database help pls

[aludain]

Hello all i am using the ax_classic database and it seems to be setup correctly but when i run world.exe it errors saying cannot continue without a database connection. My config file is setup with the password and ax_classic under database, and using the mysql query browser i can connect to the database and see aa entries and whatnot. I tried googling/searching and the two things most things said where do the oldpass /newpass thing, which i tried and set all privileges which i also tried. I setup using techs pdf guide on this site. In the guide it also says ax_classic was setup for minilogin and to run . update variables set value="public" where varname="LoginType"; in the mysql query browser when i do that it says unknown column 'login type' in 'where clause'

I can post any info needed if someone can help me get pointed in the right direction.. wasnt sure what all to add here.Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can provide!!
