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 :)

Connect with me
when i open the second mangosd it just stood could not connect to mysql database at Ô127.0.0.1: unknown mysql server host ‘Ô127.0.0.1′
Cannot connect to world database Ô127.0.0.1
im having this same problem you create a character in one realm and when u switch realms the character is on the second realm can this be resovled?
-d unknown command.
Any reason?
*******************************
C:\Documents and Settings\Jeremy>mysql -umangos -pmangos -d realmd
mysql: unknown option ‘-d’
********************************
like:
setgm bloody 3
for admin =D
acount ranks can be changed on 2 ways,
easy in mangosd.exe or some harder in sqlyog
-open mangosd.exe and type setgm ‘name’ ‘rank’
3 = admin
2 = gm
1 = moderator
0 = player
or the harder way:
-open sql yog, go to the realmd db,
then to account and search for the player and set his rank (collum nr. 4)
having problems with characters in the two realms. the characters from realm 1 are being used in realm 2 is there a way to fix that? or am i missing a step on here…
my server is working fine i just forgot how to change my accounts ranks
How do you change your gm accounts ranking?
hey i was just wondering how do you change your gm character’s rank
well i did everything it said, but then for some reason when i try to log into the second server it says “cannot connect”
im lost
For all of you still looking for working DBC files /having problems with extracting your own can do what I did. I downloaded the latest ASCENT server and used the DBC files for the reaper-x-mangos server. worked perfectly.
Thanks reaper and a merry christmas!

hello reaper, first of all i want to ty for all the guides u have posted. and second if possible i need some help with the account site for others to create their own accounts instead of me doing manually. email= s457l9a1321@hotmail.com

Ok, now I found anything, it says error, that mysql server isnt correct :/
Also: Realm shows to be offline -.- and this WorldDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;mangos” cannot be found, even if you uses WORLD as key word -_- …
:S Ok, thanks great guide, but :S how can I remove realm ? Coz I have one incorrect ;S out of three ;S thx again ;S
A really short (and proudly hard to understand guide) about to connect internet realms to your logon server
first stem, in the logon server db, create a list whit all Id Names and IP (and ports if necesary) of your internet realms, i.e:
(shown as vertical fields)
——————————————–
id: 1
name: internet server 1
address:
port:
icon: 0
color: 0
timezone: 0
allowedSecurityLevel: 0
population: 0
——————————————–
Repeat many time how realm u want to mount (changing the ID in ALL cases)
THEN be sure all your internet realm can work perfect as local realms, if work, ok, we can continue, if all work good, then edit your mangosd.conf and change that configurations parameters only!
RealmID = 2
(REMEMBER: must match the realmlist on the db logon serv!!!!!)
GameType = 1
(or 0 NORMAL 1 PVP 4 NORMAL 6 RP 8 RPPVP)
–and—
LoginDatabaseInfo = “;;;;realmd”
i.e.:
LoginDatabaseInfo = “243.45.159.45;3306;mangos;mangospws;realmd”
the rest of connections can keep being local adresses on each realm
ok, we are ready, now, we can up our realmlist
run the REALMD.EXE on the logon server
then.
run the MANGOSD.EXE (ONLY don’t run the realmd.exe) on each internet realm.
if all your connection to the logon db on each realm work then u have a wow serv whit internet_realm_list
NOTE: make sure your logon serv can see your realms, and your realm can see the logon serv, and their DB (whit te respectives permision for insert, delete, update…etc, u know what permission need ;))
# Snurro
Yes, currently i’m working on it .. and hopefully it’ll be not confusing as this one (that’s why it took me a while to write it lol)
# EZ-Mouse and Sscutlima
Glad to know it works for you too :)
# SauronTheGreat
Lol … ah actually as long as you have mysql installed, then you can do it too
here’s a manual step on how to do it :
1. open command prompt
2. type :
mysql -umangos -pmangos -D realmd
INSERT INTO `realmlist` VALUES ( NULL, 'YOUR SECOND REALMD NAME', '127.0.0.1', 8086, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0 );
to see if you’ve done it correctly type :
SELECT * FROM `realmlist`;
and see if you can see your newly created realmd name after typing the above SELECT ;)
lol luckers, all I got is giant list of mistakes, and wtf this programm needed in 2nd step ? -_-
Ya, finally got mine to work, have the same sort of set up as EZ-Mouse, with one logon db.
I mount 2 local realm + 1 remote realm (internet on another city) (3 realms) whit only 1 logon db, and work perfect!!!!
Lol, the whole thing I was trying to make this damnit second realm, I didnt get anything with this step one, omfg ! Do I have to download it !? And what is it querty pfft … From all understendable so easy guides I found this one the most hardable to understend, and I still dont get first step with this damn programm sql or something, on how this working and etc !! What is it actually ? And can you share download link ???? Would be perfect -.- … Anyway thanks for ‘ good ‘ guide.
I’ve manage to make my own server and everythings working:D But i just wonder can i make my own weapons? I’ve searched google for like 1/2 weeks now, (without finding anything)
Then my friend telled me that you were going to make a guide about it is that true? And thanks for all the help your site gave me:D
Hi there, I recently updated to the latest release yesterday, and now made another server.
Now, in SQLyog, I have the main database fodlers, then my new one called mangos-db2 which i imported the database file into. So, now when i load the first mangosd.exe it loads both the servers at once, but, the new server loops. I had managed to get access once but I can not get in anymore. I just thought that if i could get this to work properly i wouldnt have to hog all my ram by loading two seperate servers accessing the database.
All of the tables work in relation perfect so its just the looping i cant seem to fix by adding the ip to the realmd table.
# Dorvita
Could you tell me which mangos revision you’re using actually ?
# Jimmy
I’m really sorry for late reply because i didn’t saw your comment coming through
actually previously (before writing this) i received email from few people and ask whether they’re able to run separate database with 2 realmd, and since i got confused on what they’re trying to do so i guess basically they’re looking for something like this
and i’m really sorry if i’m not using the correct words because well basically i’m still learning too :)
Hi there I have my server up and running all perfect but dont have any people ,animals or items also when I type something and click enter nothing appears can anyone please help?
Many thanks..
Dor.x
You’re not making 2 realmds, you’re making 2 world servers or 2 instances of mangosd actually…might wanna get your wording right before publishing.
Can u add me for msn? please my msn is Marius_94_1@hotmail.com!!!
i need help with making my new server its gonna go up! please some of thoose peopels!
i need make it!
I edit my items using SQLYog, go to your database (dbc), then under mangos, go to item_template and you can edit every item in the game there. You can also do much more than edit items, but also NPC’s, scripts, loot, and so on. After editing it you just save it in the window log, and save it into your data file from the SQLYlog program. Hope that made sense.
what do u mean by setby username 1?
do i need a differnt database if i where to get bc?
will i need better mangos?
can i link me the site to create mangos?
# Malevo
Ah .. try running the server instance config from the mysql shortcut in start menu if you want to set mysql to be included in your Env. path automatically :)
# beaver
Unfortunately it’s not possible for me to run internet based server because i’m still using slow connection (my upload speed 5 – 8 Kilobytes / second).. and that’s why i only open it for LAN connection only :(
# njbs
you mean Burning Crusade ? actually you can set TBC default into 1 by editing the account table in realmd (TBC Column)
but if you’re using the mangosd command line to create new account (create username password), you’ll need to also type setbc username 1 :)
hey reaper-x
Once i make the sever, how do i make it have bc? Do i need to have another sever then the one you have provided?
whats your ip man.. i wanna join ya server ^^
“i assume you’ve set the mysql bin path into your environment variable path”
huh? o.o
# Slacker6
lol .. glad you found the solution by yourself :D
# cman
actually that nether drake is dependant on which database you’re using
if you’re using my 4629 release and choose use the Unified Database, then you can use Nether Drake ;)
How do i add the .reload3 and the .reload 147 id commands to my server?? because i got the 2.1.3 server and the new nether drake mounts dont work it makes my character fly but there is no drake?? what do i do to fix please help and email me at ballzan@gmail.com
Never mind man, I fix my problems before you do hehe. Thanks for the support though. When I have someone to tell this stuff to I fix it right away. ;).

