- Apache (must know how to install and configure, no help will be given for this)
- Knowledge of VirtualHosts
- XML knowledge (if you want it to look nice!)
- Static external or internal server IP address
Configuring Apache
First we'll need to configure a location to store our files. As an example, we're going to use /www/wowserver. We will need to create two directories:
/www/wowserver/update
/www/wowserver/2.0
Now that we have our base layout made, we're going to need to configure the apache virtualhost to listen for incoming connections via the official domains listed above. Here is an example virtualhost entry, including turning on name based virtual hosts.
| Panel |
|---|
- Use name-based virtual hosting.
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName 192.168.1.1 #YOUR SERVER IP WILL GO HERE!!!! DON'T USE THIS ONE
ServerAlias launcher.worldofwarcraft.com us.version.worldofwarcraft.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@yourdomain.net
DocumentRoot /www/wowserver/
</VirtualHost>
|
If you want to add EU URL support, simply add them to the ServerAlias line.
Files, and what they are used for
Now that we have our virtualhosts configured, we can start creating the files necessary for the patching magic to happen. If you point your browser to http://us.version.worldofwarcraft.com/update/PatchSequenceFile.txt you will see the main file used for patching. Here is what I have been able to figure out about the different sections:

GAME I believe this is for updating older clients, such as 2.4.3 to current, then it passes it to the WoW section

To set which version your clients patch to, you always look at the last set of four numbers in the version in question, so setting CurrentBuild=9551 will update your clients to 3.0.9 9805=WoW-3.0.8.9506-3.0.9.<u><b>9551</b></u>{CPU}{OS}-{LANG}
