When your Worldserver tries to connect to your MySQL server using "my-ip adress;3306;root;mangos;mangos" it cannot complete the connection.

Have you set your MySQL server to accept connections (GRANT permissions) from addresses other than the default localhost (127.0.0.1)?

NOTE: Please do not grant access to root from all IP addresses, because you will only end up asking for help in recovering you databases later on. Allowing root access to your MySQL server, is just asking for trouble.


Aside from running the mangosd and realmd daemons on a seperate PC from your MySQL, you really shouldn't need to use anything but the localhost IP in the config files (the daemons connect locally if run on the same PC).

Change the config files back to localhost/127.0.0.1 and then, change the address field in your realmd database, realmlist, to use your WAN IP.
