MAKE YOUR TRINITY SERVER PUBLIC [GUIDE]

 

 

Lurking around here i saw that most of the topics are either outdate or toooo old (pitty...) so I decided to make a guide on how to make your server online
You will actually going to need 4 things.

  • Open Your ports
  • Get a DNS
  • Change the Hosts file
  • Change the realmlist

Chapter 1: Open Your Ports
Keep in mind that the procedure to open your ports are different for every router.

  • 80 - Default port for Apache servers.
  • 3306 - Default port for MySQL servers.
  • 3443 - Default port for remote access.
  • 7878 - Default port for SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol).
  • 3724 - Mandatory Realmlist port.
  • 8085 - Mandatory World Server port.

You can check if your ports are open using the aboce website.
 
Chapter 2: Get A DNS
The reason you want a DNS is that you need a realmlist (DUUUUH!). For example if I have a server called Dreamless Gaming my realmlist would be something like logon.Dreamless-Gaming.com. In order to get a Realmlist like the previous one you need to have a domain (DUUUH once again). Although you can use free sites that do that things i.e [url=http://dyn.com/dns/]DYNDNS. You also need to know your IP Adress which can easily be found at http://www.whatismyip.com/ .
 
Chapter 3: Change the hosts file
There are some stuff that need to be explained over here but i don't feel like getting in to them mainly because this guide is for beginners and not for intermediate users so... to the point! 
Go to C:/Windows/System32/Drivers/etc, open the hosts file (Use Notedpad) and edit it just like that

 

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
#    127.0.0.1 localhost
#    myexternalipadress mydyndns

 

P.S External Ip address is the one that you found using http://www.whatismyip.com

 

 

 

Chapter 4: Change the mother@%#^*$^# Realmlist

I believe this one is the thing that most of newbies mail me for actually saying "uuuuuuaaaaa I did what I read and my server is not onlineeee". Well...what you have to do is to open your database using HeidiSQL, locate auth, open the realmlist table and change the address from 127.0.0.1 to you ExternalIpaddress.

 

Thats all folks. Uhm, i'm gonna lay down here for some time to answer questions and share guides for beginners (as we all were beginners once). Don't hesitate to pm me with any questions. 

I'm no kind of a God. We all make mistakes so don't judge from the very first moment ;-)
