I am having the same issue and have done the same things that DDude has done, however, it still hasnt fixed my issue. It is trying to connect to eq@localhost as opposed to the root@localhost it is set up to be.
OK, i fixed it. what is was is it was saved as a file with an extension called "FULL". Simply took out the extension and made sure it was just a .xml file.
