Running "./worldserver" displays "Map file './maps/0004331.map': does not exist!" error

Question

I'm trying to set up Azeroth core server, but while ./authserver works without any problem, ./worldserver returns error:

Map file './maps/0004331.map': does not exist!

• DataDir is set up.
• I tried reinstalling data files.
• I tried updating AC core.

The expected result was that the worldserver would boot without trouble, but it returned this error.

EDIT: I had to change "DataDir" also in "worldserver.conf.dist" and it "worked" - it pointed right directory, however it still couldn't detect map files. However after a while with changing DataDir variable inside "worldserver.conf.dist" it started displaying:

ERROR: Invalid or missing default configuration file : /home/user/azerothcore-server/etc/worldserver.conf.dist

So i'm stuck again, any idea what the heck is going on, or maybe i should just reinstall everything with docker?

EDIT 2: Solved problem from latest edit with updating AC, but error Map file './maps/0004331.map': does not exist! persists. Running it with sudo returns Segmentation fault (core dumped). Also Using DataDir ./, which is a default value, even when DataDir is changed.

EDIT 3: Okay, now it reads worldserver.conf, i just had to modify permissions of all files using

find $HOME/azerothcore-server -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

Also had to change permissions of data subfolders manually by doing chmod 755 (foldername). Now Segmentation fault (core dumped) error appears, no idea what's wrong, but right now this question is solved, i'll open a new one for this.

Answer 1

In your worldserver.conf you should set the DataDir parameter with the absolute path of your data directory.

Example:

DataDir = "/home/user/azerothcore-server/data"

Also you are NOT supposed to edit or delete the worldserver.conf.dist

Edit: also make sure that the permissions of the data directory are properly set
