Can anyone give me a hand getting extDB3 to connect to mySQL db?

Recommended Posts

so far i have a MySQL database setup(its empty atm) and im just trying to get arma 3 to be able to connect to it but it keeps returning [0, "Database Config Error"](im hinting this out) when i try to connect to it. I would prefer this to be one on one privately, once I get it working properly then i can go on my own without issue but I cant even get started. my steam is https://steamcommunity.com/id/19971997199719981997 if anyones willing to add me to talk about it. thank you.

Is it just the extDB3 config setup you need help with or the code and stuff as well? extDB3 comes with some third party functions which you can use. I personally use MySQL plugin by: @PixeL_GaMMa

extDB3 should be just as easy to setup though. Add me on Steam if you want further help.

hi Gokitty,

 

I recommand you to use OO_extDB3

 

It's an sqf driver over extDB3 dll wich brings all the protocol wich interracts with the dll. A3 life uses a code like that to interracts with the db.

 

It's easier to use oo_EXTDB3 than recode from scratch the whole protocol that is unfortunately mandatory.
