FiveM error ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.0:3306

If you got this error:

Then you did not setup the mysql_connection_string right. The database IP can never be 127.0.0.1

To fix this:

1. Open your server.cfg

2. Create a database if you did not do that yet and save/remember the database details. How to create a database

3. In the mysql_connection_string, add te following behind this:

• server= add the IP of your MySQL server (You can find this under the tab databases in you control panel)
• uid= add the username of your mysql database
• password= add the password of your mysql database
• database= add the name of your database

The new mysql_connection_string should be something like this:

set mysql_connection_string "server=151.80.54.190;uid=userhere;password=passwordhere;database=s1_databasename"
