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.

Reinstalled everything again on a Debian server and everything works without opening ports or editing /etc/hosts. Incredible.

More than week trying to make it work and im not able to do it. I have spoken with my flatmates and I'm willing to pay someone to make it work. Obviously I'm not able to pay a big amount because the server is just for fun between flatmates. The error is that it stucks on retreiving characters, seems to connect correctly. PM if interested. Thanks.

I don't find where is the problem. I have completely uninstalled the firewall from the vps in case the ports were not being opened correctly and i still have the same problem (stucks on retrieving character list). Is there any log file where i could see in wich point the problem starts? Thank you

In this case my neighbor is myself because the server (VPS) is not mine, its from a hosting provider but ok, im answering. Your neighbor has the wtf modified with the public DNS ✓ Your neighbor is using the exact version to connect to your machine ✓ Your machine has the DB, the authserver, and worldserver all running on it ✓ Everything from the .conf has localhost or 127.0.0.1 ✓ it's set on 127.0.0.1 Your router has 8085 and 3724 forwarded... ¿in this case it's just opening ports via ssh on the server? what¡s the router of a hosting provider? The firewalls are enabled to communicate through 8085 and 3724 ✓ i disabled completely the firewall on the VPS Your neighbor can ping the public IP (DNS) that you obtained from, lets say whatismyip.com ... ✓ i pinged my server ip from my pc and worked You verified that public IP matches the DNS that you are hosting... ✓ Last but, not least. You put the public IP in the DB.realmist, and relaunched authserver... ✓ Your neighbor is able to connect... (fail) ----------------- i think problem could be in the dns configuration. in this case, the dns is also the hostname of the server. i dont know if that can be causing a problem. apart from that, lets take as an example that dns.mydomain.com is the dns im using for Trinity, i have also configured ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com as defualt nameservers of the VPS. i did that right now to try something new because i wasnt sure the default dns my hosting provider gave me were working so i registered a domain to do it myself. Identical results

Yes im trying to connect from another machine. I have already tried putting the public ip in the address field in database. It does exactly the same as if i put directly the dns (i saw Athena says in a lot of posts to put the dns). How should be the hosts file exactly? Is it correct? Its been 3 days im trying to make this work, i dont want to give up now. I have recompiled everything again, deleted databases and made thm again. I have even tried a free dns server to be sure the one the hosting provider gave me is not wrong and i always get the exact same result. It connects because i can see the realm name i introduced on the db but i stuck on retreiving character list or get the error i described on first post. My ports are opened for sure, i have tried to change thm too for other ones just in case they were already on use but the same problem again. Can it be a security system my vps has? (I disabled vps firewall already)

I have: 1 Trinity dns.domain.com 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 8085 0 0 1 0 0 12340 I have tryed changing too the dns for the public ip of the vps but i get same error. ----------- Edit: if i make some changes on /etc/hosts and leave it like this: 127.0.0.1 DNS # Auto-generated hostname. Please do not remove this comment. PUBLIC IP DNS I get stuck on realm selection (in wow client). It has to connect correctly somehow because if i change the realm name i see it reflected ongame.

Fixed! I couldn't find the spoiler option. About the revision i didn't understood what it was and im still not sure about it.

Hi, I have rented a small dedicated server with linux to create a Trinity Core for playing with my flatmates. I have managed to build everything but for connecting i need to make it public because the server is not mine. I have 2 kind of error when trying to login, and i don't know why sometimes it gives me one and other times the other one. - What is your O.S. version? Centos 5.8 - What is your core version? TrinityCore rev. acf6c79d9bd2 (master branch) - Where did you grab it? Github as explained on the Wiki - Did you compiled yourself? Yes - Do you have all dependency's correctly installed? Yes - Did you Follow our wiki? Yes - What is your MySQL Server version? 5.1.66 - Did you opened the necessary ports? Yes, i have checked it several times - Do you have any custom patches in the core? Which ones? Did you try without them? Nothing, it's just a fresh and clean compilation - What is your wow client version? Did you extracted the necessary files from it? 3.3.5 (12340) Extracted dbc, maps and vmaps from it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1º problem: i run ./authserver and ./worldserver and everything seems to work fine. I open the client, put my login and it gets stuck on the retrieving character list. On console for the ./worldserver i dont see any error, nothing new appears. 2º problem i run ./authserver and ./worldserver and everything seems to work fine. I open the client, put my login and it connects but disconnects immediately from server. On console for the ./worldserver i see TC> WorldSocket::HandleAuthSession: Authentication failed for account: 1 As i said before, there is no difference between the errors, i get both of them indistinctly. I haven't recognized any pattern. Databases i think are correctly installed and updated. In auth database, in addres field of realmlist i have putted the dns my hosting provider gave me, as i dont have any domain names because it's a private server for my flat as i explained before. Here are my config files: authserver.conf worldserver.conf /etc/hosts (the dns where configured by my host provided as i dont have domain name because its not public server) 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost # Auto-generated hostname.
