Couldn't open RootWmo!!! Done! Extract V4.00 2012_02. Work complete. No errors. ``` **Movement Maps (aka mmaps - optional RECOMMENDED)** Extracting mmaps will take quite a while depending on your machine (up to hours). ``` cd mkdir mmaps; ./mmaps_generator ``` Now that everything is completed, you need to copy **dbc**, **maps**, **vmaps** and **mmaps** folders to your AzerothCore build directory (e.g. *$HOME/build/data/*). ## Setting up the configuration files First of all you need to find the two default config files (named worldserver.conf.dist and authserver.conf.dist) and copy them. Then rename the copies their namesakes without the .dist extension. You can find them within /build/configs/ (may vary). Open the .conf files and scroll down to LoginDatabaseInfo, WorldDatabaseInfo, and CharacterDatabaseInfo and enter MySQL login information for the server to be able to access your database. On a newly compiled configuration, you will have the following values by default ``` LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;acore;acore;acore_auth" worldserver.conf / authserver.conf WorldDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;acore;acore;acore_world" worldserver.conf CharacterDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;acore;acore;acore_characters" worldserver.conf ``` They follow this structure: ``` Variablename = "MySQLIP;Port;Username;Password;database" ```
