Can't connect to "localhost"

[bugdan]

Hey I could need some help. I'm uploading my config.xml file here for you to take a look.

http://www.speedy*****malware.localhost/delete.ph...s=xutihegupizu <- config.xml

First of all I'm going to host on a vista computer, this is the guide I used: http://blog.wolffmyren.com/2008/07/3...ndows-xpvista/

In the config.xml file I used my standard-gateway ip (the router ip right) I guess that is relevant when connecting to the localhost and not only hosting the server

Btw I want to use MySql and not SQLite, I've got some problems with SqLite so I'll rather use MySql but I don't know how to set up the config file correctly for that.

-- Database, and sqlKeepAlive by mysql database.
-- To disable sqlKeepAlive use 0 value.
sqlType = "mysql"
sqlHost = "localhost"
sqlPort = 3306
sqlUser = "root"
sqlPass = "hansson"
sqlDatabase = "Noobserver"
sqlFile = "forgottenserver.s3bd"
sqlKeepAlive = 1
optimizeDatabaseAtStartup = "yes"
passwordType = "plain"

Now my question is, why does it matter what settings I put up here^ when I can't even connect to the localhost, it's the localhost I can't connect to so I haven't even chosen a password for the root.

This is pretty much it, I can run apache and mysql services without any problems.

Thanks in advance
