Alright, I had been forgetting to import the stuff in the "zp_*" directories. Did that after dropping and recreating the databases, started relmd, started mangosd, added my account, set it as GM, no realm listed. Went into the realmd database and set the realm name to my liking and set the IP address to the LAN address of the server (172.16.0.201 in my case). Tried again. No realm showing up. I am out of ideas now. Where should I look next? This is frustrating! got the config files setup properly and the IP set correctly in the database, but no go. No errors in the logs either.

Well I just dropped my databases and recreated them. I then created the scriptdevzero database and ran those scripts. I have not applied updates for either database. I then fired up realmd and mangosd. I created an account for myself and gave myself GM access. Then I tried logging in, but no realms again. Are the updates my last step? If so, I assume that I only need the scriptdevzero updates because the mangos database appears to be at 1809 already, which the last update is. Is this correct? Also, will the linked bash script run the scriptdev updates also? I also just saw a bunch of errors in the log about non-existent creatures. That is why I believe that I need to somehow populate the database.

I tried that but here is the problem. I am running MaNGOS-Zero, and after using UDB, I have version 11785 (may be off a bit, I am at work right now) and it needs something like z1806. I need to find a way to get a zero server off the ground for LAN only. I do not intend on putting this thing on the net.

The ad program creates the dbc and maps data, not vmaps. The vmaps are created with two other programs. I have no trouble with my dbc or maps data. I normally run ad followed by the vmaps programs and then move them all to my Linux server via scp. I do have an idea as to what is wrong though. I believe that it is a database problem though, and am looking into it.

Nobody? I'd like to figure this one out. Why am I not generating 000.vmtree?

I read through that, but the links to UDB are broken. I may have found a mirror of 0.9.0 for UDB, but my concern is whether or not it works with MaNGOS-Zero. I see it contains information about Outlands, which I do not care to use, but if it works with 1.12.1, I don't have a problem using it. I guess my next question then is, will UDB and/or ACID work with the current MaNGOS-Zero builds?

I have disabled vmaps for now so I could test the server, but now I have a new problem that I may know the answer to. I can login, but I do not see my realm listed. Everything is configured correctly (IP addresses, credentials, etc), but it won't show up. Do I need to locate a database with content before the realm will show up? I assumed that all of the database work I did would have had the basic stuff ready, but I have been known to be wrong before! Also, in the "scriptdev0/sql/Updates" directory I have 712 sql files. Do I need to run all of these updates, one at a time? I mean that is a full day of work! Finally, if I need to download a database, which one offers the most authentic set of NPCs and quests? I have heard of Ace and a few others, but haven't looked into the matter much. I assumed they were alternates for the stock setup.

Alright, I have built and configured my private server (mangos-zero) without much trouble. However, now I hit something that has me stuck. I extracted the dbc and maps folders without a hitch, but the vmaps are holding me up. I have extracted and built everything, but every time the server starts I get an error about "000.vmtree". The thing is, this file never gets created. I have done the whole process four times now and I get the exact same number of files every time, and never any "000.vmtree" file. The server is looking for the maps in the right spot, but I cannot figure out why it is looking for this non-existent file or why the file is not being generated. Could somebody point me in the right direction? I would really like to have LOS working.

I figured it out. I had to plop the scriptdev0 stuff into the bindings directory, add a line to the CMakeFile, then build the project. Now I have a new problem, my last one, but I will start a new topic on the subject since it is unrelated to this topic. I may also write a guide for building zero the manual way for others who may not want to or be able to use git.

Alright, I grabbed mangos, the DB zip, and the scriptdev zip a day or two ago while at my office. I came home, plopped them on a new, dedicated Linux server (Debian 6.0) and have been stuck ever since. I extracted the server to "/home/name/wow-server". I also extracted the scriptdev and DB files to their default directories. That is it, all of the guides are GIT-based, but using that method would take months on my crappy connection, which is why I must use the zips to build with. Now, where do I place the scriptdev files and how do I go from there? I assume that I will need to somehow run the scriptdev stuff, run a configuration script, then use make or cmake to build my binaries. What are those steps? The rest is cake since I deal with databases weekly and understand Linux quite well. *EDIT* I am using mangos-zero, if it matters. I got the DB, scriptdev, and server from the zero area. I am also assuming that I may need a database for quests, NPCs, and such. Could I get a good recommendation for the database(s) that I will need to configure a 1.12.1 server on my private LAN with? Thanks for the help in advance.
