Reaper Mangos Installation / Upgrade Guide

To make things easier for me to update Reaper Mangos in the future without the need to write the installation guide each time there’s a new release, i’ve decided to a separate post explaining on how to install Reaper Mangos … but please note that guide is specifically designed to those who wants to install Reaper Mangos from scratch (not upgrading) or in other words, fresh installation, because in order to upgrade you just need to execute the batch file in the upgrade folder inside reaper-eazy-mangos directory

Once again, if you’re going to upgrade your Reaper Mangos installation, make sure you’re using 1 version below the current release or you’ll lose all of your character data (unless you’ve created a backup before) and other customization made by yourself. So without further ado here goes the guide

Requirements :

1. MySQL Community Edition (Free) … as for the installation guide, you can read my previous post on how to install MySQL on Windows

Important: Grab the version 5.0 setup.exe version instead of 5.1 or 6.0 because the 5.1 series is still in Release Candidate stage while the 6.0 version is still at early alpha stage and not recommended for production use

2. World of Warcraft Client (supported version changed on each release)

3. Reaper Mangos itself

p.s the image itself might be outdated but the process is still the same :)

Fresh Installation :

Once again, please Note : Fresh installation will overwrite your database which means everything will be from fresh

1. First you’ll need to install MySQL

2. And the next step would be extracting Maps, DBC and VMaps from your World of Warcraft installation … (Maps and DBC are required in order for mangos to run, while VMaps are optional)

3. Run the reaper-x-mangos.exe inside the reaper-eazy-mangos folder, and you’ll get something like below image for an example, and then you just need to write the full path to your mysql installation directory (where mysql.exe and mysqldump.exe can be found) ;)

MySQL installation directory

If you’re didn’t write the correct path, you can be sure that you’ll get an error message at the next step

4. Now you just need to choose option number 1 to install the database as shown below, and when prompted for your mysql root password, don’t forget to write the correct password … :)

Mangos Database Installation

And one more thing, when you see something like in The Matrix movie (well … that’s how people called it) :) , you just need to wait until it finished and don’t interrupt the process

5. After finished with the database installation, now you need to choose option number 4 (required, unless you know how to edit the mangosd.conf manually) to adjust the datadir and adjust the exp rate, and drop rate (although the most important thing is your datadir path

Editing Mangosd.conf

6. After finished with all of the above process, all you have to do now is just open the realmlist.wtf file in your World of Warcraft installation directory (the default location can be found at C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft) using Notepad, Wordpad, or your favorite text editor and then …

Replace :

set realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
set patchlist us.version.worldofwarcraft.com

With :

set realmlist 127.0.0.1

and then save it and close realmlist.wtf file

7. Now you just need to run mangosd.exe and realmd.exe from your mangos directory and then the next step would be creating your own username with your desired password for your own WoW server account as shown on below image followed by typing setgm to give yourself a GM level account

Creating account in mangos

Btw if you can’t see what you should type inside the mangosd window from the above image, actually you just need to type :

create username password

to create the account, and then to allow your account to access The Burning Crusade Expansion pack (like BloodElf) you need to type :

setbc username 1

and finally :

setgm username (1–3)
for example setgm myusername 3

to give yourself GM Access at certain level (3 is the highest level and should only be used on your account while normal player is 0)

Optional :
If you want to change the server name into something else, you can use the reaper-x-mangos.exe to adjust it :)

Upgrading Reaper Mangos :

Make sure to backup your Characters data before upgrading

Upgrading Reaper Mangos can be done by simply running the reaper-x-upgrade.bat in Upgrade folder in reaper-eazy-mangos directory

But please note, that if you’re still using 2 version below the current release, the upgrade process is not going to be completed successfully (i’ve been trying to make sure that the upgrade process can be used by any version but it’s seems that there’s no easy way to accomplish this, but if you got a suggestion on how to process this, just let me know about it)

Note : You don’t need to worry about your custom stuff being overwritten by the upgrade process, because unlike before this time it’s only upgrade the necessary stuff only and not going to overwrite your custom stuff (but i assume that you’re using high id numbers for your custom stuff)

