Setting up a Mangosserver on Win 7

[fragger90]

Hey guys,

first of all I want to thank all who keep this project alive!

I m trying to set up a Mangos server under Win7 x64.

I was using this tutorial https://github.com/mangoswiki/Wiki/wiki/Installing%20MaNGOS%20on%20Windows.

I just tried it on win7 not on the windows server, and it failed . I think that was obvious

Well my background is defnitley not in IT but i am willing to learn if its necessary.

Does anyone have me some advice?

Thanks a lot!

greetings

Robin

To be able to get help you should give some information on what went wrong and when and in what way Eg, on which step did you get stuck and in what way? Paste relevant logs etc aswell as that can help pinpointing the problem.

So is this the right tutorial for win7 x64?

And can i skip installing the Server OS?

I got a bit confused after I downloaded the source codes.

The source Code for MaNGOS is now located in the mangos folder.

I didnt create a folder like that.

I always used this tutorial for Windows 7. And yes, I skipped the part about installing the VM and the operating system and went straight to the bit on installing MySQL and carried on from there.

Here a list of my Questions ^^

1.

Typ 5).

for MaNGOS Two (WoTLK)

git clone git://github.com/mangostwo/server.git mangos

cd mangos/src/bindings

git clone git://github.com/mangostwo/scripts.git scripts

there is no such folder "bindings"

i had to create it myself ist this right?

2.

7) edit CMakeLists.txt in this folder

change

# add_subdirectory(scripts)

to

add_subdirectory(scripts)

there is no entry like that just

add_subdirectory(src)

# if(SQL)

# add_subdirectory(sql)

# endif()

3.

Downloading and Importing the Database Data

Is there a special place for MangosDB?

Or is it just for MySQL?

4.

3) Now load scripts database entries

cd ..\..

cd server\src\bindings\scripts\sql

There is no folder like that.

Now i have just MangosSource and there is a mangos\bindings\scripts\sql

whats that point?

5.

12) Once it is complete, select the DBC, Maps and VMaps folders and move them to “C:\Mangos\data”

There is no such folder i created it myself

6.

7) Once complete, the following message will be shown:-

“========== Rebuild All: 11 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========”

========== Rebuild All: 10 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========

I got 10 not 11.

7.

12) Open SQLyog and connect to the databases

13) Click on the + beside realmd

14) Right Click on realmlist and select ‘Open Table’

There are no Tables jet.

Navigating to C:\MangosSource\mangos\sql\

and executing the sql file realmd.

Now i have 7 Tables.

8.)

Trying to start Realmd.exe closes immediately.

Starting it with CMD -> Could not find configuration file realmd.conf .

But its there...

At this point i couldnt go further.

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot for reading!

ALLRIGHT GUYS!

I finally got it!

Here my answers too my questions.

Sorry for my english ^^

1). Yes, its right. I had to create it myself.

2). Didn´t find it. So i ignored that step.

3). It´s just for MYSQL. So the folder seems not important.

4). At this point it seems like the author messed up the folder ^^

server = mangos. "\MangosSource\mangos"

5). Just created that folder.

6). I still got just 10. But it seems it changed.

7). Seems like he skipped that step.

You need to navigate too C:\MangosSource\mangos\sql\

and execute the sql file realmd. The same with Characters!

8)This part is tricky ^^ It took me a day to realize, that the file didnt change into a config file after changeing the name.

I had to change the settings (How to Show File Extension in Windows 7 - Ask About Tech) and then i saw, that

there was still "realmd.conf.in" after changeing that, it was finally a config data and my server started.

The update thing seems not necessary.

[fragger90]

Anyone? please ?

I tried using this one: https://www.getmangos.eu/mangos/download-9-mangos-server-revision-12578-x64.html

after starting realmd.exe it says MSVCR120.dll missing.

I downloaded it manually and now the error (0xc000007b) appeared.

I have no idea what i m doing wrong!

Glad to hear that you got it going!

Regarding the bindings folder it might have moved into the core repo so that you don't have to make a second clone. Although i'm not developing on that one so i'm not sure.

And for msvcr*.dll you'll need the download from this link iirc: Document Moved, but getting the specific dll seems to have done it aswell i guess?

I have no idea since i was not using that files. I just did it with the files of the tutorial, and it seems the realmd.exe and mangos.exe are diffrent to the ones here ^^
