Configuring Mangos for TBC Server or WoW Classic Server – Setting up Private WoW Server
Posted by Reaper-X Jun 28 2007 6:07 pm
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 second part of the Creating your own World of Warcraft Server using Mangos
- The First part is all about Installing and Configuring MySQL on your Windows Machine
- The Second part is about Configuring the WoW Mangos itself
- The Third part is all about Setting up Private WOW Server for Lan Party
- The Fourth part is all about Installing and Setting up Apache Webserver with PHP
Okay and before i start i’d like to warn you first especially to those who’s using Dial Up Connection because there are a lot of images used here and the previous mysql installation guide although i’ve optimized it further
Without further ado … here’s the guide ;)
Requirements :
If you’re planning on creating :
– The Burning Crusade Server :
Compiled Mangos Revision 3900 or above for Win32 / Windows (the latest revision compatible with latest SDB at the time i wrote this post) but feel free to upgrade it later if you want but do not forget to update the SDB tooSDB Full Dump by Ozay Turay (to make thing simpler) that is compatible with Mangos Revision 3900+Latest Ad.exe to extract map from Mangos SVN RepositoryLatest DBC Extractor
Okay i’ve decided to upload my own compiled mangos to make thing easier, for more info see this new post
Btw … the installing mysql part is still the same … so if you need information on how to install mysql refer to the part 1
Note : Since most people who compiled Mangos for Win32 already included DBC and Map Extractor in their release you should use that one first. And unfortunately i can not give direct link to the files so you must try it by yourself and judge which version is the best for you :)
Btw some people prefer (especially to those who’s using high speed internet access – not me of course –) to download the extracted maps and dbc from somewhere rather than extracting it directly so if you are using the same high speed connection you might like to use this option
– World of Warcraft Classic Server :
- Compiled Mangos Revision 3462 for Win32 / Windows by Maxis
- Compatible SDB Full Dump for Mangos 3462 with Changesets 156
- Compatible Map and DBC Extractor
That’s it … unfortunately since it is using the old mangos revision you’ll notice more bugs compared to latest / newest version for TBC … and since i dont have TBC Client installed, i can only give you a how to guide to configure your mangos server based on my experience when doing remote assistance to someone who asked for help via MSN
Btw if you’re going to create WoW Classic server you can use my extracted DBC Files
Side Note : Basically since there are no differences on creating WoW TBC Server and WoW Classic Server the only thing you should change is just the filename … don’t worry if you don’t understand what i’m talking about right now, soon you’ll know about it :)
Creating Directory Structure :
Okay i assume you’ve finished downloading all the required stuff and now its the time to configure your mangos. But before that you need to extract the required files first into your harddrive and organize it before starting to configure mangos (although this step optional but i think organized directory structure looks better but that is just my own opinion)
Look at the image below for a good explanation about this :
- The daemon directory is where you should extract the mangos program itself
- The data directory is where you should put the extracted maps and dbc folder (soon you’ll know about this process)
- The SDB is just a temporary directory to be used when importing the SQL Files
Extracting Maps and DBC Files from World of Warcraft Game :
Now this is when the ad.exe and dbc extractor came. But first we are going to use the ad.exe. And here’s the step
- Copy the ad.exe into your WoW Game directory (usually C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft)
- Create folder called maps
- Run the ad.exe and wait until its finished
- Move the maps folder into C:\WoW\data (if you’re using the same directory structure like me)
After you’ve finished extracting maps now it is the time you use DBC Extractor … and here’s the step to use it
- Extract the MPQE.exe (and it’s dll if available) into your WoW Game Data directory (C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data)
- Create shortcut to the MPQE, right click on it and choose properties and adjust it’s target into “C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data\MPQE.exe” /p dbc.MPQ DBFilesClient\*.dbc
- Run the shortcut and wait until it finished
- Rename the DBFilesClient folder into DBC
- Move the DBC folder into C:\WoW\data (if you’re using the same directory structure like me)
If you want a more detailed explanation look at the screenshot below
and then the shortcut properties
Importing the SDB Files :
Okay we have finished extracting the maps and dbc files required for mangos, now we need to import the database first before you can run mangos program
and here’s the summary on how it done :
If you’re going to create WoW Classic Server
- Extract the SQL files from my mangos sql dump into C:\WoW\SDB (if you follow my directory structure)
- Open Command Prompt
- Run the sql query from the command prompt (look image below for an example on how to use the query)
