Default EOC connection issue

I am trying to get eoc to connect to my Akkadius repack but I cant seem to get it to connect... any help would be great. I have port 3306 open, I created a new user, ran the query and changed it to the user name and pw of the data base but it still says connection failed

If I understand EoC correctly, it connects to your database server and reads/writes to an EQEmu database over a network device. With that in mind, the only way anyone can help is for you to provide additional information.

How are you using EoC? Are you using it remotely (e.g., connecting from http://eoc.akkadius.com/EOC2/login.php) or locally (e.g., downloading the EoC source and running it remotely, so it connects over LAN/localhost)?

Along with the above information, please also provide the host (IP address) and port that you've set EoC to connect to (if you'd rather not, simply make sure it's your external IP address if it's a remote connection, internal (LAN) IP address if over LAN, and localhost if on the same computer). If connecting remotely, forwarding the port on your router will be necessary. Remotely or not, check your firewall and make sure the port is allowed to have incoming traffic.

I assume the database credentials you're using are correct as you set that up yourself (do not post this information as that would be a huge security risk).

After that, kindly allow some time before posting again since everyone here has other things in life that must take priority over EQEmu support.

If I'm way off on understanding the situation feel free to say so.

what is eoc? So you have a server up and running and can't connect with your client or what?

edit: ah ok well I have no experience with that so I can't help.

DMZ = Demilitarized zone

Basically, it exposes your computer directly to the Internet. You get no firewall protection, but you don't need to port forward. It's a bad solution to your problem, imo.

Open a command prompt and run this command:
Code:
netstat -an
..and report back the entries ending with :3306.

Like forwarding SQL is any less dangerous?

If you have any know-how of networking (even entry level) you can easily have a secure dmz.

I am not a networking guru. However, based on the OP's question and replies, I don't think he or she has much knowledge of networking (even entry level).

You used the word "again". Does this mean your ports were open before and you were able to connect no problem ?
(Just trying to understand this).

I'm not sure what the installer's default is..but, he probably needs to bind his db to the computer's LAN address rather than localhost.

Throw up teamviewer and drop $100 into my paypal.

Leave a note on the desktop with domain credentials (if you're using AD) for an admin account (and router details) and it'll be done in 30 minutes. Or, I can send you a WebEx. /shrug

Usually my consulting fee is quite higher, but for the EQEmu community, I'll be lenient.
