Hello, I’m working on setting up a FiveM server with MySQL and the ES/ESX framework along with a few other things. I’ve got everything set up, and updated to the latest version. MySQL is installed and running and I have the user ‘fivem’ set up with a wildcard host so that localhost vs 127.0.0.1 doesn’t matter. I’ve given the user permissions on the schema for the fivem database, and I’ve run all the .sql files to get the db set up. However, no matter how I set my ‘set mysql_connection_string’ convar, it will not authenticate to the db, and as shown in the screenshot, doesn’t seem to be trying to even use the conn string I’ve given it. (server.cfg says connect to 127.0.0.1 but console error says ‘fivem’ @ ‘localhost’ which doesn’t match.
Any ideas/help or direction would be appreciated thank you.
