perfect, glad you got it sorted out

what is in your config? here is mine for example mangosd.conf LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;user;password;realmd" WorldDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;user;password;mangos0" CharacterDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;user;password;character0" is the user localhost created in your database when you set it up?

i could be mistaken but i dont think [ ] is needed when defining the port being used i know that is not the case in the mangos config files

what is preventing you from using straight mysql? i find its the most reliable. what specific errors are you getting

I'll say hello even though the forum seems quite slow. This repo i used off here for my linux server was the only one what actually worked well for me and made the install process waaaaay more straight forward than the other repos. I did make a post about an issue i was having and a workaround for it in the peer to peer section of the forum. hope this community stays alive.

so, i never encountered this much issue with realm loops in the past when running private servers before but here is an odd one. plus a work around. Install done on Linux Mint 20.3 so i had installed a clean server for vanilla and was able to locally log in, I had configed my db to allow external IP connections to my server for my buddy all and fine he can connect now. In doing this i blocked myself from connecting locally (as the server is on the computer i am playing on and using WINE to run WoW). i set all my configs back to normal but hey i still was unable to connect locally, odd... after hours of different fixes and combos of IP address' and walkthroughs no dice. I started just fiddling around with the Config.wtf in the WTF folder in the WoW client, i edited the SET RealmName "" and removed the server it had listed there. I proceed to boot up WoW and log in as usual and to my suprise i was able to log in to the server just fine. now once i disconnect and try to reconnect again i am unable to until i close WoW and delete that entry in my config again, which then i am able to connect again. This has to be the oddest work around i have found worked by just messing around with the config. hope this helps anyone else here as this work around can help you connect and play locally with external connections until you move the server to a VM or a dedicated system. and yes i had set my external IP and address in the DB as local IP yet it would not allow me to connect until i removed the server name from my config file. the odd things we stumble on...
