Problem with mysql-async connection, access denied to wrong IP

I know i have my connection string right, i was able to both connect locally and remotely to my machine, but when server starts I get a bunch of mysql-async errors.

[ERROR] connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:3306
[MySQL] [ERROR] [grp-garage] An error happens for query "UPDATE owned_vehicles SET garage = ?, state = ? WHERE state = ? : ["Q","Out","Out"]": connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:3306

though i have in my server.cfg file the connection string:

set mysql_connection_string “server=localhost;database=essentialmode;userid=fivem;password=*****”

and in my resources.cfg the Async library is added:


# Mysql/Base
start mysql-async

Can anyone help me?
