Hey guys whatsup, I've been a member of MMOwned for a while now, ok maybe not a member but still.
Im going to show you guys how to setup a WOTLK 3.0.3 ArcEmu Server. Ok, Lets Get Started.
First Off: You need a Repack, I reccomend this one:
Ultimate WOTLK Repack ~ [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Update One ~ [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
You Also Need MySql 5.0 ~ [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
And Navicat ~ [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Now to begin.
Step One: Let's Configure MySQL. Start the Installation you should see a box pop up. Click Typical, then Next, Then click Install, Wait for the Installation to Finish. Another Box Should pop up, click Next. You'll Then see a window that says "Configure MySQL Server" Check it and Click Finish. On the next window click Standard Configuration and hit Next. Make sure the box "Install as Windows Service" is Checked Off as well as "Launch The MySQL Server Automatically". Click next Make Sure "Modify Security Settings" is checked, It'll ask you to enter a password i recommend "root" because it's the easiest to use for new comers and It's easy to remember. Click next and let it Configure Once its done, Click Finish.
Step Two: Now to Install Navicat. It's pretty easy to install just like any other program. Now open up Navicat, and Click Connection (Top Left). Give it a Name, leave the Host as LocalHost, the Username as root and enter the password I told you to remember. Click Ok. You should now see a connection on the Left Side. Double Click it and then right click it, Click new Database, name it Logon, hit enter, do the same thing only name it World. Double Click both world and logon. Now, Right Click Logon and click Execute Batch File... than Look inside the First Folder I told you to download, choose Database(needed) and choose WOTLK_Char Database and hit Ok. It Only takes a few seconds to execute.
Now right click world, Execute Batch File... Do the same thing only with WOTLK_World Database. This can take up to 20 Minutes. Be patient. After That you have the basic Database's. If you want the more advanced Databases all make another guide for installation of those who want it. Let's Continue.
Step Three: Ok this is your last step, Now, that you've finished the databases we have to do the Configuration Files. you'll find them inside your "Server" folder lets start with ArcEmu ~ Logonserver.

#######################################################################
# LogonDatabase Section
#
# These directives are the location of the `realms` and `accounts`
# tables.
#
# LogonDatabase.Host - The hostname that the database is located on
# LogonDatabase.Username - The username used for the mysql connection
# LogonDatabase.Password - The password used for the mysql connection
# LogonDatabase.Name - The database name
# LogonDatabase.Port - Port that MySQL listens on. Usually 3306.
# LogonDatabase.Type - Client to use. 1 = MySQL, 2 = PostgreSQL, 3 = Oracle 10g
#
<LogonDatabase Hostname = "localhost"
Username = "root"
Password = "root"
Name = "arcemu_logon - Change it to Logon"
Port = "3306"
Type = "1">
# Host Directive
#
# This is the address that the realmlist will listen on.
# To listen on all addresses, set it to 0.0.0.0
# Default: 127.0.0.1 (localhost)
#
# Note: ISHost is the interserver communication listener.
#
# Server console logging level
#
# This directive controls how much output the server will
# display in it's console. Set to 0 for none.
# 0 = Minimum; 1 = Error; 2 = Detail; 3 = Full/Debug
# Default: 3
#
<LogLevel Screen = "0"
File = "-1">
# Account Refresh Time
#
# This controls on which time interval accounts gets
# refreshed. (In seconds)
# Default = 600
#
<Rates AccountRefresh = "600">
# Accepted Build Range Setup
#
# These two directives set up which clients will be
# allowed to authenticate with the realm list.
#
# Set these to the same builds that the server was
# compiled for.
#
# As of the last update, version 2.1.1 was build 6739.
#
<Client MinBuild = "1"
MaxBuild = "9999">
# WorldServer Setup
#
# RemotePassword
# This directive controls the password used to authenticate with the worldserver.
# It must be the same between the two configs. If it is not, your server will
# not register.
#
# Default: "change_me_logon"
#
# AllowedIPs
# This section MUST be completed, otherwise all attempts to link your servers will fail.
# These "Allowed" fields are a space-seperated list of CIDR-form IP addresses that are allowed
# to make server connections to your logonserver, and register realms.
# For example, everything in the 127.0.0.* range would be:
# 127.0.0.0/24, as 24 of the bits must match the 127.0.0.0
#
# To allow a single IP,
# 1.3.3.7/32, would allow only 1.3.3.7 to connect as 32 of the bits must match.
#
# AllowedModIPs
# In the same form as AllowedIPs, these are the IPs that are allowed to modify the database
# (adding bans, GMs, account permissions, etc)
#
#/********************************************************************************
# * How to use this config file: *
# * Config files are in a block->variable->setting format. *
# * A < signifies the opening of a block, the block name is expected after that. *
# * After the block name, a space and then the settings sperated by = / ' '. *
# * *
# * e.g. *
# * <block setting="0" someval = "1"> *
# * *
# * Comments can be in C format, e.g. /* some stuff */, with a // at the start *
# * of the line, or in shell format (#). *