Finally i’d suggest you to check out the GM Commands List because there are some changes made at the GM Commands especially at the lookup command (and of course i’ll always update the GM Commands List whenever there are new command available for you to use, or there are previous command that is being replaced with new commands)

    #Everyone that needs help with number 5

    Here's what to do (copied from an email i sent a few days ago):

    Open up mangosd.conf which is in where you saved reaper-x mangos and look for:

    # Data directory setting.
    # Important: DataDir needs to be quoted, as it is a string which may
    # contain space characters.
    DataDir = ""

    and

    # Database connection settings for the world server.
    # Default: hostname;port;username;password;database
    # .;somenumber;username;password;database - use named pipes at Windows
    # Named pipes: mySQL required adding "enable-named-pipe" to [mysqld] section my.ini
    # .;/path/to/unix_socket;username;password;database - use Unix sockets at Unix/Linux
    # Unix sockets: experimental, not tested
    LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;realmd"
    WorldDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;mangos"
    CharacterDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;characters"

    On the first one, where it says:

    DataDir = ""
    put in the "" where youve saved the extracted vmaps, maps and dbc files.
    On the second one, where it says,

    LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;realmd"
    WorldDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;mangos"
    CharacterDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;characters"

    change:

    = "127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;realmd"
    = "127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;mangos"
    = "127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;characters"

    into

    = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;password;realmd"
    = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;password;mangos"
    = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;password;characters"

    Where root is the database username (default root) and the password is the database password (what you used when configuring MySQL).
    In realmd.conf look for:

    LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;realmd"
    (it may not say mangos;mangos on either of these so look for the words/numbers around it)

    and change it to:

    LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;password;realmd"

    with the same rule as before. For scriptdev2.conf look for

    ScriptDev2DatabaseInfo
    = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;password;scriptdev2

    and change using the same rule as before.

    Sorry if its hard to follow, email me at steveya@hotmail.co.uk if your confused.

    @Tomcat

    You need to setup your data folder. What you need to do is go to mangos.conf search for

    # Data directory setting.
    # Important: DataDir needs to be quoted, as it is a string which may
    # contain space characters.
    DataDir =

    what you need to change is your DataDir =
    that is what you need to change if not mangos will NOT run. here is a example

    # Data directory setting.
    # Important: DataDir needs to be quoted, as it is a string which may
    # contain space characters.
    DataDir = "C:/WoW Server/Reapermangos5082/data"

    after you save where your data folder is located then save but before you save look once more before you send another comment in.

    DataDir = "C:/WoW Server/Reapermangos5082/data"

    you notice that it's not using the forward slash " \ " it is using the back slash " / " use back slash. Forward slash do not work for that spot so MAKE SURE you do that or you will not get that server up and running

    Hi I am having the same problems as Tomcat and Nikor. I tried fixing the path the way I was told, but it is still giving me the same messages as Tomcat and Nikor. When I go into the data/maps directory, there are no files in there. Did I do something wrong? Are there supposed to be files in the Maps directory?

    Yes you should have files in there, if they have gone missing, make new ones by running the MapExtractor program again.

    Travis:.....

    The recent WoW installation does not contain any maps, the maps are actually stored in the users account on the Blizzard server, as are the characters and most of the realm details.

    Therefore it is NOT, and will NEVER be possible to run a successful private WoW server, unless a Blizzard employee can be bribed to obtain their server software, prepackaged, ready to work out-of-the-box, with only the ip addresse(s) to be changed.

    Steven, on a higher post, told people how to fix #5. I figured, hell why not give it a try. So I did and now I can't turn mangos or realmd on at ALL. So I'm going to reverse that crap, and beg for help with step #7. I cannot get realmd or mangos to allow me to even type on them. Perhaps its because I have no idea where the dbc files are?

    Maybe someone can list the exact dbc files I need to put in D:\WoW\Data

    Hey guys, first thing I want to say awsome job. I never thought I'd be able to look at the BT bosses face to face but thanks to you I can die now :p.

    The only thing that's giving me a problem is the fact that I can't create a 2nd toon for some reason. As soon as I do, or as soon as a friend joins my server, my character screen stays blank and I can't see nor select any characters. Neither can my friends. Only after I delete all accounts and start over, can I see 1 toon. And as soon as I create a 2nd they dissapear again.

