[GUIDE] Ubuntu/Debian/CentOS/RHEL Install Guide

Before we start

This is written with the following assumptions:1) You are build a revision within 50 of 8797.2) Your using Ubuntu Server 8.04/8.10/9.10 - Debian 5 - CentOS 5/ RHEL3) You have the required map and data files.4) You have at least minimal knowledge of the Linux command line.5) You have direct or ssh access to the machine.6) You have some good music to listen to.7) You have 2 hours to waste.

Step 1a - Install the software - Ubuntu/Debian

This will install the packages required by MaNGOS onDebian/Ubuntu based system.

Your going to get a MySQL root password prompt if you havn't setupMySQL before, pick a secure password, make sure you rememberthis.

Code :

Step 1b - Install the software - CentOS/RHEL

This will install the packages required by MaNGOS on RHEL/CentOSbased system.

Install RPMForge

Code :

Select the proper architecture code below. If you are unsure,"uname -m" in the command line will tell you.

32bit - i386/i686

Code :

64bit - x86_64

Code :

Install dependencies

Code :

Step 2 - Get the source

We get the current mangos version and SD2 version.

Code :

Step 3 - Patch MaNGOS w/ SD2

Where going to apply the SD2 patch

Code :

Step 4 - Compile MaNGOS

Now where going to compile, this takes anywhere from 30 minutesup to a few hours.

This is going to get everything ready, you can copy/paste this, I justplaced all the commands on a single like, so there is a minimalchance to mess something up.

Code :

This will configure MaNGOS. You can change "/opt/mangos" tothe directory where you want to install MaNGOS.

Code :

The last step is to start the compiler, this part takes the longest.

Code :

All-In-One

This is an All-In-One for steps 1-4, if this fails then actually do steps1-4 so you can find the error

Code :

http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/o/openssl/openssl_0.9.8k-5_i386.deb;dpkg --installlibssl0.9.8_0.9.8k-5_i386.deb;dpkg --installopenssl_0.9.8k-5_i386.deb;git clone git://github.com/mangos/mangos.git;cd mangos;svn cohttps://scriptdev2.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/scriptdev2/ src/bindings/ScriptDev2/;git amsrc/bindings/ScriptDev2/patches/MaNGOS-*;autoreconf--install --force;mkdir objdir;cd objdir;../configure--prefix=/opt/mangos --sysconfdir=/opt/mangos/etc--enable-cli --enable-ra --datadir=/opt/mangos;make;makeinstall;

Step 5 - Setup MaNGOS

We need to enter the MaNGOS install directory. If you changedthe install directory, this will be different, change to w/e

directory you picked.

Code :

First we copy the config files the compiler made, we don't renamethem because you might mess one up, this way, you have a backup.

Code :

Now we edit them. This will start the Nano editor, this is VERYsimple to use, "^" = "ctrl" in windows, so "^X" would be "ctrl+x".You move around with your numpad (you know, the smaller words,under the numbers, you get to use those now).

Code :

I''m going to assume you know how to change the files respectively.

Step 6 - Setup the Database

There is a magic little command we use during the setup process,this makes things so much simpler.

Code :

We will use this in place of a Windows/Mac MySQL application.

Create the MaNGOS database

Code :

Populate the database

Code :

~# mysql -p'YOUR PASSWORD HERE' ScriptDev2 <ScriptDev2/sql/ScriptDev2_script_full.sql

World Database

Download Database

This is strictly copy/paste for current, this will break in the future, iwill try to keep this updated

Code :

Install Database

Code :

Now apply MySQL updates. There is a list right after this

post, you can follow it to update.

Step 7 - Realmlist

Where going to update the realm name and IP so it can be accessedfrom other computers.

Code :

mysql> exit

Step 8 - Datafiles

Download the datatools, I got these from the contrib folder in theMaNGOS source.

Place these files in your w*w folder and run "ad.exe" and"makevmaps_SIMPLE.bat". This will take a LONG time, when itsdone you will have 4 new folders.Your going to upload, "maps", "dbc", and "vmaps", place these in the"bin" folder You can do this with Filezilla, it supports SFTP, you canupload the files without the need to install an FTP server.

