Core Protect wont connect to data base

I have all of the details filled in correctly I think but it still doesn't work. Here's the log:

Code:

The last packet sent successfully to the server was 0 milliseconds ago. The driver has not received any packets from the server.

You may want to double check you are using the correct credentials for login to that database. Or does it work with other software, plugins, website?

 

I'm using mysql with xampp, It might not be correct as its the first time I have used mysql.

Code:

use-mysql: true
table-prefix: co_
mysql-host: localhost
mysql-port: 3306
mysql-database: minecraft
mysql-username: root
mysql-password:

 

Why would you use root, that is not a brilliant idea, actually, it is a very bad idea. That does not explain why it won't connect, though. I assume you removed the password just for this post, and it is there in the config.

 

yes I did remove the password but I also tried to use another user. Still it wont allow me to connect either, its also weird to me because the password is also saved in clear text
