    my ad.exe is not working i have it placed in c:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data and when i double click
    ad.exe it shows a cmd for a couple milleseconds than gos away. Can someone help me with this? Also in mangos.conf i set my data dir to c:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data but then it says cant find maps or vmaps folder. Also i got to that part with data dir from mangos.exe when my mangosd conf looked like this:
    LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;Lappy;"
    WorldDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;Lappy;"
    CharacterDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;Lappy;"

    (this is where i put the folders vmaps,buildings,maps and dbc from arcane fire ( what i did for vmaps folder and buildings folder is arcanefire>extraction tools>vmaps> i did vmap assembler and then make vmap_simple) and alsoi got maps and dbc from reapermangos 4875 from there ad.exe but i dont know if those maps and dbcs work because when i start up mangos.exe i get aproblem with it says i have a password for my sql but i don't and this is literally what i put for my mangosconf data base information:
    LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;Lappy;[MySQL Password];realmd"
    WorldDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;Lappy;[MySQL Password];mangos"
    CharacterDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;Lappy;[MySQL Password];characters"
    but even when i put it at [MySQL Password] it still says i have a password.
    So basically What i want to know is how to make ad.exe work and, how to make it that i dont have a password in mysql in mangosd.conf because i dont and about mangosd.conf i think there is another problem because mangosd.conf says that

    # LoginDatabaseInfo
    # WorldDatabaseInfo
    # CharacterDatabaseInfo
    # Database connection settings for the world server.
    # Default: hostname;port;username;password;database

    it says that i should put hostname;port;username;password; and then database but i have no password and when i try removing password and typing in my data base it recognizes the database as a password so it wont let me in mangos.exe
    Also im not sure if i have the right maps and dbcs cuz i got em with an old revision of reaperxmangos 4875. If anyone can help me with this it would be greatly appreciated. Also when i go to mysql administrator it says that the conf file for mysql administrator cant be found so even if i wanted to set a password i wouldn't be able to. Also im using mysql tools 5.0

    PLEASE HELP ME I REALLY WANT TO FINISH THIS AND IVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR A WHILE

    as for extracting maps, if i remember right you had to place ad.exe in your wow folder, and not your wow/data folder (so that it looks like mangos/data/dcb. It will produce two folders, dbc and maps. copy/cut those to your mangos/data folder. Dont forget to extract vmaps as well.

    Your database login info in your mangos.conf should be: "127.0.0.1;3306;root;[MySQL root password];databasename" with database names: mangos, realmd, characters and scriptdev2.

    good luck!

    Wampserver is for hosting a website. I got vista and im happily running mysql 5.0, no probs at all. Look for an instance config something.
    Did you get my email btw?

    I dled mysql server 5.0 but when u get to the last step and it says execute to start the re configuration it says this:
    (checkmark) Prepare Configuartion
    (checkmark) Write configuration file (c:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\my.ini
    (X) Restart service
    (blank because this is the last step) Apply security settings

    THE SERVICE COULD NOT BE STARTED.

    Which pisses me off. (btw i did have mysql 5.0 server installed but when i click on mysql exe it doesnt work, so i did this with mysql server instance config)
    any ideas?

    Post 3: Also this is exactly what it says in mysql.exe when i try to run it

    with wampserver running:
    Error 1045 (28000): Access denies for user "ODBC"@"localhost" <using password: NO>

    without wampserver running:
    Error 2003 <HY000>= Can't connect to MySQL Server on "localhost" <10061

    with mysql query browser and wampserver running:
    Error 1045 (28000): Access denies for user "ODBC"@"localhost" <using password: NO>

    ok added lawl but i didnt add this one i guess u have diffrent ones so this is hotmail and hetnet is msn (just my guess lawl).

    ok i ran into a little problem with query browser not starting up but i logged on to localhost and root and it apparently fixed it self.
    HOLY FUCKING SHIT BRO THIS IS SWEET I JUST WENT INTO MYSQL QUERY BROWSER WITH LOCALHOST AND ROOT AND I WENT TO MYSQL ADMINISTRATOR
    AND I MADE A PASSWORD FOR IT AND IT FAWKN WORKED!!! YES!!!!!! OMG THIS CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING! HOLD ON IM GONNA TRY MANGOSD NOW :D ...
    k it loaded everything but one error:

    Error in creature_template table, probably sql file format was updated <there
    should be 65 fields in sql>
    CONCENTRATE ALL YOUR UBER 1337 MIND POWER ON THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THIS IS THE LAST STEP =3
