Creating 2 Realmd in WoW Mangos Private Server
Posted by Reaper-X Oct 20 2007 1:20 pm
Some people have requested a guide on how to create or link their WoW Private server realmd so their users can choose whatever realmd they want to login to (for example, the first realmd is the PVP World, while the second realmd is to those who prefer normal world) :) … and that’s why i decided to create this guide, and hopefully it’ll be not confusing (i tried my best to make it easy to understand but you judge it by yourself) :)
So here goes the guide :
Requirements :
1. Basic knowledge about MySQL and know how to use MySQL Client program such as Navicat, SQLYog, or PHPMyadmin :)
2. Have lots of free memory / RAM left for best result (i’m using 3GB DDR2 Dual Channel RAM)
3. Mangos already worked and you can use it before trying to attempt this ;)
Note : Depending on which mangos revision you’re using the realmd column might be different (if you’re using my 4602 version then you can just use the same sql query as shown in this example)
also as a side note, you just need to have 1 account to login to each realmd, but it’ll use different data inside each database used
Here are the steps :
1. First make a copy of your mangos (or your mangos directory), so in the end you’ll get two mangos directory, in this example i was using my own compiled version 4617 (my latest version which is available for download for everyone is 4602)
2. Now you’ll need to create a new realmd id as shown on below image, and you can use below sql query if you’re using my 4602 release but if you’re using lower version, there are two option for you to choose : 1. Upgrade or 2. Adjust the column name accordingly
The above query will automatically assign REALMD ID 2 as it’s ID Number if you didn’t touch anything before in realmd table, and another thing to note is use different value for the WORLD Server PORT (in this example i’m using 8086
3. After finished with the above process, now of course you’ll need to create new Mangos Database first for your second realmd, and to do this we need to create a new database and then import the Mangos-UDB.sql file (if you’re using my 4602 release) or adjust it as necessary if you’re using another release, see below image for the example :
3.1 Creating New Mangos Database
or type mysqladmin -u root -p create database-name … if you can’t see the command used on above image
3.2 Importing Mangos DB
After finished creating new database for your second database, now you’ll need to import the fully working database from before into your newly created mangos database (if you’re using my 4602 release, the database name was called mangos-udb.sql and can be found in reaper-eazy-mangos folder)
4. Now you just need to go inside your second mangos directory which is created at step #1 and then open mangosd.conf inside that directory and search for this line :
RealmID = 1
and replace it with :
RealmID = 2
and then search for :
GameType = 1
replace it with :
GameType = 0
and now search for :
WorldDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;mangos”
and replace it with :
WorldDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;root;yourpassword;yoursecondmangosdatabasename”
lastly search for :
WorldServerPort = 8085
and replace it with :
WorldServerPort = 8086
The above step was done because the previous mangos user doesn’t have the privilege to touch that new database name so we need to use root that has global privilege (this is the most quickest and dirtiest way) :P
As a side note, it’d be better for you to create new username for your second database and grant privilege to it for better security (it’s not good to use root account) :)
5. Run the realmd.exe from any of your mangos directory (the first directory which was there before, or the new mangos directory which is created for this purpose), and then run mangosd.exe from the first directory and the second directory
So that result in three new process created … 1 realmd.exe, and 2 mangosd.exe from different directory
6. Now login with your previous username or create a new username and if you’ve done all of the above steps correctly you’ll see two realmd that you can use as shown on below image :
6.1 Realmd Selection Screen
6.2 The first Database With all the characters from before (i think you already saw my character for each screenshot used lol)
6.3 The Second Realmd which is used for this guide
That’s it … i hope you can understand the above explanation … and just like before, if i missed anything just let me know about it :)

hello, one little problem about 3.2 i have done everything in 3.1 and when i try to do 3.2 when i write: mysql -u root -p… and press enter then system shows me the system canot find file specified! plz help me.
my first realm is named reaper-x and how can i name it to weiss realm 1?
how do i delete databases?
@kradnam
if you copied the mangos database into mangos2 and 3, then the character info would stay the same.
Since these are seperate databases, you can delete characters from 1 of them , and it won’t affect the others.
and when i try to login to realmd 2 this text comes loggin in to relm 2 and then i come back to there i choose realm but the other realm works great
i’ve done a new character database named characters2 and writed it in mangosd but when i start mangosd it didn’t find characters2 database. what to do?
