Making Your Mangos Server Live (Noob Friendly)

[reddragon69g]

First of all I use the repack server from 711 it is easy to set up:

Step 1) Go to No-IP - Dynamic DNS, Static DNS for Your Dynamic IP

Step 2) Sign Up

Step 3) Sign In

Step 4) Click "Add" under "Hosts/Redirects" in the left hand column

Step 5) Fill in the "Hostname" field and nothing else

Step 6) Click "Create Host" at the bottom of the page

Step 7) Open up your MANGOS folder

Step Open up your Realmd.conf with Notepad

Step 9) Scroll down till you see :

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

Step 10) Change the "127.0.0.1" to the host you made at no-ip.com(Ex:host.no-ip.biz)
Step 11) Open your Mangosd.conf with Notepad

Step 12) Scroll down till you see 3 lines :

RealmID = 1
DataDir = "."
LogsDir = ""
LoginDatabaseInfo     = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;root;realmd"
WorldDatabaseInfo     = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;root;mangos"
CharacterDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;root;characters"
MaxPingTime = 30
WorldServerPort = 8085
BindIP = "0.0.0.0"

Step 13) Change the "127.0.0.1" in each line to your noip.com host
Example of this :

RealmID = 1
DataDir = "."
LogsDir = ""
LoginDatabaseInfo     = "host.no-ip.biz;3306;root;root;realmd"
WorldDatabaseInfo     = "host.no-ip.biz;3306;root;root;mangos"
CharacterDatabaseInfo = "host.no-ip.biz;3306;root;root;characters"
MaxPingTime = 30
WorldServerPort = 8085
BindIP = "0.0.0.0"

Step 14) Start up your "Mysql" in your MANGOS Folder

Step 15) The Start up Navicat for mysql

***For those who don't have it here are steps to get it for FREE***
Go to [ame="http://youtube.com/watch?v=UxC9da7Df_Y"]YouTube - Navicat 8.0 MySQL Full Version For Free[/ame]
and click more info on the left and download it
then follow his guide and when prompted by navicat click registeration
then type anything in the regristartion
and fill all the spaces in the key field
then click ok
*****

Step 16) Click Connection

Step 17) Fill in:
Connection Name: (Type Whatever)
Hostname/IP Address: localhost
Port: 3306
Username: root(or whatever this is for your server...usually root)
Password: root(or whatever this is for your server...usually root)
Save Pass : Yes

Step 1 Click Ok then Double Click the New Connection

Step 19) Double click the "Realmd" database on the drop down menu

Step 20) In the section to the right click the "Realmlist" table

Step 21) You'll see:
1...MANGOS...127.0.0.1...8085(in boxes not actually seperated by dots)

Step 22) Change the "127.0.0.1" again to your host you made
Example: 1...MANGOS...host.no-ip.biz...8085(no dots...boxes)

Step 23) Then Exit out of Navicat and your done...your server is live

ooops i forgot to say you also need to download the no-ip.com client and run it then it should work

[Varlog]

So i made a no-ip and everything u said, it worked good for the first few minutes but now i cant connect to it, not in browser and not in client.
Is it something with no-ip ( site works tho ) or is it me?

[reddragon69g]

i'm new to making guides....but tht has 2 b something wrong with no-ip or somthing because it should work fine it works fine on my computer

[plokami]

Nice guide. +rep despite the fact that there are countless of them

[reddragon69g]

Yeah...sorry about the repost but i wanted to see if i could make it even more simpl and helpful!

[Ltleontis54321]

hey im runnin plokami's WotLK server and cant get it public and cant find any other public guides for mangos! this is the only one and it doesn't work any help out there? Anyone?

[plokami]

i updated my guide with a way to make it public with hamachi Ltleontis.Not the best way to get it public but may help u if u cant in any other way.Tbh reddragon's guide is better at the fact that many players dont wanna join hamachi and that hamachi rooms get full quicly.

you are 200% wrong you don't edit the ip address in the config files unless the the mysql database is on another computer!!!
you need to got int to your mysql GUI (navicat,SQLyog,ect.)
and find the realmlist table and edit that IP to the DNS or ip that you want


plus you need to edit the host file under "C:Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\" it should look something like this

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

127.0.0.1       localhost

then add this to the end

internal ip    DNS here

external ip   DNS here

to find the internal ip run cmd and type in

ipconfig

to find the external ip go to What is my IP address? Show my IP address. IP Tracer & IP Locator. and that should be your ip
