Have you read the tutorial and double check things you may have overlooked?
Find where it says:
LoginDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;ROOT;PASSWORD;realmd”
WorldDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;ROOT;PASSWORD;mangos”
CharacterDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;ROOT;PASSWORD;characters”
in your mangosd.conf file.
127.0.0.1 - is the IP address of your server. use 127.0.0.1 if you are running MaNGOS on the same computer where you installed your database
3306 - is the port to your database, Make sure it is not blocked by your windows firewall
Root - Is the username you used when you installed your database (change it if necessary)
Password - your password you used when you installed your database(change it if necessary)
realmd, MaNGOS, and characters - are the names of your databases
You really only need to alter your username and password in your mangos config file.
also,
DataDir= '.'
Should be pointed to the directory where you extracted your map/vmap/dbc files. for example
DataDir="C:\WoW\data"
Is pointed to the 'data' folder that contains the folders maps, vmaps, and dbc
And make sure that you extracted your map files with the ad.exe that came with that repack.
Go through the tutorials slooowly so you can catch things you may have missed.

Make sure you are using the correct version of ad.exe to extract your map files.

Windows Vista is like almost the complete opposite i can't find the ad.exe file for it. please post for me. need help alot!!!!

The ad.exe (should) work for every windows-related distro. What could be your problem is having the authorized permissions to run the file. When you run ad.exe, its extracting files form your WoW installation which was currently installed under the Administrator credentials. Therefore if you run ad.exe as a normal user, it is not authorized to access the files and will not complete. What you should do is alter the permissions for the files so a normal user can run it. Or you can run it as administrator (never works for me) or you can temporarily disable the UAC (user access control). See if that does anything.

i can't even find it on windows vista do you know where it would be?

Dude calm down.
find what? UAC?
start> in the 'run' box type:
msconfig
then a dialog box will open up. Navigate to the rightmost tab (I cant remember the name, using linux at the moment) then select "turn off UAC". Windows will probably make you restart.
If you are looking for ad.exe, it should be inside of your files you downloaded. check again.
again, Which revision are you using? ad.exe has the same name in every release but is VERY different depending on the release you are using.
