ExileServer - MySQL Error: Unable to locate extDB2 extension!

[Sydney 3]

This is driving my nuts! I've tried setting up my private server for hours, wasted my whole day on this and no fix.

I've searched everywhere.

- Restarted my PC.

- Installed the vcredist both 86 and 64 atleast three times.

- My extDB2.dll is in the @exileserver modfolder.

- Set sql-mode to "" in my.ini

- * Unblocked extDB2.dll

* Edited

I have a mysql 5.7 server up and running.

Here is the error:

Spoiler

23:06:24 "ExileServer - Server is loading..."
23:06:24 Client: Nonnetwork object 22bd3a00.
23:06:24 "ExileServer - MySQL connection error!"
23:06:24 "ExileServer - Please have a look at @ExileServer/extDB/logs/ to find out what went wrong."
23:06:24 "ExileServer - MySQL Error: Unable to locate extDB2 extension!"
23:06:24 "ExileServer - Server will shutdown now :("

by the way, there is nothing in \logs\

Even when I put some random values to the ip in the extdb-conf.ini it still gives me the error. please help!

They are using the new version of extDB

And I can assume you are using the tbbmalloc.dll that came with ExileServer 0.9.4?

What they didn't tell you is go download the latest C++ redstributable for visual basic (2015) from here:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145

I installed both x86bit and x64bit and my problem went away

Ye I already did it and it didn't work (vcredit). W

I simply installed a fresh server using S.'s tutorial - everything is perfect now and I havent run into any trouble ever since!

Thank you, I unblocked it but the problem still continues. I don't know what could be causing this

In extdb-conf

set your :

[exile]
Type = MySQL
Name = exile (name your DB)
Username = changeme (name your DB)
Password = (DB Password)
IP = 127.0.0.1 (IP DB)
Port = 3306 (Port DB)

Are you sure it is supposed to be my DB's name? I put it to root with the root password 1234

By the way, the local mysql server I put to this server doesn't have anything in its logs about incoming connections from the server. So the server doesn't even try connecting - the problem occurs beforehand.

Try using the old tbbmalloc.dll from 0.9.35 message me if you dont have the file.

Im embarrassed to say this but when i set up so i can run a dedicated server on my client for some quick testing the other day, i actually forgot to add tbbmalloc.dll to my arma 3 folder all together , took me a while to realize =). Threw the exact same error as Sydney got.