and here’s what it’ll looks like when it’s finished
Note : Because some people prefer to see the importing process (some say it’s like Matrix .. lol), i decided to use -v (verbose) switch but if you prefer not to see it you can safely remove the -v switch
If you’re going to create TBC Server
Here’s the summary on how it’s done :
- Extract the SDB Full Dump for Mangos Revision 3900 into C:\WoW\SDB
- Extract the Mangos Program / Archive into C:\WoW\Daemon\Mangos
- Go into C:\WoW\Daemon\Mangos\SQL
- Copy the create_mysql.sql and realmd.sql into C:\WoW\SDB
- Open the Command Prompt
- Execute the same query as above but adjust the filename first
An example on how to execute the query is like below (you must do this in order) and using the same path as the above image
- mysql -u root -p -v < create_mysql.sql
- mysql -u root -p -v -D realmd < realmd.sql
- mysql -u root -p -v -D mangos < the_filename_used_on_sql_dump_from_e_turray.sql
And that’s it you’re finished importing the database required :)
Editing Mangos Configuration :
You’ve finished extracting maps, dbc and already imported the database required but now what else ? of course you need to edit the mangosd.conf file itself
Now here’s the summary on how it is done :
- Go into C:\WoW\Daemon\Mangos
- Open the mangosd.conf using wordpad (you can not edit it using notepad, because it is using Unix Line Break)
- Change the datadir into C:\WoW\data
- Save it
Now here’s some screenshot of the mangos configuration file editing process :
Make sure everything is working as it should :
Now you’ve done almost everyting required to make your own wow private server … now before started playing it you need to make sure that everything is okay before starting to connect to your own server
Here’s how it is done :
- Run the realmd.exe (C:\WoW\daemon\mangos\realmd.exe)
- Run the mangosd.exe (C:\WoW\daemon\mangos\mangosd.exe)
- See if one of the above process close itself automatically or not. If one of the process close itself automatically after launched that means there’s something wrong with your configuration try restarting the configuring process from the beginning
And now here’s the screenshot if your mangosd and realmd process is working as it should :
The last step for configuring mangos and wow, editing the Realmlist used by WoW to connect :
After everything is okay, now there’s one more thing left for you to do … which is editing the realmlist.wtf file inside your WoW Game directory (C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\realmlist.wtf) using your favorite text editor. You can use notepad or wordpad to do this
The default realmlist.wtf file should be like this :
set realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
and then change it into
set realmlist 127.0.0.1
Creating Test Account for yourself :
Okay now you’ve created and set up everything but there’s still one more thing left and that is creating a test account with normal player status for yourself. And this process is really simple actually all you have to do is just typing this on the mangosd window (above image)
create desired_username desired_password
Okay that’s it you just created a test account that can be used to connect to your own wow server. If you get error message and / or stuck at realm loop i’m sure there’s something wrong with your configuration or you’re not using compatible mangos / wow client
That’s all for this part … stay tune for the next part ;)
As a side note, this is the first time i’m using lots of images on my guides and i’m looking forward to your opinion about this (tell me if you like it this way or would you prefer text with few screenshot or images) :)
Update :
To those who’s still having problem with Mangos like finding the correct mangos version,etc. I’ve decided to upload my own compiled Mangos Revision 4431 with Scriptdev2 241, and also included DBC Extractor (Thanks to XLayer for his DBC Extractor) and VMaps Extractor. And also mirrored the SDB 0.7.3 with Changesets 208 from http://opensvn.csie.org/NewSDB
And here’s the file :
Mangos 4431 with ScriptDev2 124SDB 0.7.3 with Changesets 208
Another Update : See my new post about new Mangos 4488 Update with Silvermoon Database … and tested with WoW 2.1.3 Client … just look at the screenshot below
All you have to do (i assume you’ve completed all of the steps involving mysql installation, and also already extract the DBC and VMaps files) is just :
1. Import / Overwrite the database with this new SDB (if you want the easiest way to start all over again from the Importing SDB step, you can execute the create-database.sql inside my Mangos 4431 archive (in reaper-sql directory) using this command :
mysql -u root -p < create-database.sql
mysql -u root -p -D mangos < SDB_0.7.3_Changeset_208_Rev1.sql
mysql -u root -p -D mangos < reaper4431.sql
Note : Make sure you’re in the same directory as the create-database.sql and the SDB_0.7.3.sql when executing that command
2. And then the next step is, importing the sql files inside the scriptdev2-sql directory (2 files) like below example (must be in order) :
mysql -u root -p -D mangos < scriptdev_full.sql
mysql -u root -p -D mangos < scriptdev_additional_req.sql
And you’re done :)
Perhaps the above might sound confusing for some people, so if you need help just leave comment here
Here’s a screenshot taken using Mangos 4488 Scriptdev2 134

