Introduction

This guide is intended for advanced setups or just to provide more details in setting up your realm for local or internet use. In general the default setup explained in your particular OS specific guide should be fine for simple setups.

Important | This guide is not meant to replace the How-to guides for your particular operating system. If you didn't read that guide go back and do that first.

Client setup

Client setup is pretty simple. Edit realmlist.wtf and make sure the IP or hostname directs the client to the server by IP or hostname which will usually be the same as your realmlist database entry.

Worldserver and Authserver configurations

For almost all basic setup scenarios the default localhost (127.0.0.1) IP settings should be left alone. The default bindip (0.0.0.0) should be left alone as well.

Setting the auth database realmlist for internet connections

This is where you have to use your internet IP so clients from the internet can find your server. You have to have the ports forwarded or open from your router / firewall.