I have an interesting problem. I have the second realm up and running, and when I log into wow, I can choose either realm.. The problem is that when I log out of one realm, and it takes me back to the character list, and I click change realm, it just says retrieving realm list. It will not bring the list of realms back up until I completely exit wow, and log in again.
Any ideas?
@kradnam
@reaper
your welcome
yea in the guide i didnt really see anything about that
when i looked at it i would think for sure reaper would have that in there
its like the most important part
u might want to add that in reaper
@Firane
Woot thanks much, i have read 3 of 4 diff guides how to and not one mentions a 2nd characters database.. how the hell can that be left out … well thanks so much again now if i can find a guide on how to get a web account page goin i will be good
@kradnam
u need to make a new characters database
so make a new DB called characters2
then import the DB from the reaper folder and assign ur second realm in mangosd.conf to point to that second characters
that way u can have 2 different character things to save too
and do the same for ur 3rd db
OK i got the server running with no prob, i cant figure out how to get a dign in page running at all and now this 2nd realm thing is driving me nuts. i got it when i log in i see all 3 realms and can log into all 3 of them BUT they are all the same … same scharacters and everything, so if i delete from 1 realm it deletes that alt from all 3 realms. i know ihafta be missing something here, even tho that has to have been the most confusing guide i have read yet. i am using navicat, mysql and of course reaper x mangos 5225, seeing as how the guide wasnt to helpful can someone tell me what i am doin wrong .. i did everything just like this guide said and still nothing .. or is this guide seriously outdated and dont work for 5225?
i have done everything right now and i have two realms but when i open the first mangos it can’t find the error loading ‘ gameobject.template’ table (not exist?)
what can i do?
Hi, I have 2 mangos.exe
one on a PC and another on a second PC.
I want to use an only reaml.exe on one of two PC.
Problem is when I insert the ip in the mangos.conf of the realm.exe on other PC, I have a connection mistake to the DB
Has anyone had a problem with actually logging in to a second realm on their server? I can see the realm when I log in, but when I try to get on the new realm, it bounces me back to the list of realms. The original realm is still accessible. I’ve got all the ports forwarded correctly (the original realm works fine). I’ve also tried addressing the 2nd database with the root user and password in mangosd.conf. I have also given the mangos user permissions to the new databases in MySQL. Any ideas?
Reaper– Thanks for all the time you put into this. You Rock!
um ho do ifind the mongos first step were are they that would help
weiss935 i got dc and you went offline i hope u get it sorted im not familiar with the dlink but u need to get port 8085 and 8086 forwarded on ure internal ip 192.168.1.3 and it didnt seem to work
add me on msn ill help u :)
dundeesteve@hotmail.co.uk
pls i need help!
i’ve fixed that:P now when my server is upp i just find the second realm. but i have both mangosd open and one realmd open.
“127.0.0.1;3306;root;yourpassword;yoursecondmangosdatabasename”
I don’t know my seconddatabasename or my password.
how do i get them?
now i’ve got it.
i don’t understand how to create a new database.
Help please
ALL with 2 realms and same characters. It is an easy fix actually. you need to create a second character database and add it into your mangosd.conf same as you did with the realm. ex: i named my second mangos database `mangos2` and i also created `characters2` then upload your characters.sql to database. and chage mangosd.conf. Hope this helps.

ok for anyone wanting to have different characters on each realm here is wat you have to do:
1. edit mysql with your preffered tool i used phpmyadmin which is quite user friendly.
go into the characters database and click operations and then at the section copy database to type in characters2 then ensure structure and data is selected and click go.
2. open the mangosd.conf for the second server and edit this line:
CharacterDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;characters”
to:
CharacterDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;characters2″
now i also creates another user so my line is:
CharacterDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;mangos2;mangos;characters2″
note the user us mangos2 however im no certain u need to do this as i havnt tried without it if u do simply go to the home page of phpmyadmin and click privelages and then create new user ensure u set the username to mangos2 and password to mangos and give the user full privelages to the relevant databases i.e realmd and characters2 and so on..
hope this helps
n1t3 i found the solution jst after my last post lol
project needs
1. need 1 realm server
2. need 2 mangos server running pointing to same realmd but different db
3. edit realm config to load both realms
4. make 2 database name 1 mangos and other mango
5. make sure both database are starting properly
follow these steps and should be no problems.
hope this helps im gna try it now
very grateful if someone has a solution to the character system i.e having diff characters for each realm, im kinda thinkin u would need 2 databases but if not please let me know :)
Jerememy you need a capital -D or it will not understand your command :)
