Create a 2.3.0 server REALLY EASy

[dabaddest]

- MaNGOS
I used Bitlord to download MaNGOS.
So here is the bitlord link:
BitLord - The Ultimate Torrent Downloader
I used Bitlord v.1.1 Stable Version, but it does'nt really matter.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.
Ok, when the downlaod for Bitlord has finished, select run.
- Choose your language, press ok.
- Next
- Agree
- Now the componant's part, I had them all selected, but it does not matter.
- Next
- Install
- Finish

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.
- Now run Bitlord
- Select search
- Type MaNGOS into the Bittorrent search box.
- Click search
- Select MaNGOS WoW Server 2.0.8 - DJ eXeCute and save.
- Open the file
- Press ok
- The file will now start downloading, this may take a while,
it depends on your internet connection speed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.
- While this is being downloaded you can change your realmlist WTF file.
- This can be found in your World of Warcraft folder.
- Open the realmlist WTF file with notepad
- Set the realmlist to: set realmlist (your ip address).
- You can find your ip address by:
-Start, run, type "CMD" without "" and search and click ok.
- Now type "ipconfig" without "".
- Find your ip address.
- Now you can set your realmlist.
So it will be: set realmlist (your ip address).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok now that this is done we just need to wait for MaNGOS to download...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.
When Bitlord has finished downloading MaNGOS, you need to:
- Double click on files (This can be found on the left hand side of bitlord),
under trackers and above peers.
- Now an installation box will come up for MaNGOS,
this has everything you need for your server.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.
- When the installation is complete:
- Go to were you saved MaNGOS.
The folder should be named (MaNGOS WoW Server).
- Now double click on SERVERCONTOL.
- When the MaNGOS Server Control Panel window appears:
- Click on Apache & SQL
- Click on Start MaNGOS
- Click on Start Realm

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.
Now to making your GM Account!
- Go back to the MaNGOS Server Control Panel window
- Click on Register GM Account
- Now a new internet explorer/firefox page should come up.
- Enter your username and password
For example
Username: Admin
Password: admin
- Now you have made a GM Account!
To make a GM Account/ Normal Account you need to have:
- Start MaNGOS running
- Start Realm running
Make sure them two are running a the two windows are open!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8.
Now to editing the server.
- Go back to the MaNGOS Server Control Panel window.
- Click on Server Name/ Address
- Now a new internet explorer/firefox page should come up.
- Now enter your desired realm name
- In the Realm IP you need to enter you IP Address...
remember how we found it earlier!
- Click on Submit form.
Now your server should be running!
To edit the server you need to have:
- Start MaNGOS running
- Start Realm running
Make sure them two are running a the two windows are open!
Just like last time!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well done you have now made your private server!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For friends to play on the server they need to change there set realmlist to:
set realmlist YOUR IP ADDRESS

To register your friends to your server you need to make there accounts...
There maybe a way were they can create there own account,
but im not sure how to do that yet [IMG]http://www.************/forum/images/smilies/smiley.gif[/IMG]

To make your friend an account:
- Go to MaNGOS Server Control Panel.
- Click on register account and do the same as you did with your GM Account.
- Your friends can also be GM's, so just click on register GM Account if your
giving them a GM Account.
Remember to have:
- Start MaNGOS running
- Start Realm running
Make sure them two are running a the two windows are open!
Just like last time!
