EOC connect to non-standard name (ie- not "peq")

[mrquincy]

Hello,

I have a home server running Debian Jessie that I use for many things, including an eqemu server.

I already had my router set up to forward 3306, and it works fine with my other applications. I created the eoc_database_user at the command line, as recommended. I confirmed that the user exists with appropriate permissions via phpMyAdmin.

I can connect to the database from the commnd line, no problem.

The only thing that sticks out to me about my installation is the name of my peq database. I call it "eq" instead of "peq", and this doesn't seem to work for me. Has anyone tested a nonstandard database name?

Connect parameters are:
<MY IP>
eq
eoc_database_user
eoc_database_password

I found the solution. I was using a bind address for mysql security. I am a little concerned about opening mysql up to any ip, but I suppose this is why all my users, except for the EOC user, are only valid when connecting from localhost. Should be fine, I guess.
