And even vmaps if your using them.

    WoWFreak

    Is your realmlist set up right on your client(you)? It can be found in your root directory of WoW. it's name is realmlist.wtf
    it should look like this
    set realmlist

    Another thing to check is in the database "realmd" you want to look for a table called realmlist. In here you will see a field named "address" make sure that is set to your WAN(Wide Area Network) ip. If your unsure of your ip go to http://www.google.com and type in
    my ip click the first link towards the top and you should now have your ip.

    Last thing I can think of is if your router is set up correctly. You want to forward port
    8085 to the local ip address of your server ex. 192.168.25.154

    And thats about it. Just make sure that you have realmd and mangos running at the same time and that you have all the information set up right. And if your running the servers on the same computer that your trying to play on you can't use localhost or 127.0.0.1 you HAVE to use your WAN ip.

    Hope this helps...Cheers

    You can't move talk or see anything?...

    The only thing I can think of is that your scripts got messed up some way. Try this

    Download another revision from http://mangos-files.de what you want to do with this is extract it to a place you can find it. Then look in the root directory for a file called MaNGOSScript.dll copy that file and replace it with the one that your using.

    Side note: mangos must not be running when you do this, I was looking at the code on a few revisions and if you use .loadscripts it will create a memory heap. Not 100% sure on that so don't quote me but thats just what I've seen.

    Sorry for the late replay.

    I'm still not 100% sure what your trying to do. But my guess is that you are trying to run mysql

    try this

    cd C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin

    then type: mysql --user= --password=

    so it could look like this
    mysql --user=root --password=123

    Hey I think I followed your guide a while back and every thing worked in the first try. I am a Software Developer so I already had experience with mysql server and php so it was a quick install. I was also able to figure out the IP change within the database so other computers within the lan could log in to my server. The only problem I have now is mylauncher update WOW to the latest patch and I can't seem to connect to TBC Server any more. Is there any thing I can update to fix that?
    thanks

    faisal, sorry i am new at this but i think to update the verion of WoW you have, change the relmlist to the original WoW relmlist (there is none) and log in with ur normal account so it can update and just keep doing it untill there r no more updates left, then you can go and change the relmlist and then it should work ;)

    If u ever need a Trustworthy GM

    I have been a GM in many other servers and will be glad to help out for a little bit if u need it.

    Note I am not Good with Mysql and stuff like that though.

    Well yea hope I could help ur server for a while.

    Thankyou. ;)

    Hi Reaper, I've been waiting over a month now for your respone, so I'm assuming you missed my huge post. I followed Jeremiah's advice and I am having the same problems, so here it is reposted:

    Ok, let me apologize in advance if I fail to clarify my problem.

    I am currently having the following problems:

    1. I attempted to run MangosD.exe; it started and closed in roughly 1 second. I went through all of these posts (on this and the old topic) and the repeated response is “check your log”, so I did. The only error reads

    ERROR:Check existing of map file ‘“C:/WoW/Data”/maps/0004331.map’: not exist!

    So, naturally, I went to my directory and checked it out. The file does indeed exist. I’m looking right at it.

    2. This is most likely directly related to problem (1), but, when I attempt to run WoW (I put a seperate installation of classic WoW to test the self-server waters and see if this way my kinda thing or not) it gets an error (even if i use the gamemaster username/password) that reads something along the lines of:

    “Unable to validate game version. This may be caused by file corruption or the interference of another program” (and then gives the wow error web address)

    So once again, I searched these posts. The common solution listed here is that it is related to TBC patch, but the version I am running for this server experiment is the 1.12 one (busted out the discs and the old patches and everything.) and not TBC at all.

    -Is this error because I have 2 folders of WoW, one pure and with TBC for use on the WoW servers, and this classic one for use for this one; or is this error because of problem #1, the suddenly shutting down mangosd.exe that for some unknown reason can’t find the map file that actually is there??

