Saw this question a few times here but didn't see any answers.
I've been working on trying to solve this problem for 2 days now.
I downloaded the core
extracted the mangos files
ran the Start MySQL.bat // Apache.exe // realmd.exe // mangosd.exe
changed set realmlist to 127.0.0.1
created a username and password in the mangosd
but when I try to login it takes me to the realm list that says lightbringer but doesn't allow me to connect
it was picking up my activity as well

can't get past this part

so I disabled my firewall. Opened the 3 ports that were listed on the forums (3724, 8085, 3306) but I believe those are used when you wanted to open your router to other players
reinstalled mangos a 2nd time and put it on my C:
Fired up the .bat and .exe programs in the correct order
Tried logging in using admin/admin
I know it's not a problem with the realmlist which would just immediately say "disconnected from server"
It sits on the "Connected" or on the realm list screen.
When I reinstalled every thing the 2nd time I didn't use the Apache.bat
I changed all the BindIP in mangosd.conf and realmd.conf to localhost and then a 2nd time to 127.0.0.1
and also with the mysql server running goto batch->Change Realm IP and entered localhost then 2nd time to 127.0.0.1
I got this error with both localhost and 127.0.0.1

I then reset everything back to normal and inserted 127.0.0.1 everywhere except in the BindIP locations.
Through the batch file I opened the "Change Realm ID.bat" and typed in my IP that the website myipaddress.com gave me.
These last steps seem to have gotten me closer with it going straight to the pick your realm type screen.
Edit: I also tried what the person that I quoted tried and deleted both my WBD/WTF folders
Edit2: I also have been shutting down the mangosd.exe with the Stop mangosd.exe ever since I reinstalled it to avoid it becoming corrupted.
