config.lua

--- Fixed correct password on both. all info is correct now, still doesn't work.

config.php

Tables are correct

cPanel has the correct functions for this to work

Website is up, running and functional with the address shown.

Since you're hosting the MySQL server externally, you can't use localhost as sqlHost.
Change the sqlHost to the ip of the mysql server.
Example:

sqlHost = "123.123.123.123"

If the MySQL server is far away this might cause performance errors, with long SQL loads and stuff like that.
The best is always to host the MySQL server on the same host as the game server.
