Mysql problem

[Pa1nkill3r]

Hello,
i tried to use a mysql database for my teamspeak server (running on my local pc for testing, but not the mysql-server) and i got a probem:
Everytime i start my ts3 server, the log tells me:

2012-04-08 12:57:32.667000|INFO |ServerLibPriv | | TeamSpeak 3 Server 3.0.3 (2012-03-17 06:12:11)
2012-04-08 12:57:32.668000|INFO |DatabaseQuery | | dbPlugin name: MySQL plugin, (c)TeamSpeak Systems GmbH
2012-04-08 12:57:32.668000|INFO |DatabaseQuery | | dbPlugin version: 1
2012-04-08 12:57:33.674000|ERROR |DatabaseQuery | | mysql_real_connect() failed with error: Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (10061)
2012-04-08 12:57:33.674000|CRITICAL|ServerLibPriv | | Server() DatabaseError

my configuration files are:
ts3server.ini

dbplugin=ts3db_mysql
dbpluginparameter=ts3db_mysql.ini
dbsqlcreatepath=create_mysql/

and
ts3db_mysql.ini

host=a extern server
port=3306
username=xxx
password=xxx
database=xxx
socket=

The config files are in the ts3 folder
Here my startup:

C:\Users\xxx\Desktop\teamspeak3-server_win64\ts3server_win64.exe inifile=ts3server.ini

It only works when i start a local mysql server without a root password
I hope thats enough information.
Please dont complain about my english, im german and not very well in english

It is trying to connect to a server at localhost which probably means one of two things.

• Something is incorrect in ts3db_mysql.ini
• ts3db_mysql.ini is in the wrong place and is not being read at all

I thought the same thing an i tried many locations for the ts3db_mysql.ini nothing helped or put the absolut path to it, or take it in quotes. it never read the ts3db_mysql.ini

Have you searched the forums for this issue? I would but I have to go somewhere. I think I remember seeing issues like this before. Post back if you find something useful.

Thank you for your tips but i ve searched the last hour and found similar problems and no solution has worked.
Maybe its a bug ?

[pillbox1234567]

Found a parameter in a sample ts3server.ini file that yours is missing

dbsqlpath=sql/

It may or may not help. Never actually done this before.

[Pa1nkill3r]

Nope this doesn´t help
I think the problem is that the teamspeak server doesn´t load the mysql configuration file, because it want to connect to the standart ip ( 127.0.0.1 and not to the given ip)

[pillbox1234567]

Try creating a shortcut then add this line after the path

 dbplugin=ts3db_mysql dbsqlpath=sql/ dbsqlcreatepath=create_mysql/

example:

C:\teamspeak3-server\ts3server.exe dbplugin=ts3db_mysql dbsqlpath=sql/ dbsqlcreatepath=create_mysql/

[Pa1nkill3r]

Nope, it still not works

--- Merged ---

I ve found the problem.
The mysql config file has to begin with a "[config]"
thanks for helping
