conf/global/sql_connection.conf:1 - syntax error

[Vermithore 0]

I am having the same problem as this topic.

 

I used the mariaDB.bat

 

and my conf/global/sql_connection.conf ended up having this.

 

sql_connection: {
    db_username: "hercules"
    db_password: "***"
    db_database: "hercules"
}

 

I updated the file to be the same as the one on github

	// and you have localhost, switch it to 127.0.0.1

	db_port: "3306"
	db_username: "hercules"
	db_password: "******"
	db_database: "hercules"
	//codepage:""
}

I am db name and username appears to be correct as i'm able to connect through mysql workbench.

Check the error in console.

Post your sql_connection with user/password removed, or check syntax yourself. Might be missing something, or unknown symbols somewhere.

Hi @Dastgir,

 

I already posted my sql_connection.conf on my initial post.

First the first one was auto generated after running mariaDB.bat

 

The second one was after I start troubleshooting and used the one on repository and editing my db info

I have the same problem exactly, tried to edit my sql_connection.conf like Vermithore did and nothingI have the same problem exactly, tried to edit my sql_connection.conf like Vermithore did and nothing

 

 

Here is my file and login-server console

this error mean you conf file corrupted

probably you using wrong text editor

try use editor what can show BOM char and also try not use windows end lines.

in other words get original file and edit it with safe editor.
