If you want to host on a lan make sure you change the realmlist table address (found in the realmd db) to point to your servers lan ip instead of 127.0.0.1 and add this

<server-lan-ip> localhost

to your \windows\system32\drivers\etc\host file using notepad...for example...

192.168.1.42 localhost

You continue to use localhost everyone else on your lan would change the realmlist.wtf to

set realmlist <server-lan-ip>

e.g. set realmlist 192.168.1.42

If you want to host on the internet get a <no-ip> address from https://www.dyndns.com or http://no-ip.com. This is more secure than giving out your external ip. This goes in your realmlist table address(found in the realmd db) Make sure you ADD to your \windows\system32\drivers\etc\host file the following

<external-ip> <no-ip>

e.g.

192.168.1.42 localhost
82.61.204.112 my.game-server.cc

IF YOU HAVE A ROUTER MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PORTS: 8085, 3724 AND 80 OPEN AND FORWARDED TO THE SERVER IP OTHERWISE YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEMS CONNECTING.

I strongly advise against changing 127.0.0.1 entries in the files to your no-ip address as this just adds lag to your server
by forcing the system to translate from the host file for every request and is totally unecessary!

WARNING...do not attempt the following untill your SURE you know what your doing !!!

For better security you should use SQLyog, which is accessible by cliking the link in AmberGUI, to change the password used to access the database:

Press Ctrl+Alt+u to launch the edit user panel and change password here then update the password in the following files:

\amber.ini
\mangosd.conf
\realmd.conf
\diskw\home\admin\www\config.inc.php
\diskw\www\config\config-protected.php
\diskw\www\minimanager\scripts\config.php

IMPORTANT
Change the password stored in the realmlist table otherwise the website will not be able to access the DB, so open realmlist table and edit the dbinfo (last column) text to match your password.DO NOT CHANGE 127.0.0.1 here IT WILL stop the website working!!!

root;<password>;3306;127.0.0.1;mangos;characters

Stop and start the server to check that you still have access to the DB

THANK YOU!!!!
So after i add my external to my host file and add it to my realmd database do i acess it my typing in my no-ip into the browser?

THANK YOU!!!!

Type in browser

(example)
my.game-server.cc or your ip to show your site

(example)
192.168.1.42 localhost
82.61.204.112 my.game-server.cc

i found this also works but not sure
if you can enter your site from a different
network, you have to get someone
to try to connect to u from a different
network

(example)
192.168.1.42 localhost
192.168.1.42 my.game-server.cc

I am going to see if this will fix my lan issues. Does anyone know what I can do besides turning off aggro all together to stop the town and creep npc's from attacking?

sounds like to me that your scripts are messed up, try reinstalling

make sure you backup my your C:\MaNGOS\Data folder so u dont have to do your maps again when in installing if u have C:\MaNGOS\Data folder backedup uncheck the box Ectract dbc, map & vmap files

[SimpleMajority]

I will do that. The lan issue is fixed, but now im recieving a client crash in Shadowmoon Valley. I am going to disable all addons and work from there to see what is killing it.

I will also re-install Amber as well and see if that corrects the npc aggro issue.

I got that prob too but only when i'm using command .learn all_myclass.

yes i have the same problem, you have to learn your spells and what not like you play the real game lol. that's the only fix i found so far

[pmiller863]

Dude, if you believe that there are any virusus in it, im fine with that, but come with som evidence that it really is a virus next time :)
I am just trying to help cos Filebeam sucks here so i uploaded it at RS.

I know you are trying to help.
I did not say it does have a virus, just that the files might have been changed or could have a virus.
Maybe better to ask shivajiva101 to upload them to other sites.

after you reinstall make sure you put your Data folder file's, that u backup up in C:\MaNGOS\Data .

oh and one more thing i found that when you use the full install make sure to restart your computer each time before installing the update packs that was on reason my was messing up when i first installed

[kevin94]

Does anybody know why each time i stop my realms it crashes

or maybe it just the Amber GUI 0.2.3 EXE

[jorank]

Same here.

[Powerzz]

When i start Realmd it gives me an error like:
MaNGOS realmd can not bind too 0.0.0.0:3724, it's for local atm only so has nothing to do with port forwarding.. so waddafuxup?
