Howto create your own WotLK Beta Server!
Credits goes to : Illidan_000 , Achilles101 (a friend of mine)
First of all make sure you have the following :
- WoTLK Beta Client (enGB / enUS doesn't matter)
- WoTLK Repack by Mogrein
http://rapidshare.com/files/13753036...epack.rar.html
-Navicat
http://rapidshare.com/files/138985059/navSql.rar
RAR password :
-MySQL
http://rapidshare.com/files/13873146...0.67-win32.zip
-Client Built 3.0.1.8788 (enGB)
http://wowsource.4players.de/downloadspatches.php
-Client Built 3.0.1.8788 (enUS)

Ok let's start
1. First install the beta client of WoTLK
2. Now when you've done that, unpack the WoTLK Repack with WinRAR, or any other program you like to use for unpacking.
3. Go to the repack's folder and you will see another folder called Maps & DBC Extractor open the folder and inside you will see the file 'ad.exe' copy that file and paste it in the folder where you installed the beta client.
For example mine is (C:\program files\wrath of the lich king beta\)
4.Now you will have to patch to client built 3.0.1.8788 which you can find the download links on the top.
DON'T UPDATE ANYMORE AFTER UPDATING TO 3.0.1.8788!
5. Now after you've done the updates run ad.exe (the one in the beta client folder) you will see a black screen, when he's done the black screen will dissapear and you will see that there are 2 new folders called Maps and DBC.
6. Cut the folders Maps and DBC and paste them inside the repack folder.
7. When you've done that unrar MySQL and run the setup
once its installed you can open Navicat.
8.Go File-> New Connection, the connection name doesn't really matter, I called it WoTLK Beta Server
Hostname/Ip : localhost
Port:3306
username: root
pass: (you can choose the password, I used 'ascent')
make sure you don't forget the password though, you will need it later on
When you're done click OK
9.Now on the left of the screen you will see your connections double click on the connection you just made. and now right mouse click and select New Database. you will need to make 4 new databases name them Characters, Mangos, Realmd, scriptdev2.
10. When your done with that Right click on Characters and select Execute Batch File.
a new window will open you don't need to change anything there just click the '...' button and search for the sql file called characters. you can find it in the repack folder inside the folder Database. When you've done that keep doing that for the other databases, so execute mangos with mangos, realmd with realmd ...
11. We are almost done , in a few minutes you will be able to play WoTLK Very Happy
Ok now go the the repack folder and open mangosd.conf with notepad.
Search for the following lines and change ascent into your own password which u used for the connection in Navicat
Code:
LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;ascent;realmd"
WorldDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;ascent;mangos"
CharacterDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;ascent;characters"
12. do the same thing with Realmd.conf
Code:
LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;ascent;realmd"
13. When he's done updating open up realmlist.wtf with notepad and paste the following.
Code:
set realmlist 127.0.0.1
//set realmlist 12.129.236.111
//set patchlist eu.version.worldofwarcraft.com
14. Ok we're ready to run the server, go to the repack folder and run realmd.exe
after that run mangos.exe and wait until everything is loaded.
if everything worked fine you should see the following

Now type in
Code:
setbc administrator 3
Now the administrator account will enable the Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King.
Now you're ready to log in open up wow.exe and connect with the administrator account
Code:
Username : Administrator
Password : Administrator
Well that's it hope it helped, have fun exploring Northrend! :)

I suggest you to download from the Rapidshare mirrors because much faster but you'd better have a Rapidshare Premium account , or just download from the client downloaders ;)