Hey there. I can’t figure this guide out. If someone else out there figured this out, or if Reaper-X sees this, please send me an e-mail, or add me to MSN so I can get a walkthrough. I also don’t know what to patch my WoW to in order for this to work, and I can’t get every file required. Some of the links are broken. My E-mail is ERietdyk@hotmail.com. Add me to MSN or e-mail me if you can help me for a few hours while I get this set up.
Hello, the guide work perfectly except for one thing, when i try to use the MPQE extractor it tell “Application Error The application doesn’t be able to start coorrectly (0xc0000135). Click OK to stop the application”
Do you have any idea??
Yea but how do you get the source for it
Well, I might just set up an Antrix server. I know most private servers use Antrix, and everything just works better with it. It’s more updated aswell and Black Temple works, I believe.
In Mangos BT doesn’t work (ofcourse there’s a way to change that, dunno how though)….
Great guide, you’re awesome!
Sorry!!!
i ment to say that the version of 2.0.8 instances was working the NPC’s wasn’t flying around or disapearing the only thing that wasn’t working was the misions for the two new races and the outworld the rest was fine so what i’m saying is I know it is out there whe just need to find it.
Had a 2.08 version of Mangos but Blood Elves and outland had no missions and creatures, so there must be a way how we can fix this bug we just need to find the right update for this mangos version
Yea mine does it when GM mode is on too. And GM mode is when you can do almost anything, Spamike (although many of the commands don’t seem to work). You grant GM powers to players or yourself by entering the mangos command prompt and typing setgm AccountName 2 (or 3 is admin). Though I did try 2 for my friend and he couldn’t execute commands so maybe 3 is GM and 4 is admin even though the setgm command lists only the values 0-3.
Anyway, this is great, dont get me wrong. I appreciate the private server stuff, but it is disappointing at the moment. I know there must be working Mangos and SDB’s out there with working instances or the famous ones wouldnt be so famous….right???
I suggest that those of you who are disappointed with the versions you’ve downloaded try different combinations. If we all do, surely someone will find a working one…unless it doesnt exist lol.
Mine is doing it even when Gm is on
What is “GM Mode?”
???
Or changed
I’m having the exact same problem as you guys. O_o
Quite stupid, as it only happens when I have “GM Mode” turned off.
Yes please post the link here. it will be apreaseated. or if ther is a code that needs to be entered
I have the same problem and I’m trying to find a working SDB and Mangos combination that will fix it…however, everyone seems to be saying that everything for all of the versions of SDB and Mangos work like a dream with little errors. However, when you can’t do an instance because the mobs fly off or the bosses fail to trigger events/phases/specials, it makes for a very lame game that is unplayable in my opinion.
Anyway, I’m trying to find something that works. If anyone does before me, please post the links. Thanks.
Thank’s Benz
Been playing a few times and notice that the NPC’s in the dungeon’s when you are attacing them they just disapear or fly into the air or disapear under ground how can i fix this any ideas i’m running mangos 4067
go to the following link, and look about 1/2 way down the comments list. it’s by a guy named PepsiG, and the comment was posted on May 6th.
http://www.reaper-x.com/2007/04/19/how-to-configure-mangos-the-world-of-warcraft-emulator/
good luck, bud. it worked for me, so i’m sure it will work for you.
Draco,
I have a 2.1.2 server set up on two different computers, and I was having this realm list looping on it. I read a guide on how to remedy it on another part of this Reaper-X guide, by a guy named PepsiG. It involved using SQLyog, and it was a simple process. In the end, it got rid of my looping, and I was able to log in. . . . funny how it only happened to one of my two computers . . . *scratches head*
anyhow, I’ll go back and search for the link, and I’ll post it.
By the way, does anyone know how to add Tier 6 to your own server? I found several files on the internet but none worked or either were for Antrix Servers… Is it even possible for mangos servers?
Draco
have you followed the steps of the third part of this guide, “Setting up WoW Server for LAN”? if you have then Im afraid I dont know how to fix that..
Awesome guide, 10/10 , zomg :D
And keep screens, helps alot

