Mac's doesn't have WoW Repair or something..

 I have followed the instructions carefully, and I believe the problem is in the Terminal. I did everything you specified however it did not work and wrote back with "no suitable image found" and "did find but wrong architecture". 

Can you please help. Also why login with "Epic/Epic"? 

PS: Epic/Epic currently does not work.

Please help.

 The password, not shown in the New Connection window image, should be the same as the username ("root").

it says:

Connection Fail
Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (61)
Apr 1, 2010. 5:35 PMPixelgun says:
My terminal always starts in the home folder (computername: ~username$) so I had to locate the correct directory to do this which ended up being computername:/ username$ and the I entered cd Server/bin (case sensitive) and then  ./arcemu-logonserver. The result was that the library was not loaded because the image was not found. Looking at the directory in the finder it has arcemu-logonserver,  arcemu-world and arcemu-crashreport files there. Not sure where to go from here.

MYSQL is something else that you need to download. For some reason this guide doesn't talk about that.

Anyway, here is a link to the mysql website.

http://www.mysql.com/


I hope this helps.

 Have you somehow managed to make this work?
Feb 13, 2010. 8:56 AMNibbler19 says:
I did manage to get a server running (with wow patch 3.1.3) and log in, but I never could make a character.

Now that I am using 3.3.2 it doesn't work at all.
Feb 11, 2010. 3:55 PMTaliesinWard says:
 I've been trying this for about two weeks and nothing seems to be working, I don't think anyone is going to help any time soon :(
