Thanks again for your help! I traced it back to using the updated xampp program which was giving me errors with connecting. I went with a older version and it is up and running now.
Thanks, I’ll be sure to do an updated video. What version of xampp are you using?
The one you picked in your video. I was going with the one on the very bottom 7.3.6, but then tried the one you went with (7.1.30) and no more errors. So I would say your video is still spot on with fixing the errors. 
I have this error:

How to add player’s id to the service call(ems,police,taxi)
Please help me.
I got this on the console:
[vRP] DB driver "ghmattimysql" not initialized yet (39 prepares cached, 5 queries cached).
Could not open resource metadata file C:/FiveM-Server\server-data/resources//mysql-async/__resource.lua.
Found new resource runcode in C:/FiveM-Server\server-data/resources//runcode
Found new resource vrp in C:/FiveM-Server\server-data/resources//vrp
Resource loading for vrp failed:
Could not open resource metadata file C:/FiveM-Server\server-data/resources//vrp/__resource.lua.
And of course the installation information on the github of vRP is also weird. It gives you a folder called “vRP” and it needs vrp as resource.
Could not be happier, even vRP (or how do you call it… vRP2 now these days) gives errors on a clean install. Why i kinda knew this would happening. Ah well… it’s always the same shit over and over again. No wonder there is no server that runs good. They all have errors.
To me its a big headache. So like i said before. have fun guys. i am out.
Congrats @Imagic On Debian 9 work flawless. Thanks to @Colormeblind i was able to install it quick and with no significant errors. If someone has a smartphone working version, please share. Happy playing!
How can I solve this ?
Hello everyone.
I found this vRP 2 and I decided to upload the server, but I have received the following message on the console (see image): I already did everything I found here and it does not solve: I try to enter the game and I get the message “vrp: checking identifiers…” and it does not go away. Could someone tell me what else I can do to solve it?
Note: I have another server in vrp 1, running normally on localhost.
Thank you!
have you found a way to do it ?
Anyone know how to put vrp 64 slots?
Thanks.
As a quick workaround follow this:
First make sure loading order are correct as an example of server.cfg
Also make sure GHMattiMySQL it stays at root of resources folder.
Preview ->
It’s not necessary to run GHMattiMySQL vrp_ghmattimysql runs it for you. If you are getting a warning then you haven’t set up vrp correctly. There is a perfectly good setup video in the comments. https://youtu.be/YY3VpLKHGYQ 21
Thanks for reply, i’ve edited my post so i will not confuse other users.
Dope video!
Hello, can someone help me to find where to edit map blips? I tried to edit blip Id and color from the files located in vrp/cfg but the blips still remain the same on the map, maybe they must be edited from another .lua file? Thanks
can someone help me, i add cars to the server they load fine if i spawn via the admin menu but when adding to the “groupls” file all my garage blips disaper
Anyone know how to enable Wanted stars? Have deleted the threads in police.lua but still sticks to 0 when crimes are committed.
vRP uses the star system to detect crimes and put custom gps points on the map for cops to follow
