Well Phenom, everything works fine until I get to this step... I went to the site listed in the link you posted (Unified DB in sourceforge dot net) and downloaded the following: UDB_0.11.5_Core_7681_SD2_1012.sql 382_corepatch_characters_8030_to_8280.sql 382_corepatch_mangos_8030_to_8280.sql 382_updatepack_mangos.sql I then followed these instructions exactly as you listed them: The problems I ran into were that with the characters corepatch file, I got some kind of unknown column error-- please excuse me for not posting it completely, since Mangos does not support WoW 3.2 yet, I am trying to build and configure it on another hard drive where I have WoW patched only up to 3.1.3, following instructions on how to do that which were listed on this site. If you need me to boot up with that drive as my primary master drive so I can run the programs and get the logs, let me know and I'll do it. Also, how do I find out the revision number of my Mangos core? I tried doing a search of this forum on how to do that and didn't find exactly what I needed. The next problem is that the core file is absolutely HUMONGOUS... about 67.5 MB. That file is just far too huge to load into Notepad or even OpenOffice (a generic, free program that works like Microsoft Office)-- any time I try, the program completely locks up and stops responding and I have to shut it down. This is assuming that I am supposed to put it into SQLyog and run it to update my database... and your instructions don't say exactly WHICH database to put that file in if I have to do it... mangos, realmd, or characters. I DO know to try and update the characters database with the corepatch_characters file and the mangos database with the corepatch_mangos file and then the updatepack_mangos file... or am I wrong on that? I apologize for having no knowledge or experience in database/IT stuff, but that's the breaks. As good as I am with computers, anything programming-related is the one aspect of computers I am pretty much learning-challenged on. Finally... if those files are written by another party completely unassociated with the Mangos development team, and neither team promises any compatibility with, or support for, the other's product... is it any wonder so many people post with questions and "why doesn't this or that work?" It's like trying to use Peter's video game console with Paul's cartridges, and when you run into a problem, Peter says, 'that's not my problem, you have to speak to Paul,' but then Paul insists you go right back to Peter for the answer. That being said I will go to the UDB forum and ask some questions there. Do I need to search for the forums on Dogpile, or does anyone know the URL? (there is NO link to their forums on their sourceforge.net page, I checked and clicked on the forums button but it doesn't take me to any message board.) EDIT: Okay, wait a second... I think I might have just figured something out. >>UDB_0.11.5_Core_7681_SD2_1012.sql<< Does this mean I have to apply every single update in the sourceforge pages one by one until that "7681" in the file name is "8280?" That would be one heck of a royal PITA but if that's what I have to do, then I can do it. Still... what exactly do I do with that core file? Where do I put it? I still can't load it into SQLyog because it's just far too huge to place into any text-editing program.

I know I can't prove this from where I am and you would be inclined to disagree anyway since I am still getting error messages, but I am very certain I followed the instructions to the letter. That being said I will go over them again. If I can't find a step that doesn't look familiar I will restart from the beginning. I'm not in a rush to get this all done, heh.

I ran mangosd from the command prompt, and I thank you for that tip. I see the following error messages: query ERROR: Table 'mangos.db_version' doesn't exist (the remaining error messages are the same except for the table names declared non-existent: mangos.creatures mangos.gameobject mangos.mangos_string I ran a forum search for "mangos.db_version doesn't exist' and found nothing. If you need me to post the entire output for mangosd.exe, let me know. EDIT: I fixed scriptdev2.conf by putting in the proper password for my MySQL database. Got the same result.

Everything works fine for me except one thing: When I double-click mangos.exe to run it, it starts up, for the briefest second I see the program run, and then it simply up and closes itself down. It doesn't stay up long enough for me to see exactly what is appearing in the window; I don't think there are any error messages though I believe the last line or two in the window before it shuts down are colored red. Mangos.exe simply closes itself down almost immediately after starting up. Realmsd.exe runs and stays running, I see the following: Using configuration file realmd.conf.
