Let us know what the problem was when you figure it out so that checklist can be updated
As I just posted, the problem is that I think all from this list are checked and correct /emoticons/default_sad.png .
Perhaps the procedure to check these steps are wrong, but, if not:
- Your router has 8085 and 3724 forwarded : done, I can see they are opened in “Port Triggering”
- The firewalls are enabled to communicate through 8085 and 3724 : done, telnet external ip 3724 / telnet external ip 8085
- Your neighbor can ping the public IP (DNS) that you obtained from, lets say whatismyip.com : done, ping dns
- You verified that public IP matches the DNS that you are hosting: done, ping dns
- Last but, not least. You put the public IP in the DB.realmist, and relaunched authserver: done, I always launched authserver after any change in DB.realmist (or relaunched).
I have no idea if that can help but, that is what you can see after running .authserver & .worldserver in my console:
.Authserver :

Right, which means you will have to figure this out on your own. When you do, let us know what the problem was.
did you try using some port other than 8085? maybe your host has gotten tired of wow server kiddies and has enabled some kind of packet dropping for the port 8085…
I have looked at every possible realm loop scenario. Any fixes done on these will not work. If someone could please tell me what I’m doing wrong go right ahead, here are all of my config files. If there are any other config files I’m missing please let me know. Any input would be greatly appreciative /emoticons/default_biggrin.png Thank you for all your help.
I bet my cat avatar that you have a repack there.
That would be a yes. I’m sorry I’m very very new to this… I’ve even asked the repack dev he pretty much suggested what everyone else has. “Change the address to your external” Did that.
Sorry, we don’t support repacks. If you require help with your TrinityCore system, we help if you have issues that are beyond the usual (which is mostly covered in the howto), but we do not support repacks. Go ask the dev that provided the original repack file for clarification.
Ahh thank you so much for your help. I just saw a few people ask those questions… Would I be better off doing a trinity core and then in the “addon” section on this site add what I want?
Pretty much. Repacks might have “more than TC”, but that is because repack devs usually keep content for themselves. Never the less, TrinityCore is a good base to learn and start on your own.
Awesome are there how to’s on adding patches? I found one I really enjoy being a all race all class type?
Sorry, but it’s a bit late at my time so I’ll cut it short.
A SQL is… a SQL, basically. Nothing to ask there. Google again if necessary. Everything you need, you can find with a bit of time with google. Else, the forums are a great way to look information up. Or the wiki. Read through stuff, learn from it, do it. Nothing left to do here. We put a lot of effort on making things clear for people. You just have to show a fraction of that to siphon from our efforts.
Thank you for all your time and help /emoticons/default_smile.png
Some people don’t seem to understand that if you buy a Ford conversion van and then contact Ford to ask why your TV isn’t working, they will tell you, while we did make the original frame, engine, etc. for your vehicle, we did not put the conversion body or any of the seats, carpeting, or, even electronics in it, and cannot provide you with help on your issue, please contact the company that actually did the conversion for help with those issues… the analogy isn’t perfect, because Ford can generally, still help you with issues you have with the parts they did build, because they have records that show what was changed by the conversion company, and what they put in it, while we don’t have any clue whatsoever what the repacker changed, and, so, we just steer clear of supporting “conversion cores” at all.
Saved that quote for the future. Cheers.
Reinstalled everything again on a Debian server and everything works without opening ports or editing /etc/hosts. Incredible.
So you reinstalled on a different OS and it magically configured itself?
I’m a hardcore Linux fan, but I found even that hard to believe mate.
I don’t see why i would be lying to you. Maybe i didn’t explain myself correctly. On centos (previous host) I couldn’t go out of the stuck on retrieving characters problem. I spent one week trying everything i could. Now I reinstalled everything on another host company but this time with Debian. I am able to connect without problems without touching ports or /etc/hosts. Obviously I configured authserver.conf and worldserver.conf.
I don’t say it’s because of the OS, probably it’s something about the host provider but at least I know the problem i had on first server was not completely my fault.
So I’ve been busy for the whole day setting up my WoW server on an external linux (Ubuntu 12.0.4) server, but when I start up the world server and authserver I got a problem.
The worldserver starts up without any problem (I guess) cause this is the (last part of the) log:

This is the log when I start up the authserver:

Updating Realm List…
Added realm “World of Legends” at 159.253.4.90:8085.
The problem is, when I try to log onto the server with a WoW client, it keeps stuck at ‘Authenticating’.
Could anyone help me solve this issue?
What do you have in your realm database in the realmlist table?
