I am really trying to get this working but this site makes it soo hard!

Please can you just have a page with the list of versions on it with the latest at the top.

Each page I go to at the top it has update go to.. blah.....

Please just one page which is up to date not linking through a chain of about 6 pages to get the latest version would be a godsend.

Ello there
When I run my Mangosd and Realmd it says that It can't connect to World Database 127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;mangos

Any ideas how to fix this?

hey..great guide..got the server running..anyway..since im kinda new in running the server..can anyone tell me how to upgrade from tbc client 2.1.3 to 2.2??

Thank you, really, you save me.

you can extract the map files using the map extractor included but as a side note, i'd suggest you to get the current version or you can also browse the category from here (just in case i released another update) version instead of this one :)

Oh no wait i found the problem here

hi reaper got a problem when i login to wow and try to log into the MANGOS realm it comes up with the logging into MANGOS realm message and then reverts back to the realmlist again and again? can you help.
thanks

Hi Reaper!
I cant get the "Gurubashi Arena Booty Run" Event to run! But my "Hallows end" Event works and I have put it on the same time.

Hola, i create a working server have been playing it for the past few days, and now when i try to connect it says Could not connect to MySQL Database at 127.0.0.1: Can't connect to MySQL Server on 127.0.0.1

VISTA USERS, for some reason you get Error messages are: Using unknown world database, 0004331.map not excists (Have it in the right dir) and please put the (maps etc.) in the appropriate directories, just copy the folder your data is in to your desktop and reset the directory to there and it will access them correctly.

tnx reaper I,m looking in to it.

Unfortunately i dont have Vista or newer OS (and not planning on moving yet, because i'm guessing lots of my critical application aren't going to work there) so i can't test it, your best option is to compile mangos by yourself :(

# Siegelink

Lol .. there's no need for me to ban anyone (i do support free speech as long as it's related to the topic) :P ... as a side note, actually im planning on moving to Vista (64 Bit), but not in near future of course ;)

For mangos I,m gonna try setting it up on another small computer with XP and use it as a somewhat dedicated server.

Actually if you have Linux (i'm running Centos), you can use that one instead of XP :)

Don't ban me from this site :)

But I think that from a mainstream user perspective Vista is fantasic and more reliable the XP could ever be (I,m using Vista ultimate edition offcourse).

I mean, Even resident evil 3 works perfect on vista (Something XP could never do.) and the security is also Tight as hell.

For mangos I,m gonna try setting it up on another small computer with XP and use it as a somewhat dedicated server.

Reaper X, I am running mangos on windows server 2008. As other users have said before there is a problem with mangos running under windows engines newer than XP. The biggest problem I have found is when you talk to a city guard, the game keeps running with you disconnected and the server comes up with "mangos.exe" has stopped working due to a problem.

Now I hate new OS like Vista just like most people, but I want to use windows server 2008, because I have a genuine legal cdkey for it.

Reaper-X I know this is a big ask, but could you make a fix for mangos.exe allowing it to run under new OS's like vista and server 08. I am happy to give you an debugging logs, of the issue.

Thanks