Step 9 - Starting the Server

There are a few ways you can start your server, I'm going to showyou my preferred method. Where going to use a linux cmd line appthat simulates different screen or windows.

Here is a video tutorial to show you how it works:http://impactwow.com/mangos/screen/ - Will re-upload soon.

In your first screen, change to your MaNGOS bin. This could bedifferent if you changed it in step 4.

Code :

Now switch to your second screen, and change to the samedirectory.

Code :

You can now switch between the two.

You should now have a working Mangos - UDB - SD2 - Acid -

Server setup and running, if you have a public/static IP then

the server should be public as well.

Thanks go to artanis for the SD2 patch snippet. Thanks to theawesome mod who made this a sticky.

Mangos SQL Updates

Since there are SO many sql changes made, I will try my best toexplain how to apply the mysql updates.

You will need the current revision of the SD2 World DB youinstalled, from there, you will run ALL updates from that revisionand up.

The updates are in the /mangos/sql/updates folder.

If you update the core, you will need to check for any SQL changesand apply those with each new core.

That doesn't matter with this guide, it will install and build for theright architecture.

Remember, this isn't windows, when you install dependencies, youralways going to get the right architecture.

Regarding the ScriptDev2 patch numbers, this code will just applythe patch in the directory.

Code :

Also, when I compile, I not getting mangos-worldd. Only mangos-realmd and genrevision appear in mangos/bin.

There is an error with SD2, if you look at the make exits, you willsee it does so with errors.

This isn't due to the tutorial, this is the same method I have usedmany times over.

EDIT: just ran the code, and it installed, looks like they fixed it.Join Date:

Hello, just a few suggestions:

apt-get is obsolete in Debian, I don't know how that's in*buntu, I would use aptitude or such more advanced tool, butwhatever, apt-get is the most error-prone solution here ..Use one command per line, no semicolons! If an error occur,the command list continues executing and thus you'reprobably unable to find out where the error occured. If youabsolutelly _must_ use several commands per line, becauseyou feel it's somewhat cool, use `&&' instead of semicolon.This will most likely stop other commands from executing if anerror occur (due to return value).I'm really surprised you used git-am. Almost noone realizesthat I made SD2 patch usable for git-am. You should howeverinclude a git-apply version (or at least mention) for peoplewho don't want any custom commits, because they git-stashall their custom stuff befure update (to make it fast-forward) ..just btw .. you can use wildcards even like "git-amsrc/bindings/ScriptDev2/patches/MaNGOS-*.patch" to get onlythe .patch file (no gzip) ... or use gzipped one together withzcat.Delete everything in the autoreconf line except "autoreconf--install --force", everything else is already done by this onecommand.I don't know why most guides use "--enable-ra" even if 95%of the people using this guide won't ever use RA.Again, separate make from make install with an error check,your current solution is really, really bad as make can likelyfail (which isn't true for mkdir for example).Using mysql passwords on command line is rather dangerous,better solution would be to use "source" from mysql client ordoing something like "cat file1 file2 file3 file4 | mysqlmydatabase -p" and typing the pass once. But that is, ofcourse, not so nice, because you won't know which file causeda possible error.

edit:

win-SCP would be perhaps easier than filezilla, I don't know iffilezilla runs without instalation .. and if remote server doesn'tsupport sftp, but it does have scp, you are able to use that.

I think you should remember this is a guide, if they have a problem,I seriously doubt they can fix it, even with our help.

# apt-get is obsolete in Debian, I don't know how that's in *buntu, Iwould use aptitude or such more advanced tool, but whatever,apt-get is the most error-prone solution here ..

Aptitude would need to be installed, I have never used a UbuntuServer that has come with aptitude. Apt installs these just fine, itsnever messed up on me.

# Use one command per line, no semicolons! If an error occur, thecommand list continues executing and thus you're probably unableto find out where the error occured. If you absolutelly _must_ useseveral commands per line, because you feel it's somewhat cool, use`&&' instead of semicolon. This will most likely stop othercommands from executing if an error occur (due to return value).

