Common Errors and Solutions

  1. Connection Timeout Troubleshooting
    • Solution: Increase the connectTimeout or acquireTimeout in the configuration options to handle long-running connection setups. Make sure the database is reachable from your application.
  2. Authentication Failures
    • Solution: Verify that the provided username and password are correct, and that the user has the necessary permissions to access the specified database. Use a MySQL client to manually confirm the credentials.
  3. SSL Certificate Issues
    • Solution: Ensure the correct paths for SSL certificates are provided if ssl is enabled. Verify that the certificates match the MySQL server’s configuration.
  4. Database Permissions Problems
    • Solution: Ensure that the database user has the required READ and WRITE permissions for the config_store table. Use the following SQL command to grant permissions:
    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON config_store.* TO 'your_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
