Final Server Steps
This article is part of theĀ Installation Guide. You can read it alone or click on the previous link to easily move between the steps.
After completing all the steps listed above you can now start your server.
- Run theĀ authserver (bnetserverĀ on master)Ā to run your server.
- Tip: The authserver (bnetserverĀ on master) allows you to enter your username (email on master)/password to connect to the Realm Selection screen, and the worldserver allows you to connect to the realm itself. Once you are in-game, the authserver (bnetserverĀ on master) can be safely closed if you wish no one else to connect to server.

!NEVER! create an account directly into your database unless you are ABSOLUTELY SURE that you know what to do and how to do it!
- Next create your Login Account by typing directly into theĀ worldserverĀ window the GM CommandĀ account create (bnetaccountĀ create on master).Ā Syntax:Ā (see examples below)
If you wish to set the account as a GM then type into theĀ worldserverĀ window:Ā account set gmlevel $account #level #realmidĀ whereĀ $accountĀ is the account name to change,Ā #levelĀ can be 0-3 andĀ #realmidĀ is the realm ID. Setting aĀ #levelĀ of "3" is GM account level (higher numbers = more access), and the "-1" is the realm ID that stands for "all realms".
Open theĀ worldĀ database in your database management tool and find theĀ commandĀ table. This table shows a full list of GM commands, their descriptions, and the security (GM level) needed to use them. You will not find a more accurate list of current GM commands anywhere else (assuming you keep your database up-to-date). The security level for a given command identifies that THAT GM level can use the command, along with all GM levels above it. For example, if a command has a security of 2, all accounts with a GM level of 2, 3, and 4 will be able to use it. More detailed information can be found at GM Commands Page.
- Minimize your servers and runĀ WoWĀ (never run WoW using the Launcher unless you edited the realmlist.wtf's patchlist option above).
- Log in using the user/pass you just created.
- TheĀ TrinityĀ realm should be selectable. Log in, create a character, and you're all done!
