Ok, Cavedude's ServerPack 3.1 has been installed. Like he said, make sure you have already installed MySQL and Perl as the guide described, linked way up at the top on the first page.
Also, like he said, make sure you put in the correct path for MySQL and your Everquest folder. The default that came up for me was wrong, triple check to make sure it is correct. I am not sure, but it is probably case sensitive. And, make sure you select the correct radiobuttons for what type of login you want. I went with minilogin.
During the process you should see a command prompt type window open and it will say something about "sourcing" your database. This screen should be up for a couple of minutes. If it only stays up for less than a minute you may have put in the wrong path or have some other kind of problem. I am not nearly smart enough to tell you what to do if that is the case. I would try uninstalling and reinstalling the serverpack.
Hopefully it is ok for me to put a link here. Download Cavedude's serverpack from here:

If you are reading this guide a while after it was written there may be updates or an entirely new serverpack available. Check the download section.
Isn't it a purty site? It is/was run by the Sesmar that has replied in this guide.
Ok, now what is the next step? I was thinking that it is time to install minilogin.
