Can't connect to EOC

[rudeboy88]

Hey all,

Recently I was working with getting my server to be able to connect to the EOC and have not been able to solve my issue. When attempting to connect I get two messages that say "Cannot connect to server" and "cannot connect to databse eqdb". Here is the info on what I'm working with:

vbox host: windows 10
server (in a virtual box): ubuntu server 14.04
server setup: most recent (set up about two weeks ago and updated on world startup)

I have 3306 forwarded to my server's vbox, and am able to connect via phpmyadmin both internally and externally, but am not able to connect using the EOC. On my browsing computer I have:

-downloaded and enabled java
-enabled cookies

The user account for the eoc was set up with the permissions specified in the guide (root copy with a different name/pw/ip). I even temporarily made it so that I could log into the eoc user locally, so I know the password is what I expected it to be.
