installing a repack on a non-repack server

[jrnkosik]

Hello, i'm a definate noob, i made my server with the guide that shows you how to do it from scratch. now i want to install a repack. i dl'ed MMOPro_Repack_8.1. how do i install it into my database?

I need step by step instructions just like a server setup guide would have.

thanks in advance for helping out the noobs guys. we all have to start somewhere.

on your database client e.g. navicat make another database and called it i dunno "wow2"

then in the mmopro repack change the configureation files (.CONFIG) to the world database : wow2

if your wanting your compiled source file server on the repack database just change the world database to wow2 in the configs too.

<WorldDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "ascent" Name = "testing_world" Port = "3306">
<CharacterDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "ascent" Name = "testing_char" Port = "3306">

Edit that info in your Arcemu-worlds config in the REPACK folder.

Try that below, if it doesn't work. Just make a new folder and put the repack in there, run the programs from that folder.