ok so i decided to just make a classic server like you , and everyhting worked out fine, but i had to copy the maps to the new folder and i guess theyre all there. im nto gettign any more error messages, although, i am getting those 2 thing when i run relamd.exe and mangosd.exe. they’re not errors but nothing else is loading =/ my AIM screenname is BAKERBOARDSROK93 so if im on it and we havent solved this problem by then, then could you IM me(i saw that u said u were talking to someone on MSN, my msn isnt working right now, so i hope you have AIM =/)
I am having a similar problem as Sean. I get all the way to where I run the mangosd and realmd.exe. I get the errors below:

. . . . evidently my and Draco’s problem is commonly referred to as a realmlist loop.
@ Draco,
Mine is doing the same thing. My server is set up on one of my computers, and the mangos and realmd exe files run just fine. I can create accounts, etc. I forwarded ports 3724, 8085 and 3306 (for my mysql) to the server computer.
And TBC game is installed onto another computer. I can log in and see my server on the list, but when I click to connect to it, I see the window saying “Logging into server,” but then a few seconds later it loops me back to the server list screen. . . . and I can click my server only to be brought back to that same screen. . .
Anybody have a resolution to this?
Hey, ive got this setup and working for TBC but i was wondering is there any more upto date databases ? im missing certain NPC’s and items from V2.1.3 aswell as alot of random mobs are spawning in places they shouldnt :/ also stats dont seem to be applyed/calculated correctly from gear.. this is with “SDBFull-203-4123.rar” from 1 of the links in your guide
Valery
Thanks again.
My next problem is when i try to to connect to the server from another computer i get connected but when it gets to select realm it just keeps on looping it does’nt whant to get where you can create caracter.
PLEASE help anybody.

hey ok i worked all day on this. =P and everything is working find except for the MPQE.exe thing.
when i run it a command prompt pops up, then goes away really fast. i dont even have time to read what its saying. this happened to me before for another game when i was trying to install it i think. but i re-downloaded it and that works fine
-but thats gettign off subject.
and because i cant run MPQE.exe, and extract the DBC files, i get error messages saying that things aren’t installed; im pretty sure that this is the only thing that isnt working =/
here are the command prompts when i run mangosd.exe and realmd.exe:

