[Guide]How to Make WoW Private Server with Apple's Ascent, Patch 2.3.x

Hello, Finally maked Apple's Ascent 2.0 has come!
::Basic::
Apple's Ascent v2 have come! Join to server or just make own! YOU NEED TO HAVE INSTALLED .NET FRAMEWORK 3.5 (found from tools folder)Server got malls in OG and SW, just a few guys, but you can spawn more ofc :) And soon comes Apple's Dungeon 1.0 :) for all
GUIDE TO GET RESTARTER UP:
Open Autoup.something :D not .exe
Then:
//The File Path Of The First Server
//Do not include a trailing backslash!!
//example: C:\Server\Core1
Server1=G:\Apple's Ascent 2.0
Change that to your server location :)
And then put AutoUP.exe up.
Not my restarter, but my guide.Then let's move on to Apple's Ascent guide :)
::Downloads::
Apple's Ascent 2.0
::MySQL::
You find MySQL Setup from your AA Tools folder --> Typical > Install > Next > Next > Tick that Configure the Mysql Server now and finish > Next > Standard > Next > Put pass what ever you want (I did put root) (Tick Enable root access bla bla bla) > Next and Execute!
::Database Stuff::
First just install Navicat; it is in Tools folder.Then open it should popup Connection window.
Connection name can be what ever you want.And Mysql Password is password you just made.Then click Test Connect.If works, then click Connect.
Make new Database called world and then right click of it and choose Execute Batch file.Look up world.sql.Go to your server folder and Sql Updates, there is world.sql :)
This takes a while.
::Conf files::
Gz you are almost done! Now go to your Apple's Ascent folder and look up ascent-world.conf. Change these:

Code:

---

<WorldDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "Your mysql pass" Name = "world" Port = "3306" Type = "1">
<CharacterDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "Your mysql pass" Name = "world" Port = "3306" Type = "1">

---

Close and save it, Then look up ascent-logon.conf and Change these:

Code:

---

<LogonDatabase Hostname = "localhost"
              Username = "root"
              Password = "Your mysql pass"
              Name    = "world"
              Port    = "3306"
              Type    = "1">

---

Close and save it, Then look up ascent-realms.conf and Change these:

Code:

---

<Realm1 Name = "What you want for Realm Name"
        Address = "Change this to 127.0.0.1:8129"
        Icon = "PVP"
        Colour = "0"
        Population = "0"
        TimeZone = "0">

---

Close and save it.
::Testing::

Then go to your World of Warcraft folder and look up Realmlist.conf and edit it to:
set realmlist 127.0.0.1

::Public for all::

Hostname: Name don't matter, but you need to remember it.

IP Address: Click Use auto detected IP address
Mail Routing: Don't do anything
Then Create Host!!
::Hosts::

127.0.0.1 Host you created
Internal IP Host you created
External IP Host you created
::How to get internal IP?Just click Start > Run > CMD > Ipconfig and then look up your IP::

Open Navicat and find World Database, look up Accounts table and make account:
acct: Don't write anything
login: Username
password: Password
GM: (AZ is admin, A is GM, Empty is player)
banned: Don't write anything
Then go all way to flags
Flags: (8 is Burning Crusade and 0 is non BC)
If you got server open, Open ascent-logon.exe and write there reload, if not just start server :)
Then tell them to set their realmlist to your hostname!! :)
