Frequently Asked Questions about WoW Mangos Error Message
Posted by Reaper-X Oct 2 2007 3:10 am
Since there still many people who still having problem with their Mangos Server, based from the number of comments i received so far on this site. I’ll try my best to explain what all those error messages means, so here goes the lists
Note : If you’re using older mangos release, i’d suggest you to upgrade first because i won’t be able to answer your question if you’re using a historic release or old release. And currently this is based on my latest 4524 (if you’re using my previous 4488, or 4505 release … try to upgrade first because in 4524 i’ve already created an even easier batch script so you don’t really need to know about varios MySQL Queries command)
As a side note, if you’re running World of Warcraft TBC version below 2.1.3, i can’t give you any support on this … unless you’ve upgraded your WoW Client into 2.1.3 or 2.2
1. The most frequently asked question is 04331.map not exist error message so mangos can’t be started ?
The answer to that question is … did you run the extract-map.bat from your World of Warcraft Installation Directory ? and if so … did you wait until the process finished completely without interrupting it. And it’ll take a while to extract all maps completely but that’s depend on your computer specs. It took 6 minutes for the process to finished completely on my computer, and oh … i’ve done the extraction process for about 5 times or more, and i can locate the 0004331.map just fine by using Windows Search Function which mean the extraction process is successful
If you’re sure you can locate the 0004331.map using your Windows Search Function, try looking at the datadir section of your mangosd.conf (if you’re using my 4524 release you can just use the reaper-x-mangos.bat to edit the datadir) or you can edit it by yourself using Notepad / Wordpad or other text editor and make sure the datadir point to where you put the Maps, DBC and VMaps directory
For example if you put like on below image for example ( I:\WoW\Data )
You should write DataDir = “I:\WoW\data” as your datadir (with quotes and don’t copy paste from here because this software automatically transform quotes into curly quotes)
Also DataDir = “I:\WoW\data” or DataDir = “I:/WoW/data” is just the same, i can use them both without problem, although on some system you should use backslash (“/”) from various response
2. Could not find 001_33_39.vmdir or other vmdir related error message ?
Did you copy all files inside Tools\VmapExtractAssembler into your WoW installation directory ? and then run the makevmaps_SIMPLE.bat and wait until the process finished without interrupting it ? and one more thing :
if you see vmap_assembler.exe buildings vmaps splitConfig.txt displayed on the command prompt screen, you just need to wait until you can Press Any Key To Continue message appear on your screen
3. ERROR:Could not connect to MySQL database at 127.0.0.1 ?
That error message mean, you haven’t started the MySQL process yet … did you follow my previous guide on how to install MySQL ? and another thing to keep in mind that you need Administrator Privilege in order to do that, and if you still get error message saying can’t bind or something. Make sure that :
There’s no mysql process running in background, to check it open the task manager and then look for mysql under the process list tab. This thing can happen if you previously using repack that include mysql into their repack
4. Could not locate locale-enUS.MPQ, patch-enUS-2.MPQ, or other enUS-MPQ related error ?
That mean you’re using different WoW version, you just need to edit extract.bat inside the DBC Extractor directory like below :
mpqe /d “.” locale-enUS.MPQ *.dbc
mpqe /d “.” patch-enUS.MPQ *.dbc
mpqe /d “.” patch-enUS-2.MPQ *.dbc
Into the correct MPQ filename, for example locale-enGB.MPQ
And another note, you’ll need .NET Runtime 2 in order to run the DBC Extractor
5. Friends could not connect from LAN or stuck in realm loop ?
Make sure you’ve change the realmd.realmlist ip address into your lan Address, and if you’re currently have mangos running close it first before adjusting it into your IP Address
Because some people keep having problem with changing the ip address into their lan ip address, i’ve created the batch script in my 4524 release so you just need to write your LAN IP address when asked (by choosing the LAN option from the menu first of course) … that’s it
But if you don’t know what is your lan ip address … i can’t help you with that
That’s it for now … because that’s basically the most frequently asked questions to me via the comment box ;) … hope this will help you solve your problem

When I log on to my character, it gives me an error report, how do i fix this?
I get this error:
2007-12-12 08:23:09 ERROR:
Some required *.dbc files (1 from 39) not found or not compatible:
C:\mangos/dbc/ItemExtendedCost.dbc (exist, but have 14 fields instead 13) Wrong client version DBC file?
Where did i go wrong? i’m using the English version of wow not the us.
Ah, nevermind! I read through comments on the actual guide page, and found that I needed to install the .NET Runtime 2.0. Downloaded, installed, and now things are up-and-running again.
Thanks!
Hello – I’m in the process of extracting the maps, vmaps, etc. I got to step 3 with no problems. However, when I try to run C:\Program Files\WoW2\Data\enUS\extract-enUS.bat, it comes up with an error message:
“To run this application, you first must install one of the following versions of the .NET Framework: v2.0.50727. Contact your application publisher for instructions about obtaining the appropriate version of the .NET Framework.”
I use Windows XP Media Edition (SP2).
Thanks in advance! :D
Hmmm…the 0004331 one is still noe working =’(
i need help..
