Might be... but you'd have to state your error first.:confused:

It says The security setting could not be applied to the database because the connection has failed with the following error.

Error Nr. 1045
Acess Denied for user 'root'@'localhost'(Using Password Yes)

If a personal firewall is running on your machine,please make sure you have opened the TPC 3306 for connections.Otherwise no client application can connect to the server.After you have opened the port please press [Retry] to apply the security settings.If you are reinstalling or unistalling the MYSQL server please note that the data directory was not removed automaticly.Therefore the old password from your last installation is still needed to connect to the server.In that case please skip now and re-run the Configuration Wizard to the start menu.

Question.... Do you have a Firewall?

Ascent 2.3.x Server w/ Mafiaboys Repack
by Zackala

First of all Hi
This is my first guide and its rather simple. I hope it can help u set up a new Ascent server

Notice!!!
I have changed a small but important part at #3 -> ascent.conf. Changes marked in RED and easy to see!


1. Downloads
WinRAR - http://www.rarlab.com/rar/wrar371.exe
Mafiaboy's Repack - Filebeam - Free Fast File Hosting (not mine, full credit to Mafiaboy)
MySQL 5.0.45 - http://mysql.oss.eznetsols.org/Downl...0.45-win32.msi
Navicat 8 - http://www.mysqlstudio.com/download/...8_mysql_en.exe

2. Installation
A) Save the Repack to the Desktop or whereever you like it. Open it and go to the Folder Ad.exe. Look for the file in wich u installed your WoW (deDE=German, enUS= English etc.). Copy this file into your WoW directory where your WoW.exe and Launcher.exe also are. Then make a new Folder called "maps" w/o the "". Execute the ad file (this may take a while). When finished, drag the maps folder into your Repack folder ( \Mafiaboy's Repack\maps ) .

B) Open the MySQL installation file. Click Next. Select Typical and click Next.


Press Install and finish up the installation. At the end leave Configure now selected and press Finish.


Hit Next, select "Standard Configuration" and go on.


Type in "root" as a Service Name and hit Next.


Type in a password that you can remeber hit Next and Execute.

C) Open Navicat, hit Next several times, then install. Open Navicat. Go to File->New Conenction. Use anything what you like as a Connection Name, "root" as the user and the password you entered at mysql at the password field.


Right Click on your connection and hit New Database. Call this DB "ascent" (w/o "" ofc).

Make another DB called "ascentlogon" (once again w/o "" ^^) .
Now Double and then Rightclick on ascent and select Execute Batch File...


Go to your Repack Folder then to DATABASES and select ascent9. Hit Start. This may take a while.


When finished Execute a Batch file for ascentlogon. This time use the file character wich is located in the same directory as ascent9. When finished enter the ascentlogon DB and double click accounts on the right hand side.



In the following Table enter your desired Logon name and Logon password. If u wish to be a gm type in "az" (w/o "") in the gm part. At flags type in an "8" (w/o "").


3. Conf Files
Go to your Repack folder and open realms.conf with the basic Editor. Locate this

<Realm1 Name = "wowmafia.org"
        Address = "127.0.0.1:8129"
        Icon = "PVP"
        Colour = "1"
        Population = "1.0"
        TimeZone = "1">

Change the Blue part to your Desires.
Save and Close.
Then open Logonserver.conf and find

<LogonDatabase Hostname = "localhost"
               Username = "root"
               Password = "ascent"
               Name     = "ascentlogon"
               Port     = "3306"
               Type     = "1">

Change the Blue marked Password to the one you entered in MySQL.
Save and Close.
Open Ascent.conf now. Find

<WorldDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "ascent" Name = "ascent" Port = "3306" Type = "1">
<CharacterDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "ascent" Name = "ascentlogon" Port = "3306" Type = "1">

Change the Blue marked Password areas to the password you entered in MySQL. Change the red marked "localhost" to "127.0.0.1" .
Save and Close.
Et voilá.

4. Playing
Start Logonserver.exe and w8 until it says Hooking Signals. Open Ascent.exe. Now go to your WoW Directory and open realmlist.wtf with your Editor. Change it to

set realmlist 127.0.0.1
set patchlist 127.0.0.1

allthough the patchlist isn't important.
Now start WoW and logon with your Account data you previously made.

I hope ur private server is working now, if not feel free to ask.
