Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

FiveM database connection failed – most common cause?

Wrong connection string in server.cfg or resource (mysql://user:pass@host/db). Host 127.0.0.1 if DB on same server, else external IP. Port 3306 open.

oxmysql vs mysql-async?

oxmysql is current standard. Only one MySQL resource active. Remove old mysql-async if using oxmysql.

ESX/QBCore won't start due to DB?

Import database first (es_extended.sql / qb-core.sql). User needs ALL PRIVILEGES on DB. Test password without special characters.
