I downloaded the ascent 2.4.2 repack, and copied a wow folder over with the patches up to 2.4.2838 something. This is a private server for myself on my computer only.
according to my control panel, Mysql, logonserver, ascent and apache are running, it says Your server is running! Leave the window open. My realmlist is set to what it is supposed to be. I log in with admin, get to the realm select screen and there is one server, the Ascent server with a medium pop. I click to use that server and it says connected then just stays on connected, it never actually lets me create a character or anything. Any ideas?