    They exist because if I click on change realm, it tells me that my realm has X number of toons on it. But I can neither see nor select any toons.

    I've tried searching 2 days for a fix but so far I've only read about 1 guy with a similar problem on a different forum with no luck.

    Thanks for any info you can give me. BTW The game doesn't give me an error message of any kind which is what I found odd.

    # Kenneth and Pheen

    from that error message it seems that you didn't choose to upgrade the database, try using reaper-x-mangos.exe and then choose to upgrade the database :)

    # /beg

    Are you using Reaper Mangos 5225 ? if so ... i'm guessing that you choose to write your own username when asked at the fresh installation steps and the solution to it :

    1. Leave blank when prompted to use root as the username and continue with fresh installation

    2. When asked whether you want to create separate username for mangos, answer Y and it'll create separate username for mangos automatically

    # David Bentley

    Yes, actually you can just ignore it :) .. because the current release (if you choose to use UDB as the database instead of PSDB) still not using the new EventAI, but on the next version there'll be eventai too for UDB, just wait for it ;)

    I get 'Could not connect' when trying to log in. both mangosd.exe and realmd.exe start up and run with no problems.

    What could be wrong? I know other people are having this same problem

    Thanks

    # Fred

    Did you type :

    setbc youruseraccountname 1

    from the mangosd window ;)

    # Sam

    Could you describe the problems (what kind of error message you get, etc) a little bit more? :)

    Everything went smoothly at the beginning, and then when i tried to run these two the above errors come up. Please help me.

    um theres a link on this site to the download the vmaps and maps, but it's from megaupload.com, witch means if your not a member you can only download one thing. so if you downloaded before it won't work, if you havent then go to the upper right of this page and click the reaper mangos 5225 - easy wow 2.3.3 private server link and find the download link

    ok the probelm that i keep comgin up with is durring a fresh installation. i got all of the files that i need in the right places, but when i choose '1' for the installation and then '1' again for unified database, it says, "the system can not find the fie specified" X2 then "please wait it'll take a while to import the database" and "press any key to continue..." after i find the "any key" it goes to the next screen it says "generating default configuration file...etc etc..." then it says "file not found" X5 "press any key to continue..."

    it offers to create another username since i'm using the root account as the default. i tried both yes and no. nothing changes. this is as far as i can get. i'd like to know how to set this up because i'm going back to iraq soon and the satelite internet there is horrible.

    i've also tried some of the other builds of mangos and same with all except 4875. but i still can't run TBC on that build. i did, however, get as far as setting up a server on my computer, i couldn't get WOW and mangos to communiate. wow said something about "cannot verify this version of wow. please contact some dumbass at blizzard etc etc"

    if anyone knows what's going on here, please let me know. i'm on MSN all the time. feel free to IM me. sereicikas@hotmail.com

    #Everyone that needs help with number 5

    Here’s what to do (copied from an email i sent a few days ago):

    Open up mangosd.conf which is in where you saved reaper-x mangos and look for:

    # Data directory setting.
    # Important: DataDir needs to be quoted, as it is a string which may
    # contain space characters.
    DataDir = “”

    and

    # Database connection settings for the world server.
    # Default: hostname;port;username;password;database
    # .;somenumber;username;password;database - use named pipes at Windows
    # Named pipes: mySQL required adding “enable-named-pipe” to [mysqld] section my.ini
    # .;/path/to/unix_socket;username;password;database - use Unix sockets at Unix/Linux
    # Unix sockets: experimental, not tested
    LoginDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;realmd”
    WorldDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;mangos”
    CharacterDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;characters”

    On the first one, where it says:

    DataDir = “”
    put in the “” where youve saved the extracted vmaps, maps and dbc files.
    On the second one, where it says,

    LoginDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;realmd”
    WorldDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;mangos”
    CharacterDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;characters”

    change:

    = “127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;realmd”
    = “127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;mangos”
    = “127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;characters”

    into

    = “127.0.0.1;3306;root;password;realmd”
    = “127.0.0.1;3306;root;password;mangos”
    = “127.0.0.1;3306;root;password;characters”

    Where root is the database username (default root) and the password is the database password (what you used when configuring MySQL).
    In realmd.conf look for:

    LoginDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;realmd”
    (it may not say mangos;mangos on either of these so look for the words/numbers around it)

    and change it to:

    LoginDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;root;password;realmd”

    with the same rule as before. For scriptdev2.conf look for

    ScriptDev2DatabaseInfo
    = “127.0.0.1;3306;root;password;scriptdev2

    and change using the same rule as before.

