[ONE] Login problems

[Itereus]

Hello. I just set up everything for the server. The only problem is, when I try to log on in WoW, I keep getting "The information you have entered is not valid". I've tried to create accounts in the console, but I keep getting the error. Any suggestions?

Sounds like the server address isn't set correctly in the realmlist.wtf file within your World of Warcraft folder.

Please note that sometimes the value in the realmlist.wtf file gets ignored, if a server address is set in WTF/Config.wtf as well. In this case you should remove the entry from the config file and set it properly in realmlist.wtf.

Thanks for the reply, I checked in the WTF/Config.wtf, but there was no server adress there. I discovered the problem though, it seems that the WoW I downloaded seems hard-coded to another private server, regardless of what I change the realmlist.wtf to. I'm downloading a new copy now. Although I don't quite understand how the realmlist is invalid, as I thought that was the only source WoW use to gather the logon information.

Just add another realmslist.wtf file under /wow/data/enUS (or enGB, or whatever your language is)

set realmlist 192.168.0.100 <-- obviously, change this to whatever you set your realmlist ip to on the Mangos server

set patchlist localhost

To log into Mysql and the realmd database specifically, use:

mysql -u root -h localhost -p realmd

Enter password:

Now, paste this one command but replace 192.168.0.100 with your Mangos server's LAN address. Not 0.0.0.0 or 127.0.0.1! This is the address where people connect from the outside world.

UPDATE `realmd`.`realmlist` SET `address`='192.168.0.100' WHERE `id`='1';

Not quite sure whether this is possible, because this location for the realmlist.wtf file is used from WotLK onwards, but not before. In Classic and TBC the location was in the root folder of World of Warcraft next to the wow.exe.