    3. I cannot make a GM account in Mysql if my life depended on it. I’m simply not grasping the problem, when I type the insert into ‘account’ line and then the values data it, instead of processing it, starts a new line that begins in
    “>
    Though after reading more of this post it doesn’t seem to be that big a deal as long as I use the Gamemaster/Gamemaster thing that comes with Mangos (should I be graced enough to get it to work x_x)

    Sorry for the long post, I await your response, it’s not the end of the world if you can’t respond soon (but I must admit these errors are ticking me off some)

    gumdrops, ill see if i cant help you, your mangos problem is probally in your map files -ie- they are outdated for the version of mangos your running, try getting a new version of mangos with an ad.exe with it and getting new maps. or its in your sdb giving incorrect values.
    2. your "unable to validate game version" is due to you mangos and wow client not being matching versions, i know for a fact sdb 4096 and mangos revision 4096 work for 2.1.2., and yes your 2 versions of wow (not sure how you did that my computer stoped me everytime) is probally causing some problem,
    3. for you gm account, get mangos working, then allyou have to do is "create charname password" to make a new logon then "setgm charname 3" use 3-6 for diff gm levels
    little hint check mangos-file.de for the 4096 revision and "e-turray.com/file/mangos/sdb/?dir=" for the sdb
    hope that helps

    After the latest patch. I can't connect to the server. It says the versions are not correct. Well the error doesn't say that but it's pretty much means that my client has a different version than what's expected by the server. Is there are way to update/patch the server so it can run the latest Blizzard patched client.

    e-turray.com/file/mangos/sdb/?dir= is good for sdb
    mangos-file.de.vu is good for mangos revisions. both update fairily often just need to see what works, i dont rembember witch versions i used, sorry

    I used the version mangos u provided, still when i run REALMD.exe it does not load completely, instead it freezes on the (last line) "realmd process priority set to HIGH" shouldnt there be a user input after that? My ad.exe works perfectly on extracting the maps, I even made sure to get the latest version, but my MANGOSD.exe will play russian roulette with loading the maps (sometimes it will sometimes it displays an error) "ERROR:Map file 'C:/WoW/Data/maps/0004331.map' is non-compatible version (outdated?). Please, create new using ad.exe program." I dont know whats going on, I might have screwed up on a step or two since I began... also I cant seem to put a user in.. it would be better of a help if u contacted me via IM on msn.

    actually the last line for realmd window / process is that line :)

    as for the map problem, which ad.exe you're using ? is it the map extractor from here ? or using the new ad.exe from somewhere ?

    as a note, the ad.exe from map-extractor is tested only for mangos 3462, and if you've downloaded new ad.exe version, then i'd suggest to use the mapextractor from here instead

    Run it by using this command (this time i make sure to use the default path instead of using command which is already set in environment variable path) from Start Menu => Run => cmd (this cmd can only be used in Windows XP) or command (Win9x) => and change to the extracted directory :)

    C:\MySQL\bin\mysql.exe -u root

    but I changed my Environment Variable path to

    C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin

    so when I open CMD why doesn't it have

    C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin

    nonetheless I put in my folder directory where I put my databases in.

    C:\Program Files (x86)\CompleteDB
    and all I get is a 'C\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command.

    I have all databases in a seperate folder like it says in the guide, but this CMD / MySQL is driving me crazy.

    I don't understand why this isn't working i'm not else sure what to do if theres any alternative or if you could direct me on what im doing wrong it'd be much much much appreciated

    thank you very much.

    to create account you can simply use the create desired_username desired_password from the mangosd window

    and about your previous question, the answer is yes, you'll need at least 1.12.1 (WoW Classic)

    you can get update for your wow classic from various website (fileplanet, filefront, etc) :)

    I might be using an outdated version of mangos and its loading only a percentage of the WoW content, for example some instances won't have enemies (in Outlands), wont load some of TBC items, glitchy mobs, and Illidan is in front of Black Temple lol.

    That error message mean, you haven't created the mangos username on your mysql database yet

    try reimporting the create-database (it'll delete all of your mangos related database) or you can just simply run these commands from command prompt :

    1. mysql -u root -p (enter your root password when prompted)

    2. GRANT USAGE ON * . * TO 'mangos'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mangos' WITH MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR 0 ;

    3. GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `mangos` . * TO 'mangos'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION ;

    4. GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `realmd` . * TO 'mangos'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION ;

    5. quit

    that's it

    as a note, if you change the database name / if you're using a modified mangos, the above commands might / might not work for you

    Cannot connect to world database 127.0.0.1;3306;root;root;mangos.
    So then i tried doing:
    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `mangos` . * TO ‘mangos’@'localhost’ WITH GRANT OPTION ;"

