There are various plugins that I want to install, but I can't because they require a SQL database. I already have a MySQL database set up on my web server for my Minecraft server, but how do I tell my server to use it? I have heard of sqlconnecter.jar or something like that, but, where do I get it, how do I install it, and how do I configure it? Please make your replies as clear as possible.
Most MySQL compatible plugins automatically come with myswl connectors, all you have to do is fill in your MySQL information in teh plugins config file.
Did you get this working? I'm having the same problem of not really knowing how to set it up. My web server uses MySQL but I can't get my game server to connect to it because it's only accessible via cPanel. So how the hell do you set up one that the game server can use?
No I can remote access it, didn't know how at the time, but I actually got it working and have now reverted to using SQLite, the speed increase with MySQL is negligible and it's a pain having to link to another server for it.
use @alta189 's MySQL library. there is a tutorial on it too it works amazingly. I use it in almost everyone of my plugins
