Starting up my server

[proracin101]

Okay, this was my first time trying to set up my own server, and everything was going fine till now.

I started up logonserver.exe and world.exe via an emulations starter. logonserver.exe booted up no problem, but world.exe is stuck. Over and over again it's "Authenticating..." then "Authentication timed out" any ideas?

[Ground Zero]

Are you trying to connect via 127.0.0.1 or Hamach or DynDns?
Make sure all your configs match, Makesure your logonserver isnt trying to connect to 127.0.0.1 and your realms are trying to connect to 99.99.99.99 or w/e

[proracin101]

You're amazing! lol and im new haha.

my logonserver was messed up.

so when i go to change this portion of it (for Hamachi):
<Listen Host = "127.0.0.1"
ISHost = "0.0.0.0"
RealmListPort = "3724"
ServerPort = "8093">

i would put my hamachi ip in for the listen host only right?

This is what they should be Only change the RED
If you get any problems ill help you with them aswell.

#    These directives are the location of the `realms` and `accounts`

#    LogonDatabase.Username  - The username used for the mysql connection
#    LogonDatabase.Password  - The password used for the mysql connection
#    LogonDatabase.Name      - The database name

# Host Directive
#
#    This is the address that the realmlist will listen on.
#    To listen on all addresses, set it to 0.0.0.0
#    Default: 127.0.0.1 (localhost)
#
#    Note: ISHost is the interserver communication listener.

# Server console logging level
#
#    This directive controls how much output the server will
#    display in it's console. Set to 0 for none.
#    0 = Minimum; 1 = Error; 2 = Detail; 3 = Full/Debug
#    Default: 3
#

<LogLevel Screen = "0"
          File = "-1">

# Account Refresh Time
#
#    This controls on which time interval accounts gets 
#    refreshed. (In seconds)
#    Default = 600
#

<Rates AccountRefresh = "60">

# Accepted Build Range Setup
#
#    These two directives set up which clients will be
#    allowed to authenticate with the realm list.
#
#    Set these to the same builds that the server was
#    compiled for.
#
#    As of the last update, version 3.0.3 was build 9183.

<Client MinBuild = "9183"
        MaxBuild = "9183">

# WorldServer Setup
#
#  RemotePassword
#    This directive controls the password used to authenticate with the worldserver.
#    It must be the same between the two configs. If it is not, your server will
#    not register.
#
#    Default: "change_me_logon"
#
#  AllowedIPs
#    This section MUST be completed, otherwise all attempts to link your servers will fail.
#    These "Allowed" fields are a space-seperated list of CIDR-form IP addresses that are allowed
#    to make server connections to your logonserver, and register realms.
#    For example, everything in the 127.0.0.* range would be:
#         127.0.0.0/24, as 24 of the bits must match the 127.0.0.0
#
#    To allow a single IP,
#         1.3.3.7/32, would allow only 1.3.3.7 to connect as 32 of the bits must match.
#
#  AllowedModIPs
#    In the same form as AllowedIPs, these are the IPs that are allowed to modify the database
#    (adding bans, GMs, account permissions, etc)
#

<LogonServer RemotePassword = "change_me_world"
             AllowedIPs = "YOURHAMACHIP/24"
             AllowedModIPs = "YOURHAMACHIP/24">

Thanks a ton!
That solved all those questions!
And of course I have more! haha

Is there a client-side limit to the level cap?
And another issue... When my buddy and I were playing last night, we ran across the issue of him not being able to access TBC/Wotlk, while I could. He has Wotlk and TBC installed, but he told me that the server was telling him his account was not TBC enabled...
Any idea how to fix it?
Thanks soooo much!
Sorry for bugging you so much!
