I dont mean to sound stupid but I dont know what you mean by variables and or path :( That's why I downloaded this pack I thought it was going to be idiot proof..lol Unfortunately for me its not.. I know very little about MySQL etc. But if I get advice how to do it I can do it.

Sorry Arkansas, when you mentioned MySQL, I assumed you did NOT use Akka's installer ?
since it installs
MariaDB instead of the straight MySQL. If that installer went wrong, I would recommend
uninstalling everything. MySql, perl, etc., then starting out fresh using Akka's install package.
I assume you got the install package from here? -

Yes thats it... I installed it 15 times now and every time says that error about MySQL then after installing mysql then it gave the last error about emu.pl path or something ?

Here is the error I get ?

Ok, it definately looks like the installer and update script is erroring out when it reaches the
the check for mysql or mariadb path because it can't find one. Unfortunately, I have no idea
why, so you will have to have some patience and wait for someone who may have more
knowledge about that. Sorry, I tried.

Here's a quick "easy UI" to edit your windows path, if and when you need to. Just follow the 1-2-3 steps indicated in the pic.
Control Panel > System > Advanced system settings

Ok so I got it working finally, had to wipe my hard drive because I got a virus somehow from online. But good to go now. My thing now is its showing red error on one of the windows is this normal and if so How do I play the server ? Do you have to have EQ game downloaded as well ? I have the game EQ Titan. do I have to change files in it or logon notepad etc. ? I have only messed with WoW Private Server Repacks thats it. Never these kinds before ?

It's starting to look like you are going to have a ton of reading to do on these support forums,
with both the game client and the running of the server. If you have a clean copy of EQ Titan,
(or any other supported clients), that have never been patched into EQ Live servers, then it
will work. You may want to start reading through the "Getting Started" section for playing the
game, as well many other topics dealing with errors or issues coming up on your server.
If you are using your own login server, there is config files that need to be edited to match
what's in the database login tables.

I am so confused thats what I thought this thread/download was basically a private server a unpack and play. Didnt know I would have to get a copy of the game or it wasnt included or have to change stuff :( Thought it was gonna be like a WoW Private server change a login file on your WoW folder and open and connect :( Is this pack not meant to be offline ? To use and host my own mini server for myself to play on ?

You can host for yourself or publicly. The red error message was probably bc of being lan (mine always gives one while trying to connect to public login bc I turned it off) You do still have to have your own game, but titan is just fine. If it all installed as is, you just have to make the shortcut to eqgame and put in the relevant IP, then add patchme, plus put on relevant IP wherever else indicated on the page you got installer from. All this is explained in the links in the last page of posts here.

1) it is a server emulator. private or pubic is entirely up to you.
2) you still have to have a WoW client to play on a WoW private server.
3) you have to change very little if you use one of the automated installers.
4) downloading game clients like WoW from randos off the 'net is how you get viruses.
5) EQ Titan is an emulated server, not a game client. Titanium is a client.

It is? Thought he was just shortening titanium to titan.

My understanding of the situation at this point was that he had issues using the installer, but once viruses fixed everything was done to default. If he managed to customize the installation, idk why the few last setup steps would be so difficult.

Just like rof2 means "rolling on floor twice" :P
