Hello, I’ve got an issue on my server where when I join it doesn’t load my custom char created from esx it just loads into the default skater ped. Anyone got an idea why this might be happening?
If any other info is required let me know I’ll try to provide that info
This is the only red I got in my server console
Else where nothing
A mod can take this topic down please
Your issue may not be highlighted in red. Can you post server terminal output from server start to player join? Also, any errors in Citizen logs on the client side?
If you can tell me how I can do all that please I would very much appreciate it
Capturing server terminal output would depend on what operating system you’re using to run the server.
You can find your client log files(the computer running the game and trying to connect) in C:\Users<youruser>\AppData\Local\FiveM\FiveM.app\logs and are date stamped. To make it easy, you can clear that directory with the game off, start FiveM and try to connect to that server. Once the issue occurs and after you’re fully logged in, look in that directory again and you should see the log file you need. Make a copy of that file before doing anything else so you don’t add a ton of irrelevant data to it. That copied file is what you want to look at for clientside errors.
Right well I tried this and it didn’t create a new log file. There was one log from 2 months ago way before I created this server. My OS is windows 10
Your issue is that you have not installed ESX Correctly, please read the install guide - Installation | ESX Documentation
Thanks,
Mycroft, Leader of ESX 
After shutting down the game, is the log file there?
And don’t forget about your server terminal output. That’s another necessary portion of the troubleshooting process.
I used txadmin’s ESX recipe so I don’t where your at
And also it was working after I first installed the server using txadmin and than a few days after it wasn’t
Just let us know when you’re ready to troubleshoot your issue.

Found the log. I was looking in the wrong location
fxserver_1646662045.log (52.1 KB)
And here is the log from the terminal (I think)
The first thing I see is that you’re running both mysql-async and oxmysql. Remove mysql-async from your server startup as latest legacy is designed for ox:
[ script:mysql-async] [mysql-async] [ERROR] connect ETIMEDOUT
Second, oxmysql is not connecting, it’s timing out:
[ script:mysql-async] e[0m[mysql-async] [ERROR] connect ETIMEDOUT
[ script:oxmysql] Error: Unable to establish a connection to the database! [ETIMEDOUT]
[ script:oxmysql] connect ETIMEDOUT
[script:TunningSystem] TunningSystem: AUTHENTICATED
[ script:oxmysql] e[0mSCRIPT ERROR in promise (unhandled): Error: esx_datastore was unable to execute a query!
You’re not loading characters because your server is unable to talk to your database. Fix your db issue and your game server will likely start working as intended again.
So i’ve never used oxmysql and both of them where installed when using the recipe. I’ve removed mysql from server.cfg but what else do I need to do with oxmysql?
If that was the way it was installed, it was not a good recipe that you used to build the server.
As for what else you need to do, you need to find out what’s wrong with your MySQL server. It’s refusing connection so it’s either not running or refusing connection from your game server(bad connection info, remote connect blocked, etc.)
It was one of the default ones from downloading the latest artifact. It’s the zap hosting one. Otherwise I got no idea what to do now than
And i mean my mysql server is working perfectly fine on my other local server ive got
I think i understand what you’re saying in the two posts but it’s something you can’t argue that your problem server is unable to connect to your mysql server. It’s not a fivem or esx issue, it’s a mysql connection issue. Double check your connecting info in your server.cfg and if you can’t connect with the proper connection credentials, contact your host to find out why.
Well it is connecting cause anything else works like items inventory etc. It’s also a home hosted server
Well, I’m not going to argue with you about the problem. From your log file you provided:
[ script:mysql-async] e[0m[mysql-async] [ERROR] connect ETIMEDOUT
[ script:oxmysql] Error: Unable to establish a connection to the database! [ETIMEDOUT]
[ script:oxmysql] connect ETIMEDOUT
Fix it or don’t, I’m out.
But I mean it’s so weird because it worked after I created the server than suddely it didn’t. I thought it was because I added some maps but I removed those it was still happening. I also tried to remove the custom clothes I just added and it didn’t do much either
