Is your mysql server running? See it in the tasklist?

Ok, are you insinuating that I am slow or something, of course its running....

Any how I fixed it...finally I could not host it on my local PHP, I had to host it on 0fees.net....sorta sucks but better than trying to get information for something I can't get done. So for those that attempted to help, Thanks very much.

Not sure if this is possible to not. I will try to explain what I am attempting to do. Please let me know if this is possible.

I have two DIFFERENT servers. One has my game servers and b3 running on it. The other is my website hosting company.

I installed Echelon on the website hosting companies servers and created the echelon database. That appears to be fine.

Now, I want to connect Echelon to the b3 database on my OTHER server box running the game servers and B3 database. I know in this section of the inc_config.php is where this information goes.

   // Database connection for the B3
      "hostname" => "localhost",
      "database" => "b3_cod4",
      "username" => "myusername",
      "password" => "mypassword",

I have tried leaving "localhost", but then it looks on the WEB server box not the GAMESERVER box. How do I set this up to connect to the game server box, but still show on my web site?

Is this even possible??

Thanks in advance for the help.

   // Database connection for the B3
      "hostname" => "localhost",        <--- IP for your gameserver box
      "database" => "b3_cod4",         <--- database name for b3
      "username" => "myusername",
      "password" => "mypassword",

for example:

      "name" => "|EAS|CoD4",
      // Database connection for the B3
      "hostname" => "69.12.111.32",
      "database" => "b3",
      "username" => "myusername",
      "password" => "mypassword",

And that is assuming that you can hit the db from the web.

how do I know if I can hit the DB from the web or not?

you could ping it from windows, or you could try an online utility.

you could give a try to mysql admin tools : http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html
and try to connect to your db with them
