Reaper Mangos Installation / Upgrade Guide
By Reaper-X on Jan 30, 2008 in Guide, Reaper Mangos, Reaper Mangos Mod
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p.s the image itself might be outdated but the process is still the same :)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) ;)
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 … :)
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
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
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)

Thiers a problem with 5. in the current5082 release, it says the this option doesnt work and so some people may get confused when it doesnt work so could you tell them the other option or I could tell them if you want me to.
Steve
(the bit about choosing option 4 is what i’m talking about)
So please find me in skype:azumruf
I can handle the problem with these maps!
I got problem when i start mangos.exe it says that map 0004331.map is non-compatible version
What can i do ?
Also says to creat new with ad.exe but don’t know how to use it…
Answer my questions please !!!

Can i have a direct guide on how to backup my character data? Every time i try to restore my already backed up data, it says:
The system cannot find the file specified
The system cannot find the file specified
The system cannot find the file specified
What files and how do i fix this. Can you answer my questions and give me a direct guide?
Thanks-
Evan
#Everyone that needs help with number 5,
I’ll be home in about an hour or so and i’ll write it up then so hold on…
Steve
#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.
Steve
# Evan
Could you tell me which revision you are using ? so i can take a look at it (and of course i’ll create a guide on how to backup your character data manually) :)
# Steveya
yes actually i’ve fixed that and will be included again on the next release and btw thanks for the help ;)
I have everything setup and can connect ot my server with my client. I can select the real in the real list but it continues to bounce back to the real list. I never make it to the create character screen. What do I do to fix this. Thanks for the help also.
sorry for the double post but it says logging into game server then bounces back to realm list. Missed the m on realm in the previous post as well. LOL

i installed this about 4 months ago but my hard drive i followed all the steps but when i run mangosd.exe and realmd.exe i get “unable to locate component this application had failed to start because MSVR71.dll was not found re-installing the application may fix the problem” i tried downloading and extracting again but it did not help
thanks -joe
but my hard drive died*
sorry i skipped through the other comments missed the link to the .dll, copied it to my system folder now everything is up and running. i wonder why i didn’t have that .dll
@Tomcat
@nikor
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
@Joe
scroll up reaper has already answered that from someone else and also gave out a link for you to go to.
I will be nice and give you the link but you might want to search next time

Reaper i would personally like to congratulate you on another great job! time and time again i use ur products and i am never dissapointed, it always works and u have great support. just for the record this package does work so guys look over what u have done and keep trying….trust me its worth it.
Thanks again Reaper!!!
@ knight00011
Thx, i did what you told me, but now it keeps giving me a constant look of the transport. I need to make an account on mangosd.exe, but there is no time to type anything and i don’t see the schreen reaper shows on 7.
i see the screen and i know how to make myself an account, but i can’t get the text to stop appearing, whenever i type in 2 letters something in the line of “Booty Bay Shp moved to -4333.299561″
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?
@ Travis
Yes you should have files in there, if they have gone missing, make new ones by running the MapExtractor program again.
@ Tomcat
I tried to make maps again by running extract-map.bat in the
C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\data\enUS
it is still not putting any files in the Maps folder. Not sure what else to do.
@ Travis
you don’t have to place it there, you have to place it in the root of your game, in your case “C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft” and not in data.
@Tomcat
WewT! That worked! Thanks for the help!
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.
Ok, so i finaly created an account, but when i wanted to start playing, it said it was an invallid version, so i updated, when i restarted mangosd.exe, it gave me an error: “Error in ‘item_template’ table, probably sql file format was updated (there should be 141 fields in sql).”
I know it is updated, i just did that, but how do i fix it?
Well heres my problem, the Mangosd.exe has this, and will not do anything but this…
Incorrect DataDir value in mangosd.conf or ALL required *.dbc files not found by path: D:\WoW\Data/dbc.
Now, Im a bit lost..Im using the version which works with 2.3.3 so can someone please help?..
And if you can comment back asap tha would be good..im having GF problems..and i need this to take my mind off it.
@ my old post, I need help with #7+ if someone can help.
Hey, someone can help me?
When I run mangosd.exe, it says that my ‘item_template’ has some problems and it may be outdated. What I do to fix that?
I am using the lastest version of the Reaper Mangos(5116)
I guess no one cares, but, I took the following actions to see if this would help.
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
http://www.reaper-x.com/2007/10/10/wow-mangos-map-vmaps-and-dbc-extraction-guide/
SELECT 1 FROM `account` WHERE `username`=’root’

