[GUIDE] MaNGOS 2.4.3 Super Simple Server Setup Wizard (noobpack+)
[COLOR=Yellow]Download the Wizard: Mediafire, 2shared, Rapidshare, Filebeam, Megaupload
Preliminary Notes:
This new wizard does everything for you. Pretty much all you have to do is click "Next" a few times, and you've got a working 2.4.3 server installed. It even extracts your maps for you, if you want it to, because I know many people have trouble with that.
Your realmlist is changed for you. Your old realmlist is saved in a file called "realmlist.wtf.old". Simply run "realmreset.bat" to revert to your old realmlist.
An uninstaller is included. This will remove the entire server, including the database with all characters, custom items, etc. The uninstaller will automatically run realmreset.bat to save you the trouble. The maps folder will be preserved, should you wish to use the maps you spent so long extracting with another repack.
Install instructions:
1) Run the setup program and follow the onscreen instructions.
2) Click "Run MaNGOS" in the new folder in your start menu.
3) Run WoW and log in with username "0", "1", "2", or "3". The higher the number, the higher the GM level. Password is same as username.
Common Tasks:
Creating more accounts:
With the server running, select the mangosd window and type "create usernamehere passwordhere" to make a new account, "setbc usernamehere 1" to enable TBC, and "setgm usernamehere X" where X is 0, 1, 2 or 3.
Connecting to the database:
Run a SQL client like SQLyog and log in to localhost (127.0.0.1) with username 'root' and password 'root'. For more help connecting to the database, please watch this animated GIF.
Changing the realm name:
Open "realmlist" table in the "realmd" database and change the "name" cell to the desired realm name.
Allowing others to connect to the server:
Open "realmlist" table in the "realmd" database and change the "address" cell to your external IP, then, if applicable, forward ports 3724 and 8085 on your router and/or firewall.
Completely and properly shutting down the server:
First, right click the restarter (looks like a fish) icon in your system tray (where the clock is) and click exit. Now close out the mangosd and realmd windows by hitting the x button. Next, click "Stop MySQL Service" in the Tools folder in the appropriate start menu folder. Once the MySQL service has been shutdown, you can click the x button to close that window as well.
Troubleshooting:
"Cannot connect to database".
Make sure MySQL is running without errors! The "is there another server running on port 3306" error means you have another copy of MySQL running already. You need to disable or uninstall it before running the included mysql server. To do this, press ctrl+alt+del and click task manager. Open the "Processes" tab and sort by "image name". Find the one that starts with "MySQL", click it, and click End Process. If there is no other MySQL server running, you're getting another error, so run the included "MySQL Debug", take a screenshot, and post it here.
I can connect to and view the realmlist, but the realm says "offline" and I can't connect to it
Check the restarter.exe and mangosd.exe windows. Make sure the server isn't crashing and just reopening itself every few seconds and that it has finished loading. If That doesn't fix the issue, run the included "Mangos Debug", take a screenshot, and post it here.

Hello, and first thank you for this repack,
I have a question about " Allowing others to connect to the server, ", which file " Realmlist " should i open in order to modify the realm adress ?
' Sorry about my english '
EDIT : I succeed in " Allowing others to connect to the server, " I modified the " Realmd.conf " file in the " /MANGOS " Director, by putting my IP adress instead of 127.0.0.1, but once the players get logged in, they get stucked in the Realm selection screen, they select " Mangos Realm " ( for exemple ), and when they click on OK, they come back on the realm selection screen, ever and ever, where is the problem ?

You don't edit realmd.conf, you edit the database. See the information on connecting to the database and what to edit. If you still have issues with connecting to realms, please see the related troubleshooting entry.

You have made the easy process of setting up your repack even easier with this new installer. I am impressed with how well it worked. I do have a question about these errors I see when I fire it up though.
2008-08-22 23:17:57 Spell 35094 listed in `spell_proc_event` does not exist
2008-08-22 23:18:05 Item (Entry: 849 not correct 20655 display id, must be 44666 (using it).

2008-08-22 23:18:22 Spell 16824 listed in `spell_affect` does not exist
There is like a page and a half of these (just pasted a few here). I noticed this with your regular 2.4.3 noob pack as well, where are these creatures and spells?
Also I noticed this pop up

did I miss a step or something?
Even with these errors, I logged on as username 0 pw 0 and it loaded up fine.

Beasty, those are just formality errors with the release of UDB this pack uses, they won't affect gameplay at all.
To everyone with trouble making their server public, I refer you to the following guides:
http://www.mmowned.com/forums/mangos...-friendly.html
http://www.mmowned.com/forums/mangos...c-hamachi.html
http://www.mmowned.com/forums/mangos...chi-guide.html
http://www.mmowned.com/forums/mangos...er-mangos.html
This guide is not intended to teach you how to take your mangos server and it a 24/7 public service to the community. The specific purpose is far simpler than that, as well as far more specific. All this guide is meant to teach you is how to get from point a (no mangos server) to point b (working mangos server) in as few steps as possible. For more generalized questions about networks and connectivity, please either see the above guides, or conduct your own research on the matter.
