MySQL Databases#
The current plan configuration includes MySQL Database on Performance and Unlimited MySQL on Enterprise. Confirm the feature in the billing portal and server panel for your subscription.
Create a database#
When the server panel shows a Databases section:
- Open that section for the server that will use the database.
- Create a database with a purpose-specific name.
- Reveal the connection values generated for that database.
- Store the password in the plugin configuration or secret mechanism required by that plugin.
Configure a plugin#
Copy every connection value from the database entry shown in the panel:
| Plugin setting | Source |
|---|---|
| Host or address | Database entry in the panel |
| Port | Database entry in the panel |
| Database name | Database entry in the panel |
| Username | Database entry in the panel |
| Password | Database entry in the panel |
Do not substitute a fixed private address, a value from another server, or an example credential. Plugin field names and supported database drivers are defined by the plugin's own documentation.
Troubleshooting#
- Recopy the host, port, database name, and username from the same database entry.
- Reset the database password in the panel and update the plugin configuration when credentials may have been exposed.
- Confirm the plugin supports the database type offered by the panel.
- Review the plugin log for the exact connection error before changing network or pool settings.
If the database section or required action is unavailable, email support@qualitynode.net with the server identifier. Do not send the database password.
