guyz pls help me here.. when i follow the steps

-Install your GIT client if you haven't already

-Once installed, make a folder anywhere and call it whatever you want (this will be your MaNGOS source folder so you might want to call it "MaNGOS" or something)

-Right click your new folder and select "Git GUI Here"

-When the GIT GUI window comes up, click on "Clone Existing Repository"

-Another window should pop up

-In the "Source Location" field, type in:

Code:

git://github.com/mangos/mangos.git

-In the "Target Directory" field, type in the filepath of your folder (e.g. C:\\MaNGOS)

-Click "Clone" and wait for it to finish

-Once it's done, close the GIT GUI

After pressing Clone i get this error

my file path is also correct.

THanks for ur guid ! but i have problem with downloding MySQL server & GIT client can anyone upload them in somewhere

http://www.mysql.com

http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list

google is amazing, isnt it?

Hi i got the server all running but im having problems... there are no items npc's or mobs

I dont know were to start to solve this

some help would be great cheers :lol:

you need database content.

Hi, thank you for the reply : )

Just wondering though I add each of those paths separately in the corresponding drop down menu right? Not just all of them in "executables" correct?

Also where is the "compile" folder?

I'm was to give up on this but I think I will try a couple more times heh

in the bin, include, lib tabs respectively.

Output directory will be wherever you told VC++ to make it.

read the FAQ which is linked in my signature, FAQ 5.b or 5.c. Also google realmlist loop.

read the FAQ which is linked in my signature, FAQ 5.b or 5.c. Also google realmlist loop.

i have the server in DMZ i already read that FAQ also but im gonna lookup for that realmlist loop as u said to see if that helps me solve this issue thanks

I have a single question. The instructions tell me to move the exe files, dll files, and pdb files from the compile folder to the MaNGOS folder, but what is the difference between them? I have a single MaNGOS folder (with the little subfolders that Git made) that contains all the files already, nothing else. I don't know where I'm supposed to be moving them or whatever else it's telling me to do.

u move them to somewhere where you'll be placing your dbc and map files you don't want those things in your bin folder because you have to recompile mangos everytime you update and that bin folder is the result of the compile. I have my mangos launch directory at c:\\mangos\\

my dbc and map files are at c:\\mangos\\dbc and c:\\mangos\\maps

[Proditus]

Alright, another problem

I'm trying to configure MySQL for localhost use, and I'm at the point where you apply the security settings with MySQL Server Instance Configuration Wizard. I turned my firewall off and I used the default password where the instructions said to, but it comes up with an error every time I try it (At the point where it says 'Apply security settings'). What am I doing wrong?

Here's the error I'm having

i would guess that you already have an instance of mysql running/installed, in which case you have a problem.

The error your getting means that your mysql password is not correct, best to stop the running service, uninstall, and reinstall.

[Proditus]

Alright, I'll try that

EDIT: Alright, it worked and I'm almost done.

Now I just need to fix the stupid vanishing black box bug...

EDIT again: It's complaining about vmaps. Those weren't even mentioned in the guide. What am I supposed to do about those?

[FragFrog]

Im Haveing the Same problem but from some reason the board will not let me see any other page but the first one so i can see if there is a solution to the problem

just wanted to let others know that if you search for Microsoft Windows SDK for windows server 2008 and .net framework 3.5 it will fix the problem

you will then need to add the following paths as

C:/program Files/Microsoft SDKs/windows/v6.1/bin to Exe Tab

C:/program Files/Microsoft SDKs/windows/v6.1/Include to Include tab

C:/program Files/Microsoft SDKs/windows/v6.1/lib to libary Tab

Clean and build

Build Successfull with this fix

Excelent solution: after spending several hours trying to bypass the errors I was getting I stumbled upon it, downloaded the SDK mentioned, clean, build and it completed with 11 succeeded and 0 failed! Thank you very much!

[no.human.being]

Thanks for the reply but I still don't understand what you are saying I need to do.

C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\\Bin

C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\\Include

C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\\Lib

Doesn't exist on my computer

The path may be different on your system. On my notebook they're called:

C:\\Programme\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows\\v6.0A\\bin

C:\\Programme\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows\\v6.0A\\Include

C:\\Programme\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows\\v6.0A\\Lib

Just step through your file system on C: and look out for files that sound "something" like that SDK. Seems like the names aren't always exact.

I had some trouble with the updating of the db's. First, downloaded everything (full db's, updates and stuff) and tried to import in this order:

/trunk/FULL DB//UDB 0.11.5 Core

/trunk/updates/380 corepatch characters

/trunk/updates/381 corepatch characters

/trunk/updates/381 updatepack characters

and somewhere around that point i got a some db import errors. My question is, since this part is kinda short explained, can someone tell me with just a few words what do i need for a clean install and do i need to apply any updates, since im applying the udb x.xx.xx Core.sql thing because after importing the full db ant the updates in the exact same order as they should be (only not sure about updatepack-sql's) im getting errors.

I think i did it right in the end but i cant be sure. And i have no idea what i did.

And now for the real problem. mangosd.exe runs smoothly, but realmd halts at the beginning, no error messages.

[Scabies]

Huge Problem. Everytime I try to use git, it tells me folder already exists for the destination folder. >.<

UPDATE: Deleted folder. Made new folder in different area. SAME RESULTS!

[Lyrik]

Man nice work!

But I hang up in a few problems that slowed down my progress... so can you tell me how can I update my server for a newer version if I ready with it? Because I'm still working with 3.0.9 of WOW not with 3.1.3

The worst thing is that I'm still not ready with the server :@

By the way... where the hell I need to extract that UDB thing?

I know I may have stupid questions but I'm not so good in "specify" english so I can't understand the half of these things PLS make a simlified answer THX fo all!

[Metalchic]

i was wondering, what version of Microsoft virtual Basic becasue hte version linked to in the first post of this topic tells me that the file extension (*.vcproj) is not supported by the version i got from that site.

[dezmensykes]

-Click the open button near the right of the dialog window, and make sure the path is:

Code:

C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\\Bin

I cant find were this is located at. Can someone help me

[warrior1988]

I have compiled Mangos.. and was stuck at configuring Mysql...

when it asked for current root password i gave mangos(since i dunno wat the current password is.. since this is the first time i am installing MySQL) and for the new root password also i gave mangos..

and after that when i pressed Execute i get this error....

can someone pls help me with this??

[davemm]

mysql have their own support forums, would probably be the best place to ask.

[warrior1988]

MySQL prob is kinda solved.. but when i tried to configure SQLyog i get the error

"Error No 1045

Access Denied for user 'root@localhost'(using Password: YES)"

wat this could be.. i gave the password as mangos.. and i used the same password while configuring the MySQL also...

[davemm]

"Error No 1045

Access Denied for user 'root@localhost'(using Password: YES)"

password is wrong.

Use the same password in the .conf files that you used when installing mysql.

[warrior1988]

Thanks ROL1983 for your fix - I had to search around for a few hours before finding it in this fantastic forum. It amazes me that this bug's been around since Microsoft released their SDK 3.5 SP1 pack back in April (and I've definitely updated all changes made since then to 8/22/09), and as you may be aware there have been a number of other folks on this forum that reported having the same problem. Anyway, thanks again!!
