first restart wow, sometimes its display error.
second change plrupdatedist. in ascent.conf to around 800

third make sure you have following tables in DB
Creature_names
Creature_proto
Creature_loot
Creature_spawns
Creature_Staticspawns

I suggest you get a newer DB. You have probably gotten an old DB that is not compatible with the rev you are using.

try this...
search this in your ascent.conf file:

 
#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#
# Startup Options
#
# Preloading
# This directive controls whether the entire world will be spawned at server
# startup or on demand. It is advised to leave it disabled unless you are a
# developer doing testing.
# Default: off
#
# Background Loot Loading
# This directive controls whether loot will be loaded progressively during
# startup or in the background in a seperate thread. Turning it on will
# result in much faster startup times.
# Default: on
#
# Multithreaded Startup
# This controls whether the server will spawn multiple worker threads to
# use for loading the database and starting the server. Turning it on
# increases the speed at which it starts up for each additional cpu in your
# computer.
# Default: on
#
#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#
 
<Startup Preloading = "0"
BackgroundLootLoading = "1"
EnableMultithreadedLoading = "1">

make sure it is set to this:
<Startup Preloading = "1"
BackgroundLootLoading = "1"
EnableMultithreadedLoading = "1">
