Default EOC not working?

Does EOC still work with the new servers? I followed the steps in the wiki, set up my user in mysql but it will not let me connect. Ports are open for 3306 , my outside ip is inputed, database name, username, and pw ... says
Cannot connect to server!
Cannot connect to database peq

I got it to work on an outside connection but if I use a pc on the same network it will not connect. How do I fix that ?

Is the account you are trying to use for the database login granted permissions from that host?

Are you trying to resolve an external ip/port locally? need moar detail kiddo.

Not really sure what you asking.... I followed the guide on how to create the user and everything for EOC. I log onto in via my main pc at home and it will not let me connect. I take my laptop over to my dads house and it lets me connect just fine from his network. so for some reason I cannot connect from inside the same network the server is on

What IP address are you trying to connect to for EOC on your local network?

I'm having the same problem as ionhsmith. I've done 9 fresh installs in the past 2 days. Yes, that does mean on a fresh VM install each time. I can get my server up and running. I can set up GM accounts and play. I can even access the database via HeidiSQL. I've used Navicat and created a new user login. I simply can't get EOC to work. I keep getting the same error messages.

Cannot connect to server!
Cannot connect to database peq

I can't get it to work with either an inside or outside connection. I can't figure it out even though I've followed the instructions exactly. It's very irritating.

You cannot resolve an external IP Address internally.

PM me (both of you) and I'll see if I can resolve it.

Works perfectly fine for me.

Probably better to say that "most" routers don't allow loopback inherently.

If you ran your user creation with the DNS name - some folks have been issues with that. So you may want to try re-creating the EOC user using the IP instructed in the Wiki guide

Code:
CREATE USER 'myuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypass';
CREATE USER 'myuser'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypass';
Then

Code:
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'myuser'@'localhost';
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'myuser'@'%';
