I wanted to say thank you for the video! I have tried nearly a dozen different methods for setting up servers, this is the only one that worked with literally no problems whatsoever, hats off mate. I've seen other people in the comments mention it, but a video on how to implement modules would be fantastic (but even if you don't get around to it, thanks for making this video, I truly appreciate it)

No problem! I should circle back and do a modules video soon. Anyhow, enjoy! :)

[@avenger3163]

I'm a tech savvy person who was following the instructions on the site, having no issues, but I decided to see if there was a video that could expedite the process. This video makes everything easier. The speed of explanation is perfect, because even though fast, each section is short enough that even replaying it 3 times does not take much time at all. Having everything double checked by someone else and knowing that they've done the hard work of troubleshooting takes off a lot of stress from uncertainty. No more, "Did I do this part right? I hope otherwise it'll be a pain in the neck later." Thanks for doing all the leg work, I appreciate the work you've put in to making this video concise and easy to digest.

Awesome guide, worked really well. Only thing that was different for me was that the "scribbling" at 16:56 didn't end at all after an hour and I had to restart VS.

I am getting ready to try this install tomorrow. I have followed the instructions and downloaded all the prereq stuff from below.

I am very mush a noob to SQL. thank you for the great guide

[@Digital-Scriptorium]

No problem! As long as the database names are not the same and the other server isn't active I think you should be ok. You might still run into issues with ports in use. My general rule of thumb is to have one computer just being a server for one project just to decrease issues. Always worth a shot though!

Thank you for the tutorial, my VERY basic computer skills were able to follow along perfectly well.

It could be the version of boost. Try going back one or two versions of boost.

[@mrtiff99]

Got it all working thanks to your video. I couldn't help myself and totally trashed the database messing around with things. Is there a way to the delete or restore azerothcore SQL database. I tried deleting my build folder and recompiling the code but when I relaunched my new server it still had the old SQL database

[@Digital-Scriptorium]

What I would do is fire up HeidiSQL or whichever SQL management client you're using and log into SQL. Right click on the databases that were created and select "Drop". That will outright delete the databases. Then fire up the two services and let it create the database/s again. If you know which database you think is bad then just delete that one and let it rebuild it. Then you should be in good shape. Think of the server as broken up into two pieces. You have the compiled files side with the executables and config files and then you have the SQL database side. So in this case your executables side is most likely fine unless you were doing some serious edits to those configs. Does that make sense in my ramblings?

Morning. In the created sql build once we’re up and running there is a section labeled “addons”. And in a toon I created the add on button poped up it shows “gatherer” as an option but shows out of date. I know the client I downloaded has a folder full of blizzard addons. I’m afraid I don’t understand the the process, is the addon table for thangs to be added later in updates to our build? Or do I have to run a command to activate things? Thank you

So you're talking about game client add ons? If it says it's out of date then it's the client believing that.

[@Digital-Scriptorium]

When you say to connect your bnet console. Are you saying the bnet console is not staying open when you launch it?

[@SamerTheGamer-TheSamer]

@@Digital-Scriptorium Sorry, I explained myself wrong, the consoles open correctly, no errors appear, I have everything, MySQL, I did the tutorial and everything went well, I can't connect the realmlist with the WOW client, I feel that the realmlist port option is missing in the bnetserver.config I have open ports 8085 and 3724

[@Digital-Scriptorium]

How's your realmlist SQL table look? The two big spots are the realmlist table and the .wtf config file. Sometimes you run into the server needing a reboot also to reopen the ports.

At 24:40 when I refresh HeidiSQL it does not populate with the additional DB info. Any idea why? Both the auth and world servers operate error free and shutdown with ease. Just stumped on the missing DBs

If the realm flag doesn't fix it and your IP for your server looks good in the realmlist table then I'm not sure what else it could be. The AzerothCore Discord might be the next best place to look.

It would require client side modifications if it's possible.

@@Digital-Scriptorium i figured it out. First, you have to go to the npc you want to look like, then you type the command '.npc info', then you scroll up to where it says the native id or something like that, then you target yourself and type the command '.morph target (number from the npc)' then youll look like it

Hey, Digital Scriptorium! I created a server on my VPS server (for testing), everything went well (the steps), the server works fine, I did everything as you showed in this video but I can't connect to the server. When I launch the game, I'm trying to login to my account and I stucked on the login page, it's says: "Connecting" and some seconds later: "Unable to connect. Please try again later.". And yes, I changed the server's IP address at the realmlist database. Any idea to fix this problem?