(i have vista)
hey ive recently set up a mangos server and while it works on lan, it doesnt work over the internet. ive forwarded my ports and even tried disabling my router firewall but i still cant connect through my ip and neither can anyone else.
i was just wondering if you had any ideas? ive tried to use my ip and a no-ip one and ive mucked around with system32\drivers\etc hosts file (now put back to how it was)… but still doesnt work.
thanks =)
Your welcome :)
as for Custom GM Vendor at UDB unfortunately the answer is no :(
but … if you’re interested on using Custom version that already include Custom vendor, you can get my new 4703 Mod version (look at the recent software at the footer area below) ;)
Oh nvm i saw an corrupted thingy (I changed it to automatically fill in the path to mysql bin, but it was corrupted path :P now it works ty:)
Are there any GM vendors at .prog with the UDB database?
didnt*
Hmmmm..when i try to install the other DB it also says ‘MySQL is not recognized as an internal or external command’, but first it did:O
actually i created and tested that batch file on Windows XP SP2 and it works without problem :)
and no, don’t edit the MYI and FRM file manually because you’re going to completely damage your MySQL installation (you can’t edit it directly using notepad or other text editor because you’ll need mysql client in order to do that)
as for doing the steps manually, you can try using the search form on top of this website, and search for Create Public server ;)
btw the vendors at GM Island is custom made by silvermoon project so you won’t find it on UDB database (though i prefer to use UDB now because it has been updated to work with the latest version of mangos)
Sorry that i cannot edit any posts because this should actually be the thing to edit, and not make a whole new post of — i use the Project Silvermoon database, because when i dont i dont have GM vendors on gmisland (With the other one, do you have them on the island you get when you type .prog?)
Also, just something else i need help with, total different from the IP adress and so — There are commands (Like .commands, .lookupitem..these things) well .commands should show you all the commands that you can use, and lookupitem “name” should give you the name and the ID of that item rite? well..here’s the thing — with both commands it doesnt show..ANYTHING! :O (And i CAN use the commands .additem and .’anyGMcommandiwannause’ (except .cooldown, .cheat taxi, the things that make you….overpowered.:P)
Ok newest thing discovered i need to do it manually, because i just finally got rid of that whole ipconfig thing, now when it says ‘Does it show the right ip adress and realmname?’ it says ‘Mysql is not recognized as an internal or external command’..:(
OK i looked in the Realmd DB, but then i see multiple ‘realmlist’s’..like realmlist.MYI – realmlist.frm – realmlist.MYD, or do i look in the wrong place? :P (E:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\data\realmd, for all you others it would be C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\data\realmd but my computer is fucked up, gave my first and only hard drive the E=p) Thx in advance — dudethatneedshelp
Ok my OS is Windows XP (SP2) and when I type ipconfig manually @ command prompt, well yea i just get my IP — everything i’d need to know and so, but i cant put it in the file because it shuts itself down, when i choose to ‘Edit’ the file (just in notepad or so) then I change the line into “echo ipconfig” so it wouldnt actually try to perform ipconfig, just echo it on my screen but then it still error’s..Could you maybe make another — working batch file, or else tell me how to manually change it? Thanks in advance
could you tell me what is your OS ? btw could you also type ipconfig manually from the command prompt ?
btw about the realmd.realmlist actually you won’t be able to see that file normally because it’s stored in the database (mysql)
realmd = database name
realmlist = table name
ok last one for this day then……I have searched all over my computer for that file you mention “realmd.realmlist” — i just dont have it…
hmmmmmmm(sorry for so many posts but i really wanna know the answer!!!!:( else i cant put my hard work online–a whole day doing these maps and so–I want it online — verymuch!! :O pleazz helps :)thanks in advance ..wont post more…for 2day =p
Answer please =p
“reapermangos4651″ sorry!
Hey it’s a VERY good guide — but i have an question. i got “reapermangos4251″ totally installed everything works and all i can login there is no actual problem — now, i want to put it online (Change the IP adress from 127.0.0.1 to my real IP, making it possible for others to connect) now you made an batch file (in reaper-eazy-mangos folder) and when i open it, choose option 5 (To set up the realmname and the ip) then it says “ipconfig is not recognized as an internal or external command” (I had to look it up with doing Run->cmd->putting it in there, cuz it auto shuts itself down…)Help me please!
Thanks a lot Reaper, private server up and running as it should:)
are you pointing the ip address to loopback address (127.0.0.1) or public ip ?
