I've been searching for 2 days for a solution to my problem but can't seem to get it resolved. I find people getting similar crash messages, but usually after the server has started and at least shown them something. On my dedicated server when I start Mangosd or Realmd they crash right away, like so;
Absolutely nothing appears in the console windows, they're totally blank. I already did some preliminary work, to eliminate some known causes of Mangos startup issues, so here's what I've done.
- Clean format of the computer with Windows XP Pro SP2
- Installed .NET Framework 1.1
- Installed Windows Installer 3.1 (required for .NET)
- Installed .NET Framework 3.5 (includes 2.0 and up)
- Installed C++ Runtime 2005
- Installed C++ Runtime 2008
I've tested the same exact mangosd and realmd on my every day computer, which has had things installed & uninstalled without being formatted for over a year now, and they both work fine. So, I can assume that it's not a corrupt MaNGOS giving me the problem. The only possability that I can come up with is that there is something still missing from my server that MaNGOS requires to run. An update, patch, or something stupid that everyone else has but my dedicated server is missing. Possibly something installed when WoW is loaded (since I have no WoW installation on the dedicated server)??? The only additional software installed on the dedicated server is this;
- MySQL 5.0
- Apache 2.2 (with PHP)
- Navicat Lite
I should also add that the configuration files are properly setup, and all required additional files (maps, dbc, etc.) have also been put in place. It's not my first time setting up MaNGOS, however it is the first time that I've been able to dedicate a system to it. Any help the community can possibly give would be GREATLY appreciated.

As a small sidenote, I can run Arcemu on the server without any problems (but would rather use MaNGOS)
