Requirements :

-Wrath of the Lich King Beta client (not Alpha , you can uninstall it because it's useless now)

enUS Beta Client : http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/downl...ader-enUS.html (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/downloads/clients/pc/beta-downloader-enUS.html)
enGB Beta Client : http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/downl...ader-enGB.html (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/downloads/clients/pc/beta-downloader-enGB.html)

-I'm recommending you http://www.************/forums/emulat...d-mogrein.html ([REPACK] WotLK MaNGOS Compiled by Mogrein) (http://www.************/forums/emulator-server-guides/149245-repack-wotlk-mangos-compiled-mogrein.html) for this
-Latest Wrath of the Lich King Beta patch (update the game after installation)
-Navicat / HeidiSQL (for importing the .SQL files into the server database)
-MySQL any version (to get Navicat / HeidiSQL working)
-The most important thing : Knowledge about private servers.


Step one :

1.Download the repack and extract it in a New Folder (you can rename it if you desire)
2.After in the repack's folder there is a folder named "DBC & Map Extractor" double click on it and copy / paste the ad.exe in the Wrath of the Lich King Beta folder.
3.Double click on ad.exe and a box will show up , it will automatically create a folder named "DBC" and "Maps".
4.After the box disappears (means that it's done) , cut / paste the "DBC" & "Maps" folder in the repack folder.

Step Two :

1.Install MySQL and after double click on it and let it open.
2.In my case open Navicat and create new Connection (local host) and after new Databases named like this :
"Characters" , "Realmd" , "mangos" and "scriptdev2".
3.After you can find these in the Database folder @ Repack for "Execute Batch File".
4.Execute each database with the matching one , "Realmd" with Realmd.sql , "mangos" with mangos.sql "Characters" with Characters.sql and "scriptdev2" with scriptdev2.sql

Step Four :

1.Open mangosd.conf file (with Notepad / Wordpad) and edit (in my case) "ascent" written with red , with your MySQL password.

Code:
LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;ascent;realmd"
WorldDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;ascent;mangos"
CharacterDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;ascent;characters"
2.Do the same thing with the Realmd.conf

Code:
LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;ascent;realmd"
3.Set your realmlist

set realmlist 127.0.0.1

(Wrath of the Lich King beta realmlist.wtf).
4.Delete your cache.
5.Open MySQL , Realmd and after mangosd.
6.Write in the mangosd console "setbc administrator 1" that means it will enable TBC on the administrator account.
7.Login with Username / Password : administrator / administrator
8.Enjoy!
