"Database connection could not be established"

[BigBoomer07]

Hello, I've been trying to get fivepd to run on my fivem server I use iceline for my host. I finally got it to load up, until it goes to connect to the database which then it says that my port may be wrong. I have checked multiple times and I have found the same port every time (3306) so I'm at a loss does anyone have any pointers to help this issue? thank you. p.s. I'm sending this question out at 1pm est I get off work at 8pm est so I will review and reply once I'm back at my desk.

You may also want to try switching to sqlite if your using the 1.2 release.

Hello,

 

I have used Iceline services before & have been an employee with them previously so I may be able to help a little better than others. Here are a few possible solutions to your issue:

 

1) Ensure your database details are correct in the 'config.json' file. Ensure that the IP address and port numbers are correct.

2) Check that your database password doesn't contain any special characters (&, %, $ etc.) This is what has caused many problems for me in the past.

 

This error means that FivePD is simply unable to connect to the database. If these solutions dont work, I would recommend contacting their support team for further assistance.
