Trying to login to my new server, but its telling me I need to merge with battle.net?

Hint: Go ArcEmu

[watchdog1]

the database has nothing to do with the connection to the server itself are you running MySql, Mangos, and the logonserver? All 2-3 must be running on your computer.

[tbdcarakias]

I think so Watchdog1... As far as I know I am. Like I said, I can connect to the database... How do I make sure the logonserver is running? Sorry guys... I followed a huge guide word for word but it didn't mention some of this.

[Le Froid]

in mangos the logonserver is your realmd exe file. does it have any errors on startup?

[watchdog1]

You can tell they're running by looking at the taskbar

[tbdcarakias]

I feel so foolish! In my defense I'm used to repacks!

I ran realmd.exe and it got me to the server select screen, but it says the mangos server is offline, its grayed out.

[watchdog1]

now you need to run world or realm w/e it's called

[tbdcarakias]

Hmm not sure I follow. The only other .exe file I see with realmd.exe is mangos.exe. I ran that and it opened a command prompt, scrolled through some stuff then closed itself.

[Le Froid]

do you have your maps and dbc folder with your mangos and realmd files?

[watchdog1]

read what it said in the command prompt cause that's what you need to run and it shouldn't be closing

[tbdcarakias]

Yes I do. There are folders called "maps" and "dbc" inside the folder that houses mangos and realmd. Well, I have copies of them there, yes.

Oh, and mangos.exe closes VERY quickly... I think it says "loading data stores" then closes, but it goes so fast I can barely see it.

[Le Froid]

K, to find error hit windows button then type 'cmd'. another black box pops up and in it type "cd C:\<LOCATION TO MANGOS FOLDER>" then type "mangosd.exe". The whole process will show up without closing- post what the error in red text is

[Sounddead]

You have the folders, but is there anything in your DBC folder?

[tbdcarakias]

Initialize data stores...

[Sounddead]

You have the wrong client DBC files. :/ Did you extract them yourself?
