TFS 1.X+ Server instantly closes

[dik]

I've been following this tutorial

Everything went fine except few things:
- In the video he imported forgottenserver.sql (I don't have that file in Forgotten Server 1.2 which i downloaded from github BUT i figured it's schema.sql now)
- I've updated config.lua with the connection information such as username and password for MySQL but when i try to start "theforgottenserver.exe" it instantly closes down, so fast that i can't even do a screenshot of the text.

The only logical reason why that would happen is if i didn't put good MySQL details but i am 99% positive that i did..
Is there any way to run server differently so i can atleast see the error?
Thanks in advance!

EDIT:

This is what happens after i change "127.0.0.1" to "localhost" , i understand that it's the same thing but for some reason it stays on the screen longer when i put that on. Any idea why?
This is my test server anyway so if someone could tell me an example of username/pw/database name that would be great.

EDIT 2:

Just for future refference guys, MAKE SURE your user is @localhost and not @local because for some strange reason it won't work at local.. (even tho i put local in config)

EDIT 3:
Had somekind of mysql secret error after trying to login
Did this and it worked:
- Open PHPMYADMIN, click on your database, go to SQL and run this.

ALTER TABLE `accounts`ADD `secret` varchar(255);

127.0.0.1 is the IPv4 address to the local machine.
localhost is a name that is looked up to find the addresses of the local machine.

You can start server in cmd so the terminal won't shut the window down. For example ./nameofexe.exe

Thanks for your reply, hopefully this will help future users as much as it did me.
Specially thanks to Znote for full CMS and tutorial on how to run a OT.
