[shadowstep0705]

when does the 3.2.0 version come out? cause wheni connect to my realm it says "a new version of wow is available please restart"

[Khameo20]

i know this has been said a million times before but can ANYONE please explain how to fix this problem in depth, Mangosd just keeps crashing and restarting constantly when i run the restarter and when i run them seperately the same happens

i downloaded the SQLyog community edition like it said here, and first i used localhost as the MySQL host address, with root as the username and password, but when i try to connect it says "Cant connect to MySQL server on 'localhost'

so then i tried 127.0.0.1 as the host address with root as username and pass and the same error came up, "Cant connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1'

can anyone go into great detail on how to do this because i have no idea lol

boy,you dont need to download mysql. the repack comes with it.
if you have a previous mysql service running you have to uninstall it completly and then install the repack
uninstall the repack, the mysql service an program and then install the repack again. always use the starter batch file to start the server. it starts the mysql batch, then the restarter which opens realmd and mangos.
dont modify the .conf files if you dont know what yur doing
sqlyog doesnt connect because mysql is offline. seek the mysql batch in the mangos folder and open it. then you can use sqlyog, quice, navicat, etc.

dont be a leecher...

i dont have a previous MySQL, i made sure of that before i downloaded this one, so thats not it

and i did use the starter batch file to start it, it still does the same thing, realmd shows up, then mangosd, but then mangosd keeps crashing and restarting, the restarter says "crashing...restarting...crashing" over and over again

i looked in the crash log and this is what all of them say:

## Crash! 9/2/2009 12:30:29 PM. .\mangosd.exe has crashed! Lines logged from server.log

EDIT: and i have read through every page of this thread and found other people with the same problem... i even tried uninstalling everything having to do with mangos and mysql on my comp and installed the repack again and unchecked "extract DBC and maps" in the installer

i went to the folder and extracted them myself using the ad.exe to make sure that it was using the extractor that came with the repack, then put maps and dbc folders in the root mangos folder, yet the same thing happened with the same exact crash log as above

have you put ad.exe into your wow directory ran it and move the created dbc folder and maps folder into your mangos directory? (that fixed it for me.)

Hey this runs perfect thanks!

The only problem I have is that my characters are always taking one physical damage (99% of the time), when they should be taking more and do on official servers? Have I done something wrong?

[Hjustin2]

yes and yes, no problems at all

What if i only had TBC expansion. 3.1.3. Finally got the Lich King installed but its at 3.0.2 and it tries to patch to 3.2. i got to dl rapid share or something.

[Hjustin2]

Dl my windows update 3.5 fram net sp1 and all workd for me.

Was just curious as to the release version of MaNGOS this repack uses? Want to make sure I have the latest core. FTR, I am not a leecher, just been away for a while. Will contribute where I can.

You can manually patch your client with the files here:
World of Warcraft - Mirrors, Patches, Files
Just select the ones you need and the OS you have.

I may just be taking a shot in the dark but what was the version of your client when you went to install the server. Seems to me that based on these errors that I have highlighted, you may have used the wrong version of the client to rip the maps off. If you are running ver3.2.2 you need to downgrade your client to 3.1.3.

Update: I am going to be building my own server using the master MaNGOS source binary. When I went to run it I got this error. I believe my original explanation is true in the fact that you ripped the maps and dbc files from the wrong client version because I forgot to patch to 3.2.2 when I got my new setup configured and it only supports 3.2.2, not 3.1.3.

Anyone have any luck running this with Mcaffee, I have run this before after completely shutting the program down and my router(I don't use this for a public private server but for exploration, general messing around). Mcaffee now doesn't allow for a complete shutdown and still interferes with the server (crashes the server/restarter over and over again). Anyone have any workarounds or solutions? Thanks.

I am running Mcafee Security Center and am having no problems at all. Make sure the program exception is in there for mangosd.exe, realmd.exe and mysqld.exe. You can find a list of program permissions in your firewall settings. Hope this helped.

I am having the same issue, tried to change the creature damage modifier in the .conf file but that made no diff.

If you are willing to do the work you can get the source code for MaNGOS that supports 3.2.2. Just go to getmangos.com > Home

You will need to compile it and setup everything yourself though.
