{HELP} The server is starting up but unable to connect please help

Did you already do the things in hosts in WINDOWS ?

If you did that.

I thought something with ports
 
I'm new to this site and only worked with MaNGOS a few times (both times while deployed to Iraq) so please keep that in mind... don't know if this is the same as the setup you are using.

It sounds to me like you have an internal loop somewhere... are you able to authenticate? Where does it get stuck at and unable to connect (authenticating, connecting to realm etc.). *IF* it is an internal loop somewhere check the realmlist, realmd.conf and mangosd.conf (don't know what the alternative for mangosd.conf would be in your case.

  • Connect to your MySQL server.
  • Open the realmd branch in the left pane and select "realmlist".
  • At the bottom of SQLyog click on the "Table Data" tab.
  • Change the "name" field to your preferred realm name. It CANNOT be the default "MaNGOS".
  • For now leave the address to "localhost" or "127.0.0.1". (This will be the same address that your clients must set in their realmlist.wtf files to connect.)
  • Select the "Save Changes" button.

  • Configure realmd.conf:
  • Open realmd.conf in notepad. It should be in your root server directory ("C:\MaNGOS).
  • Find "LoginDatabaseInfo =" Change it to "LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;[password];realmd".
  • Save and close file.

  • Configure mangosd.conf:
  • Open mangosd.conf in notepad. It should be in your root server directory ("C:\MaNGOS).
  • Find these lines and set as shown:
  • DataDir = "."
  • WorldDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;[password];mangos"
  • LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;[password];realmd"
  • Save and close file.

I'll keep checking in on this thread and see if I can help out a little. If you like you can e-mail me at [email protected] and I can look a little more into it.
