FIXED THE MISSING FILES PROBLEM
google mangos download then download it. make the missing databases then run the sql file by right clicking it and execute. it will be named the same as the database

second pic says: this is where the data ____ is. it is where you can add custom gear, items and people, manage accounts and more stuff like that. he just wants you to double-click the mangos
hatehatehate says: Jun 12, 2010. 7:32 AM
Go www.google.com and type Download libmysqlclient_r.15.dylibthat than u can find it the second one is the right one :D
colorme2 says: May 18, 2010. 10:24 AM
I can't even find the application in my applications.... Anyone have an idea why?
Metroid10 says: Apr 10, 2010. 10:38 AM
i know everyone has already said this but I CANT FIND THE opt FOLDER!!!
Metroid10 says: Apr 10, 2010. 10:28 AM
when i test the conntection, it says:

Connection Failed
Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (61)

What should i do?
Before i entered the Port as 8889 it was 3306. does that change anything?

I have made a working Mac Private server instructable at www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-a-World-of-Warcraft-Private-Server-on-/
relbel111 says: Nov 24, 2009. 5:12 PM
 Same, Terminal will be like "Command Not Found" But I dont have Mango's, I use Navicat with MacPack, HamachiX and ArceMux
boaskater says: Nov 24, 2009. 3:04 PM
 i only have three instead of the six
boaskater says: Nov 13, 2009. 4:54 AM
 where do you find the opt file with mangos-world in it
boaskater says: Nov 13, 2009. 4:49 AM
 i have everything right except i can't find the opt folder
bob1a2x says: Oct 15, 2009. 3:59 PM
There should be a file on the desktop called libmysqlclient_r.15.dylibthat is included with macpack. Open and install it.
konaru says: Sep 20, 2009. 12:09 PM
I get the exact problem as everyone else! I can't seem to fix it :( If ANYONE and i mean ANYONE!!! could help me with this that would be awesome!

Firedanger says: Aug 31, 2009. 10:36 PM
Yeah, same as these guys are saying. Step 5 happens without a hitch, but there is no opt folder or mangos folder anywhere on my hard drive.

smallmammal says: Jul 19, 2009. 9:21 PM
I found that if I went into the MySQL pane of MAMP and uncheck "Allow local access only" then it fixed the problem. :)
Astatinexmime says: Jul 16, 2009. 7:20 AM
Why can't I find Mamp in the applications folder? I can only see arcemu in machintosh hd. Help plz

partycrasher101 says: Jul 14, 2009. 10:56 PM
