The AC-Web Ultimate Repack is widely available on community forums like AC-Web.org or specialized emulation mirrors.

Every WoW server requires a database to store player information, items, and world data. The AC-Web repack comes with a portable MySQL or MariaDB instance.

In this guide, we will walk through the entire installation process, from system requirements to going live. Prerequisites and System Requirements

Before you begin the setup, ensure your hardware and software environment meet these basic criteria:

At least 10GB of free space for the server files and database backups.

To connect to your new server, you need a World of Warcraft 3.3.5a client. Navigate to your WoW Game Client folder.

Avoid placing the folder in "Program Files," as Windows permissions can prevent the database from writing files correctly. Step 3: Starting the Database (MySQL)

This handles user logins and the realmlist. Run this first.

Delete everything inside and replace it with: set realmlist 127.0.0.1 Save the file. Step 6: Creating an Account

Since there are no players yet, you must create your own admin account through the Worldserver console. Go to the running Worldserver.exe window.
