Hmm. Interesting. I have my mangosd.exe mangosd.conf and the maps/dbc/vmaps all in the same folder and i manually double click mangosd.exe to launch the server. It won't work with the . in there. I assumed the . meant the current directory when I set it up. That's why I didn't give it a second thought when troubleshooting originally.

Then i would suggest asking the guides author for help. Better still would be to read the guides here, and then ask any questions AFTER that.

I'm assuming a condicending tone from the way you wrote your reply which makes me wonder why you even bothered posting. I've made a reply to his post and have heard nothing. I've read the guides here and they also say the same thing.

"PART 17 - CONFIGURING MANGOS

• Open C:\\Mangos\\mangosd.conf in Notepad

• Look for the following codes (and change them if necessary)

Datadir=“.” "

How was I suppose to know you weren't suppose to have the . between the "". The log file didn't even come close to mentioning this.. Anyway, I posted here because I assumed you the whole point of the forums is to help people (this being the "help and support" section) . I searched everywhere I could find and this was my last resort. Apparently you can only post here if you already know what you're doing.

I found the problem. In the mangos conf file guide I used had me set datadir = "."

I set it to datadir = "" and it got past the error.

Of course, it only gets to [0 ms] SQL: UPDATE realmlist SET allowedSecurityLevel = '0' WHERE id = '1' and then crashes. So at least I'm past the first hurdle .

Actually here is where it crashes: SQL: UPDATE character_battleground_data SET instance_id = 0.

There are no errors in the server log file.

Ok so I followed the guide that's very similar to the one here on this site. It must have been a copy paste job. Anyway, it said that Mangos supported 3.3.5 so when I got to the point where I ran the server it complained about the maps not being a compatable version. I'm assuming this is because it wants 3.3.3 maps. I ran ad.exe with my 3.3.5 wow client.

My question is, is there a way I can recompile Mangos to support 3.3.5? I did my best to go through the stickies, but I don't see anything that addresses this.

If it tells you that the map-file is incompatible you shouldn't ask for compatible one, cause all you have to do is to use an appropriate ad.exe and an appropriate wow client. If you use the latest branch of official sources you can find ad.exe in /contrib/extractor and the version of client you need is 3.3.5.

I'm not asking for a compatable map. I'm asking for a compatable ad.exe. I followed this guide and compiled my own /contrib/extractor and used the ad.exe as I was insctructed. If I need to use the local branch to fix this, I don't know how to do that if it isn't in the guide.

Edit:

I found the problem. In the mangos conf file it has you set datadir = "."

I set it to datadir = "" and it got past the error.

Of course, it only gets to [0 ms] SQL: UPDATE realmlist SET allowedSecurityLevel = '0' WHERE id = '1' and then crashes. So at least I'm past the first hurdle .

I too am getting the 0004331 error. Could you provide a link to the compatable versions? Also, most of your pics are down.