Problems with my server (using Mangos 4067 and the respective files) v. 2.1.2:
Mobs will sometimes aggro and fall through the world or rise upwards. Especially in instances.
Many GM commands do not work, such as the .kill or .learnskill commands. What files do the commands come from?
The scale of some bosses is off and none of the bosses in the entire world use their special attacks (e.g. various phases in the fight do not trigger).
Anyone else having these problems? Anyone fixed them?
terox, if you did the links that valery set up its for 2.1.2 and if your running 2.1.3 it will not work you need diffrent version of mangos (or update the one you have) and new sdb at least 4119 to get 2.1.3 to work, mine is working but has some weird problems but forthe most part works just fine, if you like ill see if i can get links to all the stuff for 2.1.3 and repost later.
Maker, if your doing tbc you need to change the dbc.mpq to expansion.mpq
also make sure when you setgm that you put a number behind your name 3-6 is the level 6 is the highest with abilities to edit in game npc’s
I put the target as
C:\ Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data\MPQE.exe /p dbc.MPQ DBFilesClient\*.dbc
Now did i mess up somewhere?
I am wondering when i place the dbc shortcut and stuff like that the target i put (I think the one u told me) sends me to Presario C: ?? I dont think it needs to be like that? can you please help me?

first create a regular account

thank you updated and it works i’f used a map extractor i found on the mangos site.
here is a question how do you set up a gm acount in mangos. what do i need to type in for it to work.
I’m interested in that too. If anyone tried working with a 2.1.3 working Mangos version and the corosponding files and you got it to work, please post your links. I tried a mangos version that was supposed to work with 2.1.3, but it didn’t. However, I also didn’t really know what I was doing at the time and I do now….so yea. I might try it again, but if you got something like Mangos 4134 (or whatever) to work, I beg you to tell me : )
what do i need for a 2.1.3 server?
ok lol, sry for all the posts. I just realized that I need realmd.exe running too, not just mangos.exe. But now the error I get at the logon screen is:
Unable to validate game version. This may be caused by file corruption or the interference of another program.
Oh I forgot to mention that my wow version is 2.1.3 I don’t know if that has anything to do with it.
Alright, it seems that the server is working – mangosd.exe and realmd.exe both work fine. I can run mangosd.exe and create a new account but when I try to log into wow it just says ‘unable to connect’. I set the server up to be TBC i’m using all the files that Valery told us to download for TBC. Also I can’t figure out how to make a gm account. I looked at Reaper-x’s old guide and did everything he says to do but after I enter:
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′);
the input line just changes to “> and anything I type does nothing. I don’t know if this means I created the account but I doubt it.
-Your help is much appreciated :)
Nevermind, I figured it out. I had my dbc files in the World of Warcraft data folder and not the one I created. Thanks Valery :)
What did you do to make it work Mord?
okay…. so i replaced mangosd.exe with a different version and now it works. but now theres a different problem.
I can connect to the server using an account i created. I made a character but now whenever i try to enter the game world i get disconnected and mangosd.exe gives me this:
[MCH] ***********************

Error in my_thread_global_end(): 9 threads didn’t exit
update: before it quits, mangosd.exe gives me this error:
Error in my_thread_global_end: 10 threads didn’t exit
Everything has worked so far in the server setup and i can run realmd.exe with no errors. i run mangosd.exe and it loads everything fine. However, when i try to create a test character i get a microsoft error report screen and then mangosd quits.
Any suggestions?
pxritaly:
You usually get this error when you’re using the wrong WoW patch with the wrong version of Mangos/DBC/SDB. At least, that’s what happened to me..
Mord:
So it’s working now? That’s awesome. :D
Ok, excuse the constant updates. I should have just waited until I tried a couple of things before posting the problem. But anyway, its working. Just got to set up my realm.
Argh…no now i’m getting this error:
2007-07-23 14:18:24 ERROR:Could not load vmap file ‘C:\WOW\Data/vmaps/000_43_31.vmdir’

same thing just Terox’s problem now. I got the maps, now its not finding the vmaps???
I think I found the problem…and feel really stupid for it o.O
0004331.map’ is the exact same one that Adsoe’s setup was saying it couldn’t find and it seems to be the same thing for Terox, but written differently with .vmdir. So….guffah!!!