if you use 127.0.0.1 it should work right away but .. if you use your public ip address then you’ll need to set up port forwarding first (or probably change the realmd port too though this depend on your ISP)
OK, next problem that aquired,sorry for spamming, hope this is the last, MySQL is running ok, folders r all created and placed at 1 folder that i know where it is…:) Runned the install proccess (option 1) in reaper-x-mongos.bat and everything went smoothly, tried realmd.exe works ok and dislay the messages that u linked in 1 of ur pics, mangosd.exe works ok (made a gm account even, hoping i would be able to log on). Changed the realmslist.wtf to my pointing to my ip address. Nearly everything r ready…when i try to log on the server though i get a pause for a few second and a “unable to connect” message like theres no internet connection. What am i missing guys, any suggestions? And apologise for the spamming, was looking at the site to find a usefull post before i start posting my problems:P
NVM m8, found what was wrong, the path needs to be with “/”, not with “\”:) moving on to next stage now, my thanks to a post (dont remember who was it) that said something similar and thought i try it:)
using ReaperMangos4651 btw, followed every step at ur guide, up to the vmaps,maps and dbc. Have them at a folder C:\data. Kinda lost from there on…:)
hey m8, great guide, im trying to install the reaper-x-mangos.bat in dos and i get the error message when i try to enter my root password i get the error message “‘mysql’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file. and i get it 2 times:)
ok now i got a new problem. when i open up mangosd.exe it stays open until it hits 46% on loading data stores then it stops. what do i do?
ok its all fixed, just had to repair wow.exe for a few times :P
its really strange because its saying one of the cimatatics wont load in the beginning and i pulled up the PTRs and it works for there, is there something wrong with my computer? (the error is 131: C:\world of warcraft\wow.exe
file: DBfilesclient\areatrigger.dbc)
im getting 131 error on wow startup saying the areatrigger in the db folder is corrupt
# Jerry
Which mangos revision you’re using ? did you download it from somewhere else ? because if there’s no mobs, npc, etc that mean you didn’t import the full database but import the blank empty database from mangos directly only ;)
where are the creatures, npc, files server is running but all i can do is just run around. NO FUN
Can anyone help
Thanks
i have figured it out, i was running 2.1.3 and for whatever reason it wouldn’t let me into outland, i updated it to 2.2.3 and it now works :D
hi, i have a bit of a problem. i got mangos installed and working, the only thing is when i try to go to outland, it says i must have The Burning Crusade installed to access the area. i have it installed!
any help on how to fix this problem would be appreciated.
# Pickle, M
What is your operating system ? is it Vista ?
# Matt
that error message appear because you didn’t import the core update, let’s say you’re using 4400 and you want to upgrade to 4455 (im 100% sure there’re database structure changed) .. then you need to import individual core update file
if you’re using my mangos release, you just need to run the reaper-x-mangos.bat and follow the rest of the process until finished :)
# jimmythefrog
Are you trying to create old mangos server or trying to create new tbc server ?
also, have you checked my new 4577 release ?
Hey. Im getting the Same error as Python.. I didn’t understand you’re solution. Maybe you could tell me how to fix this?
Thanks
Matt
where the fuck do i find e_turray.sql? im so confused on that part….
Ya well my server works fine and everythin but when i start up WoW it will stay at connect for about 30 seconds and then say disconnected from server….what do i do or what did i do wrong????
# Python
Just as Kythios says, if there’s an update to the database scheme and you didn’t execute the update, you’ll get that error message :)
to fix it, if you’re running my mangos compilation, you just need to run the batch file included and choose install
if you’re using other compilation and they didn’t create a batch file, then you need to import the sql update file included :)
I have recieved that error before as well, but that was due to using different mangos revisions. with my most recent attempt to getting the server running (this is my second serious try, but i have half-hartedly tried many other times) has not brought up that error. try re-downloading a mangos compilation, and using the files there, and make sure you use the mangos.exe and realmd.exe from that revision as well as the SQL dumps. the DBC and maps should not be an issue. that’s all i can say on the matter, but hopefully someone who has a working WoW server can tell you more.
i keep gettin a message that says
error in “item_template’, probably sql file format was updated (there should be 138 lines in the sql.)
can u help?
apparently the less than and greater than signs do not work.

I’m having a bit of trouble with the mangos setup. i’m using your 4488 build (because i found that i was able to follow that guide the easiest) but when i try to run the dbc extractor or the mangosd or realmd .exe files, and error pops up. i got around the dbc error by downloading the dbc dump you supplied, but the error i get is
“mangosd.exe – unable to locate component”
“this application has failed to start because MSVCR71.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.”
any ideas? if so, please email me at zephar_leoin hotmail com, or rob.roy keyano ca, both addresses i check frequently. (i removed the @ and the . symblos to avoid spambots, if any access this site because i get enough spam as is.)
After fixing the 0004331.map error (thanks a lot btw) i’m now getting this error:
Error in ‘gameobjext_template’ table, probably sql file format was updated (there should be 32 fields in sql).
I am completely baffled and confused with this whole process, please help me.
^^^^ Answer
Make sure that when you copy the DBC tools over.
Make sure that the folder you place them in isnt
/Worldofwarcraft/data
But
/Worldofwarcraft/data/enUS
And run the DBC tools from there
Can u explain Number 4 further, I’m a bit confused at what to do.
also reaper thanks man for the how to’s man there awesome keep up the good work
1. The most frequently asked question is 04331.map not exist error message so mangos can’t be started ?
after trying a few time going back and for with trying to figure out what was wrong with this thing when your in reaper batch file and it ask you for the folder where the maps, vmaps and dbc is located instead of (\) use (/) example C:\reaper-mangos-R4524\data don’t do that do C:/reaper-mangos-R4524/data and it will pick up the other folders just fine