I don't feel the semicolon is "cool" in any way, I'm writing thisexpecting people who have no idea what there doing to try andfollow it. This keeps people from copying/pasting over alot ofcommands and missing one. Most of the multi-command lines havea small chance of messing up anyways.

# I'm really surprised you used git-am. Almost noone realizes that Imade SD2 patch usable for git-am. You should however include agit-apply version (or at least mention) for people who don't wantany custom commits, because they git-stash all their custom stuffbefure update (to make it fast-forward) ..

I seen the email headers at the beginning of the patch, that's how Iknew. If someone is going to be adding there own patches, do youthink there going to be following a guide?

# just btw .. you can use wildcards even like "git-am src/bindings/ScriptDev2/patches/MaNGOS-*.patch" to get only the .patch file(no gzip) ... or use gzipped one together with zcat.

You can't use wild cards in this example, I have tried. Try ityourself.

# I don't know why most guides use "--enable-ra" even if 95% ofthe people using this guide won't ever use RA.

If you leave RA off in the config file, does it really hurt anything ?We won't have 5% of people saying "OMG, i followed the guide, andmy super cool make server awesome public script doesnt work!!!HALP!!!"... I would much rather just skip all that.

# Again, separate make from make install with an error check, yourcurrent solution is really, really bad as make can likely fail (whichisn't true for mkdir for example).

What if I dumped the make and make install to a log file? Then the"new" people could maybe get some help.

# Using mysql passwords on command line is rather dangerous,better solution would be to use "source" from mysql client or doingsomething like "cat file1 file2 file3 file4 | mysql mydatabase -p" andtyping the pass once. But that is, of course, not so nice, becauseyou won't know which file caused a possible error.

If using the password on the CMD line is dangerous, maybe youshould worry about who has access to your server root to look atthe history where you used them. I do the MySQL commandsseparate because if there going to have a problem, its going to behere.

If they can't get Filezilla working, then they can ask for help, tryingto keep this simple.


Do the "UDB_0.11.5_Core_7681_SD2_1012.sql" already include the"009_acid.sql" and "mangos_scriptname_full.sql"?

I think yes

EDIT:

I suggest to add also:

~# cp etc/scriptdev2.conf.dist etc/scriptdev2.conf

or it does not need?

~# mysql -p'YOUR PASSWORD HERE' mangos <UDB_0.11.5_Core_7681_SD2_1012.sql~# mysql -p'YOUR PASSWORD HERE' mangos < 009_acid.sql~# mysql -p'YOUR PASSWORD HERE' mangos < scriptdev2/sql/mangos_scriptname_full.sql

~# cp etc/mangosd.conf.dist etc/mangosd.conf~# cp etc/realmd.conf.dist etc/realmd.conf





I run them both, UDB has SD2 1012 and SD2 is at 1083, this way,your using the current version (which could have some majorupdates).

You don't need to copy SD2 config, it makes 2 on its own.

The only reason you would need to apply SD2 SQL patches is if yourupdating your server, this is for a fresh install, not an update.

I'm not sure I understand the eighth and ninth steps, I don'tunderstend where I should place the "dbc" and "maps" folders (onwindows i place them in the same folder of mangosd.exe andrealmd.exe)..

anywhere..Thanks for all your work and patience, I would be grateful if youwrite an Updating Guide for Ubuntu, after you finish all works forthe Setup Guide....

edit: just place the "maps" and "dbc" in the "bin" folder

Rev. 7810 restructured a lot of code, resulting in the conflict. UntilSD2 updates their patch, you can temporarily checkout 7809 (whichseems to compile cleanly for me) by running:

git checkout 04a788ba038903879b5490cf3f94daf9db2382be

in the MaNGOS root directory, and then following the howto fromthe last line of "Step 2" in the guide.

And

thats hm big words ... I use apt every day. Just not being thenewest of the new doesn't make things "obsolete".

Just my point of view.