can some1 help me with this
DBC error
You have _outdated_ DBC files. Please extract correct versions from current using client.
_______________________________________________
I Have tried everything, patch up to date, runnin on windows xp, got new version of mangos 5116, re extracted DBC files adn matrixed again with correct file path. Plz help, it’s got me confused.
when i run mangosd exe it says that my DCB files are outdated and i need to extract the current ones from client but as far as i can tell they are up to date as shown above how do i fix this problem?
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.
I did all the things listed, but when im done and have to start realmd.exe and mangosd.exe they both give an error: Cannot connect to world database. What can i do about this
alright, so i figured out how to fix that side-by-side error, now how do i actually get into it to play?
i click connect… it says unable to connect… how do I fix this problem… I have WoW 2.3.3 and mysql 5.0.51. i’m on vista and got around the “side-by-side” error for the mysql. but i can’t connect to play.
i’m also using reaper mangos 5116
I think it may have something to do with realmd.exe. I can’t type in it, and it also doesn’t seem to do anything when i run it. How long should it take to complete?
how do u install v 5225 on a linux box i looked in the readme and there was was no installation guide that shows for linux server
Thx again :D
I just changed my OS from win xp to Vista and after 2-3 hour i have at last installed the private server.
Respect to your work with mangos.
#johaan
i have the same problem…in fact when anyone tries to make a character from any connection on any account they can’t see it on the character list
download mySQL 6.0 it works
heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp me please im going through a real stressful time and i need this to take my mind off it but when i try to run mangosd it stops and says
2008-02-17 21:40:05 ERROR:Map file ‘C:/wow/data/maps/0004331.map’ is non-compatible version (outdated?). Please, create new using ad.exe program.
2008-02-17 21:40:05 ERROR:Correct *.map files not found in path ‘C:/wow/data/maps’ or *.vmap/*vmdir files in ‘C:/wow/data/vmaps’. Please place *.map/*.vmap/*.vmdir files in appropriate directories or correct the DataDir value in the mangosd.conf file.
During my setup, I first met the problem Tomcat and nikor noticed above, and when I fixed that problem I got a new error message:
Loading MaNGOS strings…
SQL: SELECT ‘entry’,'content_default’ FROM ‘mangos_string’
query ERROR: Table ‘wow private server.mangos_string’ doesn’t exist
==================================100%

What should I do to fix this problem?
Great job… easy to follow and set up.
I have been stymied a bit by a Warning the from the server…
SD2 :WARNING >> Loaded 0 Localized_Texts. DB table ‘Localized_Texts’ is empty
and
SD2: WARNING >> Loaded 0 EventAI_Scripts. DB table ‘Event_AI_Scripts’ is empty.
This does not seem to make the server not work but it is puzzling. is this a normal message ? or should I look for problems.

I am also having this problem, Did it not import this table with the rest of them? I do see atleast what looks like the other tables in ..\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\data\mangos
I’ve tried for several hours to fix it, searching for it, didn’t turn up much.
Please Help :(

