As has already been said, your attitude is not likely to get you much assistance with your issues. The community is often likely to help people when they can, but no one is getting paid to do so, so being rude is more likely to result in no responses. You have started off rude in this thread and every post since then has followed that same overall feeling.

Regardless of what you may think, lerxst2112 is one of the more active, more knowledgeable and more helpful people in the EQEmu community right now. You are working against yourself to be rude to him like that. I won't tolerate disrespect to top notch community members, so please stop it.

First of all, from all of your posts, it looks like you are not following the guide exactly. You are trying to take short cuts or use other tools/procedures you have used for setting up your WoW emu server. If you knew exactly what you were doing and if you were able to get your server setup by doing things differently than the guide says, then that would be good. Unfortunately, that isn't working out so well for you. My suggestion would be to follow the guide exactly. If you can get the server working by following the guide exactly, then you can start doing your other stuff.

Yes, the EQEmu guides could probably be made better. Part of the problem is that there are many different Operating Systems that can run EQEmu and setting it up on each one can be slightly different. So, it does require a bit of knowledge here and there and is not for everyone out there. Though, there have been hundreds of servers created over the years using similar guides, so it isn't as hard as you make it out to be.

If you are having this much trouble just getting the server running, you are really probably going to have a hard time getting your Login Server or MiniLogin working. Both of those can be kinda tough to get working initially without a little bit of knowledge on what you need to do. The guides help, but many people have issues with it. Getting a public server running that uses the public EQEmu Login Server is much easier and most people do it that way for that reason.

Your posts on the issue seem to be all over the place. You mentioned AX classic repack, and that isn't supported here. You might try their website to see if there is better info there for it. From what I have heard of it, that is about as easy as it gets.

Your problems could be any number of things, and you may not even have the right versions of perl or mysql installed, which is only going to add to your issues.

Good luck with getting it all running. If the negative attitude keeps up, you will be temp banned to let you hopefully cool off.
