This tutorial is made by Skozzan!

This tutorial will help you make a Private Ascent Server and it will be Public w/o Hamachi!

Items Needed:
MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service - SQL Database
MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service - MySQL & SQLyog package
MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service - Ac Web Ultimate Repack

Server Setup!

1. Download all the files that is needed.
2. Extract Ac Web repack to somewhere on your PC.
3. Extract the SQL Database folder into the Ac Web folder.
4. Install MySQL and SQLyog that are in the .rar file.

But first of all!
Extract "Map Extractor enGB or enUS" and take that "ad.exe" and paste it into your default WoW folder. Create a folder thats called "maps". Now execute "ad.exe" and wait until it's done extracting. Now take the "maps" folder and paste it into your Ac Web folder e.g. C:\AC Web Ultimate Repack\Ascent\. That will create all the map locations in the game!

[Install MySQL]
1. Doubleclick the MySQL 5.1 Setup.exe and follow these pictures.

Now here you can put in w/e password you want to the MySQL Server.

Now the MySQL Server is setup.

[Install SQLyog]
1. Doubleclick the SQLyog 6.14 setup (trial).exe and follow these pictures.

Now press [Finish] to run SQLyog.

[Configure Database]
Follow these pictures to configure the database to the server.

1. Press [New..]

2. Type in "ascent" for the Name of the database.

3. Type in exactly the text into the different textboxes.

Type in the password you typed in when you installed MySQL!!

4. Now press connect and then press [Yes] to save changes. If the alert box isn't there, don't worry it's okay.

5. Now rightclick on root@localhost and select "Create Database"

6. Now type in ascent_char as the database name and select latin1 as Database Charset.

7. Do it again but this time, type in "ascent_world" as database name.

8. Now rightclick "ascent_char" and selsect "Restore From SQL Dump.."

9. Browse to the place you've putted the SQL database folder, and select "ascent_char" thats an .SQL file.

10. When you've found the SQL file and selected it. Press [Execute].

11. After executing, just press Cancel.

12. Now do the exact thing again, but rightclick on "ascent_world" and select Restore From SQL Dump.. With the browsing and executing.
And after thats done, press Cansel as well.
*WARNING* The "ascent_world" database will take about 30-40 minutes to execute! The time depends on how good your computer is.

Now to fix the .conf files.
This is the ascent.conf file to make it running on localhost!

* How to use this config file:                                                 *
* Config files are in a block->variable->setting format.                       *
* A < signifies the opening of a block, the block name is expected after that. * 
* After the block name, a space and then the settings sperated by = / ' '.     *
*                                                                              *
* e.g.                                                                         *

* Comments can be in C format, e.g. /* some stuff */, with a // at the start   *
* of the line, or in shell format (#).                                         *

# AscentStats Setup    *** PRIVACY NOTE: READ ME CAREFULLY ***
#
#    These are the values that the AscentStats client uses while communicating with an AscentStats server.
#    Statistics will be sent anonymously if a server guid is not set.
#    If you do not want your ascent client communicating with AscentStats servers, disable it here.
#    No personally-identifiable information is sent in these transmissions. The actual data sent is:-
#      stats=Ascent|PLATFORM|CONFIG|ARCH|REV|PLAYER|QUEUE|ALLIANCE|HORDE|AVGLAT|PEAK
#
#    If you don't mind your server transmitting this information, please leave AscentStats enabled. It
#    allows our developers to understand our users needs better and in the end provide you with a better
#    product.
#
#    Enable
#         To disable stat transmission completely, set this to 0.
#
#    ServerGUID
#         This is the GUID assigned to your server by the AscentStats server. To register your server, go
#         to http://www.example.com/ascentstats/register_server.php
#
#    ServerKey
#         This is the key used to secure stats sent by your server so they can't be forged. This key is
#         obtained after registering your server.
#
#    Default:
#         Enabled
#         Server Key "NONE"

Ports to open:

3306-3306
8093-8093
8129-8129
3724-3724

To start the server, first doubleclick "logonserver.exe" and wait until it says "Hooking Signals" then doubleclick the "ascent.exe" and wait til' it says:



Now just change the realmlist.wtf in your WoW Folder to "set realmlist 127.0.0.1". Save and then just play and have fun!

And for the Missing file: RapidShare: 1-Click Webhosting

Now this is the end of the tutorial!! Hope this works for you! Just post a reply and I'll answer if there is any problem!

[2dgreengiant]

Pliz me is this helps!! Bye bye

never ask for rep

also this IS NOT ac-webs repack as they have mysql built in!!

[Skozzan]

it is, I've just made the tutorial as i've done it.. and it works great! And i didn't knwo that it was inbuilt.. so i did this instead.. :P

[Athos11]

ok, i have imported the DB, done all those modifications..but when i tried to launch logonserver (or ascent)...BANG...error...missing MSVCP71.dll ...so i downloaded this file, copied in %windir%/system (and in the server dir, just to be sure) but the problem persists :| ...any idea?

You should take the missing file and but it in the Ascent folder, not in system!

[2dgreengiant]

this cant be ac-webs repack then as ac-web have built in mysql therefore you need to change the name of the post or something

[johangud]

how to create a acount?

[Athos11]

to create account go to ascent_char, then click Accounts, then click Content table and put ur details....am i wrong?

[Athos11]

here is the screenshot ImageShack - Hosting :: errorcx4.jpg the console is empty so i dragged it down

[thugmuch]

Uhh yeah. I got everything, and i mean EVERYTHING working perfectly fine up until the very end.

I boot up Logonserver.exe and after a sec it gets stuck on

Connecting to MySQL server on 'localhost' with (root: xxxxxxxx)



and then it closes. When I try ascent after this, it gets all the way to connecting to localhost , and then it says unable to connect to localhost and shuts down as well. Dunno what i did wrong in localhost, need help. Thanks.

[thugmuch]

Okay, I figured the problem.


As soon as I use my "external IP" for the non-hamachi server set-up,
the programs are unable to connect to the proper ports and continuously try again in 10 seconds.

I change them all to 0.0.0.0 and for the most part ir worked on the logonserver and the ascent.conf, but the realm.conf is still giving me problems.

[thugmuch]

Yeah...

Can't successfully bind to the ports upon using wither 0.0.0.0 OR my external IP...

lol, can some1 please help? This is frustrating me like never before.

[Neth'zul]

well i hope mine goes well right now im loading the 1000000000000000000000000000000 load of files for the ascent_world lol its been like an hour.

[DarkestDread]

I always seem to have a problem with MySQL First 3 dots check and when it gets to the 4th, Apply Security settings it w8s a couple mins and the program goes to (Not Responding)? Any Ideas?

[sharkie09]

When i run loginserver it waits a few seconds and exits out, and ascent just crashes every time i use it, any help?
