Have you made sure you gave the database user access to the database? You might also try putting localhost for Database Server Hostname.

I have the same problem. Command line login works without issue both locally and from a remote machine using bin/mysql -u <username> -p -h <hostname>
server# /usr/local/bin/mysql -u padmin -p -h <real-hostname-here>
Enter password:

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

However no matter what I put into the myBB web installer it returns the "could not connect..." error on the database configuration page. I own the server, no phpmyadmin or c-panel. So one question would be, what command is the installer using to try to attach to the server?

I recommend you make a separate thread for your issue.
However, if you can use the correct username and password to that database, i recommend you look at your /inc/config.php and ensure you are specifying localhost so that it knows where to go to so query that database with the credentials you have supplied
