Really stuck with what I think is the last step...

[dcj1978]

So...i've got SQL done...SQLYog done...and my account setup in there.. I can run logonserver.exe no problem. I run the ascent.exe and it seems to load ok.. I start up the game, type in my username and password and get.. "Unable to connect".

I checked my accounts as listed in SQLyog and those looks fine. Can't figure out what i'm doing wrong here. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks

You should set the SQL settings in logonserver.conf and ascent.conf if you use ascent.

2-Dont forget to open your ports needed
3-Try it as localhost 1st :P

I know it's been posted 1000s of times.. and i'm sorry for posting it again. Is there a search function that i'm not seeing? If so, please point me to it.

As for my issue.. I started over, and got this when setting up MySQL.



Then, it shows me this..


It's telling me I need to open 3306 on my router. So, I opened it. I removed that instance of MySQL and tried again, got the same error. Ok... So, I bypassed my router..tried again.

Same error. Windows firewall is not enabled.

I'd like to go through my router obviously, so i'm plugging that back in. I know the port is open, looking at it now. But I still get that error message every time I try to do this.

I would wipe your mysql, reinstall, and put in a password for root. You don't need 3306 open on your router, only 3724, 8129, and 8093.

if its only for LAN use you dont need to open any ports...just uninstall Mysql go to Drive:\Program Files in there delete mysql folder and reinstall then set it back up(should fix your mysql error) then do the whole sqlyog thing again and put all the db files in, then in your ascent folder configure all the .conf files in your WoW dir set the realmlist.wtf to either

set realmlist localhost

or

set realmlist 127.0.0.1

if either of them dont work you can just go to Start>run type in CMD push enter then type ipconfig which will give you your internal IP address but that is about it and you shouldnt have a problem unless you dont configure the .conf files in your ascent folder correctly

First off, I appreciate all the help you are giving. Without it, I would've thrown in the towel a bit ago I think. haha

Ok...some progress.

Now, MySQL loads fine. logonserver.exe and ascent.exe load fine... I've used the same username/password for EVERYTHING. When I try to login, it just says.

Connecting....
Unable to Connect.


I checked SQLYog and the username / password is good. But still... "Unable to Connect". Any more ideas?

Are you changing the realmlist.wtf in your WoW directory?? just double checking :P
