[Guide]How to run a Private Server

[Pedregon]

Heres my small guide on how to run a private server.

I WILL NOT however tell you how to make a private server!

Alright first of all for this guide you will need a private server.Im suggesting the following links :

Frostmourne Repack

Ac-Web Ultimate Repack

Or you can compile your own Server HERE

Azolex 2.4 Ultimate Blizzlike Repack [v1.4.2]

Apple's Ascent v3

Alright for the guide -

If you MUST host your private server on your computer here are some stuff you
might want -

Some recommended Firewalls are:

ZoneAlarm - ZoneAlarm by Check Point - Award winning PC Protection, Antivirus, Firewall, Anti-Spyware, Identity Protection, and much more.

Norton Personal Firewall - AntiVirus, Anti-Spyware, Endpoint Security, Backup, Storage Solutions | Symantec Corp.

McAfee Firewall - McAfee - Antivirus Software and Intrusion Prevention Solutions

An Antivirus is your clean up tool. If your hacker gets in and implants his programs to do his bidding, this is your only way to clean up what he has dumped on your harddrive.

Some recommended Anti-virus's are:

Norton Internet security - AntiVirus, Anti-Spyware, Endpoint Security, Backup, Storage Solutions | Symantec Corp.

AVG - AVG Anti-Virus and Internet Security - Real-time protection against viruses, spyware and malicious websites

Nod32 - Antivirus Software - Eliminate viruses with ESET NOD32 Antivirus and ESET Smart Security

Kaspersky - Antivirus Software: Kaspersky Lab - Protection Against Malware and Cybercrime

These are great for picking up known viruses, i suggest using more than one.

Alright for the rest of my guide -

Repost of my own thread :

If you do NOT want to host your own website heres somthing that you can do.

You will need a website host (not freewebs) that has php enabled. I recommend Freehostia. Then open your mysql manager program and make a new user. Give the new user all privileges and make his host %. The user and pass can be whatever you want. Then in the config file for your website put the hostname as your external ip.

Example :

$lang="en";			// Language ("en" - english, "ru" - russian)
$host="YOUR IP HERE";		// HOST for Antrix database
$user="root";			// USER for Antrix database
$password="password";		// PASS for Antrix database
$db="antrix";			// NAME of Antrix database
$hostr="YOUR IP HERE";		// HOST for Login database
$userr="root";			// USER for Login database
$passwordr="password";		// PASS for Login database
$dbr="antrix";			// NAME of Login database
$database_encoding = 'CP1251'; 	// Set encoding
$img_base = "img/";		// Image dir
$server = "YOUR IP HERE";		// Antrix Server Address
$port = "8129";			// Antrix Server Port
$title="WoW Server";		// Insert the title of your server here
$lock_acc=0;			// Lock created account to IP address (1 - on, 0 - off)
$lock_reg=0;			// Registration only one (or more) account from one IP address
				// 0 - not limit, 1 - one acc,  2 - two acc, etc...

User is the username you made and pass is the pass you made. Database name is logon.

Now just upload the files to freehostia or your php host and you've done it!
All you need to do is keep Mysql Running and you have a free FULLY working website for your server!

Now if you want your server updated for the newest patch and ascent,arc emu,ect core rivsion then heres a guide -

Either compile the newest ascent,arc emu core/revision or download a premde copy HERE ( You will need to register to see it ) the poster of that thread releases the latest Arc Emu Revisions.

Just download it and copy and paste it over your old ones ( not the configs of course ).

I will add more stuff later!

A small guide made by me and WoWLegend of course,hehe.
