Ascent server problems?

[foxfire]

Ok so I start no-ip then background then i try to run logonserver and ascent.exe but as soon as i start them it says this:

Connecting to MySQL on Localhost with (root:********)
Sql:  Connection failed.  Reason was acess denied for user

Yes i am running on administrator user... um anyone know?

It means that your password and/or username are incorrect, check your configuration files and see if you typed in the passwords correctly.

IF YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD ARE ROOT

Ascent-world.conf

<WorldDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "root" Name = "ascent" Port = "3306" Type = "1">
<CharacterDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "root" Name = "ascent" Port = "3306" Type = "1">

Ascent-logonserver.conf

<LogonDatabase Hostname = "localhost"
               Username = "root"
               Password = "root"
               Name     = "ascent"
               Port     = "3306"
               Type     = "1">

you entered your mysql user and pass wrong in the ascent.conf

I checked that and my username and pass are right?? :S

In your system32 folder (C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc) is a file called hosts. Open it up with notepad and make sure you see something like this:

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

127.0.0.1       localhost
localhost    youraddress.no-ip.com

Check to see if your logonserver passwords are right

[foxfire]

im pretty sure my password was root and thats what they are set as. but is there a way to find out if im right about that?

Reconfiger the Mysql server. So much easier, but before you do that - change your password in the configs to 'ascent'. (no ' things!) Thats Reconfiger the instance of server and NOT REINSTALL!

How do i reconfigure it?

[EatUrBrains]

Go to the mysql folder then click config options

[foxfire]

What exactly do i configure? I tried configuring but it still doesnt work.