    Sorry if its hard to follow, email me at steveya@hotmail.co.uk if your confused.

    Hai! I have a problem. I am using 5472. When I open reaperx-eazy-mangos.exe, I get an error - "/F was unexpected at this time"... I am getting this when I run it thru command prompt. When I double click the file, it just flashes a black screen and closes...
    Please let me know what I am doing wrong...

    First and mostly thanks for all your time and effort that went into making this. it rocks!

    I used your guide and all's well except my fave char, the Warlock!

    2 problems:

    1. Soul Link does not work! Am I doing someting wrong? I went to lvl 70, got all my pets, learned them all the spells, and speced my Demonology tree to soul link. The game requirement is lvl 40 for Soul Link. When I cast it, the aura does not apply to my char.

    2. Demonic Embrace also does not show up on my char. Both these are Talents that you aquire as you move up the lvling ladder. They are very important for the lock build.

    Any ideas?

    Mangos version 5472
    wow client 2.3.3

    any feedback or ideas would be much appreciated!

    This whole thing is awesome. I am very excited about getting this going. Thank you Reaper for all the time and effort you have put into it - and also to the others who are knowledgable and willing to help people with problems...

    I am an extreme novice, so I could really use some help as well...

    I am on step 3 (didn't get very far yet obviously.. lol)

    Instead of a list 1, 2, 3 to chose from, it asks me questions. I read the posts and used the default "root" but now, it is asking for my "root password"...

    I have no idea what this is.. I never setup a password, and it will not go further until I answer this question.

    I would appreciate any assistance...

    Thanks!

    Welp all in all great installation, everything appears setup correctly, I go to run WoW and it brings up the patching screen, patch is data\enUS\expansion-speech-enUS.mpq about 103mb, dunno if this is normal, maybe I have overlooked something. I have patched from 2.3.0 to 2.3.2.

    Will have more details if i come across anything strange in my setup. Note the help with step #5 was great, got me fixed in about 5 mins. Thanks again.

    Reaper,

    I upgraded my server to core 2.4.1 (running Silvermoon PSDBx11 2.4.1), The server works, loaded fine...but my characters database from 2.3.3 appears to be having some sort of version conflict, I am not sure as to how that is happening. This is a serious issue, and is setting back my server's relaunch date a tad bit. When my players log into the world server, none of their characters are visible, and the mangos world server reports "broken data" in the characters "data" field. That is the only thing preventing them from properly loading. The characters are all there inside of the database, and I was sure to back up the characters database prior to upgrading. I am completely stumped. Any thoughts? Please respond.

    Phillip,

    Make certain that your MySQL service is running, for it may have crashed. This occurs sometimes after the 2.3.3 server has been running for any great length of time, that I've noticed anyway. You accomplish this by right-clicking on your "My Computer" icon, and selecting "Manage". Once inside of your computer management window, locate "Services". Within the panel to the right, scroll down until you see your "MySQL" service. If it is already started, but your server is still not connecting to the database, try restarting the service. That should get it up and running pretty fast. There are other things that may be preventing it from connecting, but this is the most common one that I've encountered. Write back to this forum if you are still experiencing the same issue, and I'll help you troubleshoot it further.

    Drizzt,

    Your Client (not your server) is reporting that its version is *not* compatible with your server's version. For both the Client and the Server to work together, they *must* have the same game version. For instance, if your server is version 2.4.1, but your Client is 2.3.3, and you have patching disable in your realmlist.wtf file, It will produce the very same problem that you are experiencing.

    Here is the solution:

    You have *one* of possible 2 things that need to be done in this scenario.