    And so I tried doing what reaper-x said but i got another error message saying:
    "ERROR 1064 : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySql server version for the right syntax to use near ''mangos' . * TO 'mangos'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION' at line 1"

    1. GRANT USAGE ON * . * TO 'mangos'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mangos' WITH MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR 0 ;

    2. GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `mangos` . * TO 'mangos'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION ;

    3. GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `realmd` . * TO 'mangos'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION ;

    as an addition, i've edited my previous comment to show the correct syntax :)

    so i set up my server. it works fine. i can get my friends on it any everything.

    but alot of the items do not work. for one, both green warglaives of azzinoth do not work, when i spawn the items that it shows in the ".lookupitem" command, they are some old version of the warglaives that are red and have different stats.
    also the arena gear is old, and the setup of that in the hall of honor is different then in real wow.

    im wondering, is there a new data ump or data file for the new setup that i can dload somewhere for the new weapons and stuff?

    A good explanation about URI can be found here :

    # Sleeperx

    Are you sure you're using the correct password ? or try creating new account with GM Level

    # Aaeon

    Actually the process for creating TBC server is just the same, with the exception when creating TBC server you need to download the newer revision of Mangos and SDB from the respective website :)

    Thanks Mike, and about your question, it can be caused by several things like :

    1. You havent changed the realmlist used into your own server ip address

    2. Database is not properly imported / loaded

    3. and more

    but as for now, i'd suggest you to look into the realmlist.wtf file inside your wow game directory

    # Sleeperx

    Didnt work for you anymore since upgrade ? try looking at the realmlist.wtf file, to see if it's using your mangos ip address or wow official ip address

    #Jon & Anteaus03

    Try looking at the second part of my new guide ... and if you're looking a tested mangos revision including it's download link, look at the update part

    as for anteaus problem

    that error message was caused because you didn't import the sql file properly

    # Tailee

    Could you tell me which wow server version you're trying to create ? the TBC or classic server ?

    Winrar is just a good archiving system. If you can extract them just google winrar and get the program.

    Ok i sorta got it working better now, i did what youtold someone else to do in the same situation as me (error 28000 i think): That error message mean, you haven’t created the mangos username on your mysql database yet

    try reimporting the create-database (it’ll delete all of your mangos related database) or you can just simply run these commands from command prompt :

    1. mysql -u root -p (enter your root password when prompted)

    2. GRANT USAGE ON * . * TO 'mangos'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mangos' WITH MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR 0 ;

    3. GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `mangos` . * TO 'mangos'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION ;

    4. GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `realmd` . * TO 'mangos'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION ;

    5. quit

    i did that, mangosd.exe still closes in a second, but realmd.exe just stays open saying:

    Database:127.0.0.1'3306;mangos;mangos;realmd
    added realm "reaperX".
    realmd process priority class set to HIGH

    What am i doing wrong?

    Try opening the server.log file inside your mangos directory (it'll shows you what caused the mangos process to exit) ;)

    anyone knows a place to find some game master commands?

    if you actually have a server running and made you account, did setgm ACCOUNT_NAME 2-3, type .commands it'll tell you what you can do...

    Also

    other ppl can’t get on my server, they can see it, but if they try to connect it says: logging on to the server… and then you get back to the server select screen … anyone knows what im doing wrong?

    you have to go into the realmlist database as I told someone else on the configuring mangos part of the guide, and add a new row to the realmlist table, name the realm what ever you want, figure out your wan IP by going to whatsmyip.net, set the IP on the second realm to this IP adress, forward port 3724 and 8085 to the computer that's hosting the server, and edit the realmlist.wtf to say this...

    set realmlist WAN_IP_ADRESS
    set patchlist WAN_IP_ADRESS

    -----------------------------------

    Ok i sorta got it working better now, i did what youtold someone else to do in the same situation as me (error 28000 i think): That error message mean, you haven’t created the mangos username on your mysql database yet

    4. GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `realmd` . * TO ‘mangos’@'localhost’ WITH GRANT OPTION ;

    i did that, mangosd.exe still closes in a second, but realmd.exe just stays open saying:

    Tom, when you setup the database initially did your mysql commands look like this in the prompt?

    cd /d C(or D):/mangosdirectory/SDBfolder

    mysql -u root -p -v(optional for the matrix stuff lol)
