Some plugins and mods keep their data in a MySQL database, for example Oxide plugins on Rust, ESX on FiveM or LuckPerms on Minecraft. Each server includes one MySQL database. The Databases tab says how many yours includes.
- Sign in to the control panel at panel.chicagoservers.co and open your server.
- Open the Databases tab.
- Under Name, type a name for the database (letters, numbers and underscores). The panel puts your account's prefix in front of it.
- Click Create database.
- Copy the Host, Port, Database, Username and Password into your plugin's or mod's config. Click Show or Copy next to the password.
- Restart the server so the plugin connects with the new details.
Managing it
- Open phpMyAdmin opens phpMyAdmin in a new tab, where you can sign in with the database's username and password to run SQL or import a file. This is for advanced users.
- Reset password gives the database a new password. Put the new one in your plugin's config. If the same username has your other databases too, the new password applies to them as well.
- Delete database deletes it and all its data.
Databases in the menu on the left lists all your databases, across your servers.
A database brought over from the old panel may say its password is Not known to this panel. Click Reset password to get a new one.
No Databases tab? Your plan doesn't include a database, or (for a sub-user) you don't have the Databases permission. Open a support ticket if you need one.
