Creating and Managing MySQL Databases

Create a database

1. Open your server in Calagopus and go to Databases.
2. Select Create, enter a name and choose an available MySQL-compatible host.
3. After creating it, open the database menu and select Details.
4. Copy the database name, host, port, username and password into your plugin or application's configuration.
5. Save the configuration and restart the application to test the connection.

Always use the host shown in Calagopus. localhost and 127.0.0.1 will not work when the database is hosted elsewhere.

Passwords, limits and backups

Changing the database password immediately invalidates the old one, so update every application using it.

If no database host is available or you have reached your plan's limit, contact support.

Deleting or recreating a database permanently removes its data. Export it first. Game server file backups do not include external databases.