Hey reaper,
If you check comments here I wanted to say my server is up and running beautifully and I love you for your time spent to work on this. But I have hit a problem when it comes to the second database. How does the long file stretch work when you replace the “mangos, mangos,manogs” deal?
unfortunately i dont use navicat so i dont know where to execute it in navicat
but if you’re interested on executing / importing that sql file via the command prompt, here are the step :
Note : i assume you’ve set the mysql bin path into your environment variable path
1. open command prompt
2. change directory to where you put that sql file
3. type :
mysql -umangos -pmangos -D mangos < that_sql_filename.sql
and done :)
Sorry for posting this here since its off topic, but this seems to be the only place peeps are helping me with this. So yeah, I created an SQL file for my item and I opened mysql through navicat. I just need to know where to execute the batch file or something.
# Kek
I’m really sorry but i haven’t got a chance to try ascent :( … i don’t know why but it seems that ascent only allow specific people to access their svn repositories (or at least that’s what i’m thinking)
# Malevo
It’s a sql file, but i haven’t actually tried using / importing the sql file from them directly :)
# Question
Actually as long as you run it on different ports, it should be fine :)
Hi, I have two computer’s that can run wow servers(i am already have one up and running). my question is can i use both of those computers to run two wow server at once on the same router? And still be able to get a connection from outside the router. How different are these steps and can you explain how to do this. thank you
“u can use http://wow-v.com/weaponcreator.php”
I see. It gives me some sort of text however I’m still not sure what to do with that…
“How did you make those custom weapons”
u can use http://wow-v.com/weaponcreator.php
How did you make those custom weapons
Great guide, Also i Haven’t seen a “Ascent” guide for this? is there one about? thanks in advance