    1. If your Client version is greater than your server version, you need to depatch your client. I can explain this process *if* it is necessary that you take this step.

    2. If your Client version is lower than your Server version, you need to upgrade to your server's version.

    Let me know if this solves your issue.

    The problem I'm having goes sort of along the lines as what I think Philip (in his comment on 4/25/08 at 14:40) had (with the exception that my server hasn't been functional yet). When I run mangosd.exe here is the problem that occurs, fairly early on:

    Could not connect to MySQL database at 127.0.0.1: Access denied for user 'xxxx' @ 'localhost' to database 'xxxx'

    Taking Seige's advice I went into Computer Management and restarted MySQL, but this hasn't resolved anything for me.
    I'd greatly appreciate help with this :)

    I tried to install this last night, and I got a few error messages, and some things didn't look even remotely like this guide, so I winged it in a few parts, and that didn't work, so I'm asking for help now... First problem is on step 4, my menu does not look anything like that, but I push 1 anyways, and then I get 2 options, Unified Database and Project Silvermoon, which should I choose, and after that(I picked UD), I get 5 error messages saying Unhandled Exception:
    Cannot Print Exception string because Exception.ToString failed.

    and a popup saying RXFind has encountered and error and must close for each one.

    Chris: I think that your MySQL isn't operational, have you tried restarting your computer? I was having that error for a bit. Other than that, maybe try reinstalling MySQL. Maybe you didnt set it up properly, set up your MySQL exactly as Reaper Says. I tried differently and it messed up like yours. Try reinstalling

    First of all thanks so much for the outstanding program and guide!!!

    I got everything to work (including playing the game) except for when I run reaper-x-mangos.bat and select option "[7] Installs the Optional GM Island Vendors!"

    When I choose this option and enter the required info I get the "Matrix" screen followed by:
    Error 1136 (21S01) at line 24: Column count doesn't match value count at row 1

    I'm using "mangos" for the MaNGOS/World database name, which I assume is correct, but I'm not sure.

    thats cuz the custom vendors are only for the PS DB which reaper conveniently didn't include in the release

    @Prevas
    If you don't have the config option, you'll need to edit your config files manually, meaning that you open the .conf files with notepad, then change the password to your MySQL password.
    I hope this helps, I don't have enough patience for listing all options in the configs. :P

    Same exact problem here fox. To the letter. We have both obviously missed the same thing.

    " Loading Creature templates...
    Error in creature_template table, probably sql file format was updated (there should be 65 fields in sql). "

    Okay...I'm a n00b....found the fix...gonna try it...had the file on my hard drive allready, just hadn't run it yet, didn't think it would be the 'fix' to my problem. ..and I quote, from the website:

    "Apply Bug Fix 1 if you are having problems with creature templates, etc."

    When I open mangosd.exe I get the same error I have seen on about 5 previous posts.

    2008-09-28 09:52:55 ERROR:Could not connect to MySQL database at 127.0.0.1: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

    2008-09-28 09:52:55 ERROR:Cannot connect to world database 127.0.0.1;3306;root;mangos;mangos

    I have configured the mangosd.conf file and added in the Data dir and I have also tried re-installing three times all to no avail. Can someone look into this problem because I know a lot of other people have it too.

    TO: DanielRabin

    I ran into the same problem. My password was set incorrectly. Make sure the password you put into mysql and the password in the mangosd.conf file is the same. Read the blurb at the beginning of the mangosd.conf file to figure it out. good luck. you also have to keep mangosd and realmd running while you launch wow.

    Hi I get MaNGOS realmd can not bind to 0.0.0.0:3306 when I try to run realmd and I get this when I try to run mangosd

    World:Vmap config keys are :vmap.enableLOS,vmap.enableHeight,vmap.ignoremapids, vmap.ignorespellids
    Check existing of map file ' C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\World of Warcraft/maps' or *.vmap/*vmdir files in C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\World of Warcraft. Please place *.map/*.vmap/*.vmdir files in appropriate direcotires or correct the DataDIR value in the mangosd.conf file.

    I think the MangosD problem is that it's looking for C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\World of Warcraft/maps when it should be a backlash email is st.louis26@hotmail.com please post on my problem thanks.