I got one error “Could not connect to MySQL database at 127.0.0.1: can´t connect to MySQL server on 127.0.0.1″ what´s wrong? thx for help=)
i am getting a msg
“Could not connect to MySQL database at 127.0.0.1: acces denied for user ´jepe ´@´localhost´
cannot connect to database.” ???
# 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 ;)
Dear Reaper,
Thanks for advice on the mysql installation.
Now i have some problem. where can i download the reaper mango 5225 software? hope you are able to provide me the link, thanks once again… ed
# Edan
You can always look for the new release from the homepage directly ( http://www.reaper-x.com ) or you can also take a look at the footer section or you can also browse through the reaper mangos archive
“ERROR 1064 at line 1: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near’s world’, ’sddress’ = ‘127.0.0.1′ WHERE ‘ id’ = 1 LIMIT 1; SELECT * FROM ‘realmli’ at line 1″ i’m not sure what this means, can anyone help?
mmmk… fixed another problem i was having… now i can get to the realm list, but can’t get to the create a character part, I may have missed through the posts, but if someone could point me in the right direction?
i got the same problem as Frank. On step 7 when i start mangosd.exe and realmd.exe, neither can connect. Everything before that worked though
ok i got the mangosd.exe to go a little farther, but now it says i have an outdated DBC file, how do i get the most recent one?
as for the realmd.exe, it says “No valid realms specified.”
Reaper, Good work!
I need a little help. Sorry if I missed the answer.

I have every thing done no errors it seems to be running. then when I try to connect it can’t I have changed my ip addres port # and I can get as far a authenticating and it stops.
I have gone from ip 127.0.0.1 to 192.168.1.100:3306 or 8805 and I get the best respons from port 3306 please help I don’t know where I have messed up or what I need to change. I have followed you instuctions to the letter I even printed them out.
but now I have(had) the server running, but after dying at a boss in SSC, I cannot rezz, so I tried to .ressurect, but I kinda ressurected but then died again, then mangosd crash when loading character corpses, and everytime I try to start it it crashes again. I tried getting a new mangosd but it didn’t work. How do I delete/fix/move characters?

im running windows vista sql 6.0
Hey im having a problem with the first step when i put my sql directory in it doesnt come up with options 1, 2 , 3 etc..
By-passed that problem now im having problems with it saying it cannot locate my dbr files in my wow/data but ive checked and double checked and triple checked and its there,
ok my past 2comments make no sense really, when i start from putting in my SQL link, from there everything goes different from what the instructions say wayy different and im not sure if its something im doing or if its supposed to do that, once i just kept clicking enter and i got me through the “matrix thing lol” and then when it camt to puting in for where the DBC is it said it wasnt there but im purdy sure that ive gone 100% wrong from the begining becouse its all so different to the instructions..
I’m having trouble running my mangosd.exe, it shows a quick error that I can’t type in here real quick but it says that it can’t find config file.
im getting an “unable to connect” message from WoW, my realmlist.wtf is “set realmlist 127.0.0.1″
Whenever i try to run Mangosd.exe it says cannot connect to world database.
Anyone know the reason why? or why it could be?
thanks much.
I fixed #5, but now i got this one:
Check existing of map file ‘C:/WoW/maps/5301243.map’ not exist!
I personally checked and in the maps directory there isn’t file with that name…
I’m using GB version…
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

REAPER/ANYONE HELP ME, my mangosd and realmd will not launch please help!!!!!!
I cannot get mangosd or realmd to connect to world database. How do I fix this?
I could not connect to mysql database..says access denied.
Ok lol Everything I did now was correct…how do I connect to the server? I went to wow launcher and It is unable to connect and it shows no realm. I have changed the realmlist to set realmlist 127.0.0.1 so I’d like to know how to connect. Which programs must be running in order to connect?
I’m able to login and view the realm list and my server show online but when I double click it to connect it immediately drops me back into the realm list. No errors and nothing stands out in any log files. I noticed a couple of other people having problems after what appears to be a successful install too.
someone please help me , my mangosd.exe and realmd.exe will not open. It opens then closes like a second later. Cant read wut it says . Someone please help.
The installation was succesful but when I tried to run the mangosd.exe and the realmd.exe
the mangosd.exe doesn’t load up all the way

I’ve already tried uninstalling and deleting all directory files and started all over from the installation and patching up of the World of Warcraft directory files and folders, and tried reinstalling ReaperMangos5225