# Power regeneration multiplier setup
#
# These directives set up the multiplier in which regen values will be

# by this value in order to get his xp gain.
#
# RestXP:
# Amount of hours needed to get one Bubble rested XP ( one bubble is 5% of the complete XP bar)
# Default is 8 hrs rest for one bubble. Raising this rate causes RestedXP to be earned faster,
# F.e, setting a rate of 2 makes you require only 4 hrs reesting for 1 bubble (instead of 8).
# Note that resting in a resting area (Zzz) goes 4 times faster.
# Default: 1 (bubble every 8 hrs)
#
# Drop(Color):

# by this value.
#
# ArenaMultiplier
# Every week/day the arena points gained by a player will be multiplied by this value.

# Movement Setup
#
# NOTE: For any of these directives to function, movement compression has to be compiled into
# the server.
#
# FlushInterval
# This is the interval at which movement packets will be flushed to the client, i.e. compressed/sent.
# If you have a high threshold, keeping this at 1-2 seconds will work better.
# Default: 1000 (one second)
#
# CompressionRate
# This is the deflate compression rate. Higher will use more cpu, but smaller packets.
# Range: 1-9 (or 0 is disable)
# Default: 1
#
# CompressionThreshold
# This is the distance that will be used to determine if an object needs to be sent compressed or
# normal. It is advised to keep it at least 30 units. This value is used for players.
# Default: 30.0
#
# CompressionThresholdCreatures
# This is the distance that will be used to determine if an object needs to be sent compressed or
# normal. This value is used for creatures, so it can be a lot lower.
# Default: 10.0

I'm trying out your guide now, will +rep if it works out. However I thought you should know that the "Update One" file found over at Rapidshare can't be found because it tries looking for a file named files/16520225..._-Update_1.rar.
IPB has a screwed up system for it's link parsing. Thought you oughta know.

Hey I am also testing this, will let you guys know how it works out! I think I was missing that file but he fixed the link and i am downloading it now, so far mine won't log into the world...I may fix the website portion of this and if I do i will post it so it can be put into a repack or something
******Update******
the server works but it won't let me make a death knight...i checked the optional file and edited some things. In the guide you link 2 different repacks, which one are we supposed to use? Thanks!

You can use either one The First One is a little more stable but the update has more features ill link some extra SQL's that might help with Death Knights.
Do quests work with this or any other private server for that matter? I'm looking to set one up for local (literally private) use while I'm away over the Christmas holidays (I won't have internet access until the 10th of Jan, 2008 lol).
So basically, anything with some basic quests would help if it's possible so I have something to do over the Summer lol.

I have this working, but the WOTLK content isnt working, no zepplin to northrend and some of the NPC's are messed up. Is this just a bad repack? I gave rep to the poster because it does work and it is a 3.0.3 server, the repack just isn't that good
Cheers!
****update****
you can use .recall port northrend to get into the zone. The npc's don't seem to be working. Many thanks hawkeye for your post though. I rep'd you!

I don't know why but when i try logging in it gets stuck in "Handshaking". Can anyone help me with that?
hmmm... This is a fairly common problem and there could be many reasons as to why this is occuring. Try posting some of your config. files. maybe then we could be able to give you a more definitive answer.

I followed the instructions exactly, except I changed some settings in the configuration files for xp, drop rates, that sort of stuff.
When I go to start the logonserver or world, I get an error message that says "The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail." Unfortunately, I have no idea what this means, and I'm not quite sure where to find the event log.
If it helps, I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit on this system:
AMD Athlon 64 x2 5000+
Radeon HD3850 512MB
2GB OCZ Platinum DDR2 800
I'm logged in as Administrator, I have UAC turned off, and I've tried running it in XP compatibility mode.
EDIT: Nevermind, maybe I should've done some poking around these forums first
