[HELP] Little Bit of Confusion

[Hardball]

Hello all. Just signed up today via a freind, never even knew what this place was. But you all seem knowlageable in the areas of emulation so maybe someone can help me.

I run a Private server based off of Ascent and i just stumbled across the ManGOS WotLK server. So here is my issue. Is it ossible to run both ascent and mangos at the same time? I mean i set it all up and it seems to work fine HOWEVER apparently there was an error brought to my attention by my players. While the ManGOS server was running along side with the asent one players who had the ascent realmlist set were coming across invalid game version?

Now ascent and mangos are both on separate realmlists. But once i shut the ManGOS down they were able to get on the ascent like nothing ever happened. So my only theory is that something in the config files were messed up maybe with conflicting ports but I am not so sure. So can anyone maybe shed some light on this issue and tell me if it is possible to run an ascent and a mango on the same computer at the same time or what has to be changed in the config files? Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you

It has to do what what port each is running on. Usually, the server runs out of port 8129 (You can't have two servers running through the same port, which explains why only one works until the other goes off). You can just change the port in the ascent-realm.conf to 8130 and it should work.

<Realm1 Name = "Realm2"
Address = "IP:8130"
Icon = "Normal"
Colour = "1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">

As opposed to the other server which will have:

<Realm1 Name = "Realm1"
Address = "IP:8129"
Icon = "Normal"
Colour = "1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">

Also, if voice chat is used, change the port there for that server's voice chat conf.

Oh yeah i did that. But these two servers are different they are not both ascent. One is Ascent and one is Mangos. And the port numbers arent the same in ANY of the config files for ascent OR in mangos.

thats because u cant run 2 mysql at the same time i think

[Hardball]

Yeah that was my next thought. But the MySQL is the same it is just different databases?

[guitargod218]

Try making a separate service for one of the server that utilizes port 3307 (for example) instead of the default port 3306, then go through the configs for one of the servers and change the info to match the 3307 service. If you do this you'll need to copy your database files into there, so I'd recommend Navicat to mass export the information. If that doesn't work, I have no clue what to do.

Why not use one mysql server? :/
No need to install two mysql services, nor to run apache twice.

[guitargod218]

I think that it's because when he does, one takes presidence over the other and disallows access through the ports, which is why ascent won't run when ManGOS is up.

[TheSpidey]

Mais, non.

You don't need a copy of MySQL for every DB you're running. By your logic, one would need one instance of MySQL for each realm, for the logonserver, for the site, etc.

No. You need just one instance.

[guitargod218]

Okay, I'm just trying to figure out what's wrong here so that this guy can get his servers up. Sorry if I throw out retarded ideas.

[Gastricpenguin]

Also, im fairly certain a mangosd realm will not connect to an ascent logonserver, or vise versa

[TheSpidey]

They won't, but they might try if configured to the same port

[metehan]

You will have to do some serious coding to get them on the same realmlist.

[TheSpidey]

Not worth it IMO. Just give players two realmlists :P

[Hardball]

That is actually what i want. Both of these realms arent even on the same realmlist. However here is what I tried doing. I tried changing the realmd port for mangos to 3725 where as Ascnet's is defaulted to 3724 so here is what happened then. Now this is going to seem out there but what happened there was that when running the WotLK client it hooked me into my other server which is the normal fun server ran on by ascent. EVEN though i was using the mangos realmlist.

I dont understand it. I mean when trying to run multiple ascent servers on the same realmlist all you do is change the world port,

Mangos which is a completly different server on a completly separate realmlist will either cancel out ascent's logon server even though on a different port OR will run and cause palyers trying to log onto ascent to get a version mismatch error mainly becasue mangos is running the 3.0.1 client. There has to be some solution. There always is.
