[World Server] Loading server configuration..

[World Server] Added loginserver 127.0.0.1:5998
[World Server] Connecting to MySQL ...
[World Server] Cannot continue without a database connection.

I use Win 7-64, MySQL 5.1.73 and Perl 5.12.3
But the server I am trying to update from is an old one, (few years ago).
It connects to the DB no problem, so I am stumped, hahaha

As long as you run world.exe within the context of the server directory and your MySQL credentials are correct in the eqemu_config.xml, the eqemu_update.pl script should launch without issue.

Ok, maybe we found an issue here. I double checked the .rar pack, there is no file called eqemu_update.pl included with it.

I download the UPDATED (2-13-2015) STABLE from the post you listed ?

No, the binaries from the update will automatically run eqemu_update.pl and download it if you don't have it. You need to drop the updated binaries as instructed into your server folder and this will occur on its own.

I actually did what the instructions said, I unzipped the whole .rar pack in to my eqemu server folder and let it overwrite all the executables. Then I run the world.exe and that's as far as I got. Is that what you mean ?

Your credentials in your eqemu_config.xml to your MySQL server are wrong, you need to fix it.

Ok, maybe I am misunderstanding something, as I already indicated the current old server I am running now is connecting to the DB from that same file eqemu_config.xml (user name root pass *****) for db login.
I have not changed that config file, I left it in the server folder when I put your world.exe file in there.
I've been running this older server for a few years now, just thought I would update and seen your repack and figured I would try it out.

When world.exe says cannot continue without a MySQL server, its failing to login.

If you installed the repack it is installed MariaDB, another database engine on top of what you had. I would look into that.
