There appears to be a problem accessing the database. When I launch the server this is what pops up.

When I try to connect using the client it just sits there and kicks me. It doesn't say I'm being added to the database.
I've triple checked to make sure the password/db name is correct and made sure the ports were forwarded. I tried changing the password but not updating eqemu_config.xml and it reacted differently so it sees the database but it has trouble accessing it and perhaps updating it? I'm somewhat new to this. I ran a server several months back and it worked just fine. I tried re-sourcing the database and it started doing this.
It's also having trouble connecting using the EOC but Navicat has no problem connecting using root@localhost.
