I have set up a server and I was wondering how to get it online!

I am using 2.0.10 from here.

Basically need to know what to change, IP's ect.
Also which ip to change to. I'm on a router.
 
mm to get the server online

make an account on no-ip or something

open ur host file and paste below 127.0.0.1 localhost

ur new adrees
127.0.0.1 urwebsite

the u copy that to ur mangos and realm.conf
and in the database

should work by now..

dont forget to open the ports..

Could you explain the hosts file bit again please I don't really get it. I have a no-ip it's jealy.no-ip.biz, what should I put under 127.0.0.1 localhost?
 
u go to windows/system32/drivers/etc open the host file whit notepad

is show something like

127.0.0.1 localhost

then u must put ur ip (if u want to share it ) or ur created account on dynsys or no-ip must be

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 jealy.no-ip.biz

u go to ur .conf files and put the jealy.no-ip.biz

jealy.no-ip.biz;3306;root;pass;mangos_bc" etc etc

and in the sqlyog u do the same whit the host
 
OMG IT'S WORKING!!!

Oh man you're the greatest!

Thanks A LOT!

If you want to come onto the server i'll make you a GM account. Just PM me.
 
Okay well I thought it worked but it doesn't, I can connect to my server with set realmlist jealy.no-ip.biz and it's fine but nobody else can, they get 'Unable to Connect'. Any help would be great.

The server is TBC.

Here's a test account;

Login: test1
Password: test1
 
You really don't need to add anything to the hosts file. The only thing necessary for getting your server online is to make sure your no-ip is set up to point to your current IP properly, and to have that no-ip address in your sql database.

The only thing the hosts file is doing is when your connecting to your server by having "jealy.no-ip.biz" in your realmlist, your computer does a check of the hosts file. Since it finds that line as a "Host" it knows not to look it up on the internet. Basically all your doing is the long version of setting 127.0.0.1 as your realmlist. (That may be different if you are behind a router, but my server doesn't need a "Hosts" file line to work)

So check your firewall... check your router, and check the realm SQL database. The server name can't be MaNGOS and it can't be 127.0.0.1
 
Well i've done the hosts thing anyway just to make sure :p.

I dunno about the router though i'm on one and that might be the prob, which ports do I need to open?
