How do you create a database on the gamepanel?

Setting up a database inside your game server panel is essential for storing player data, configurations, and other important game-related information. A well-structured database improves server performance and helps maintain organized records for game operations. This guide will walk you through the process of creating a database step by step, ensuring your server runs smoothly and efficiently.

Step 1: Creating a Database

To begin setting up a database for your game server, navigate to the "Database" tab inside your GamePanel.

Once you're in the Database section:

• Locate the "New Database" button.

• Click on it to initialize a new database for your server.

Step 2: Naming and Creating Your Database

After selecting "New Database", you'll be prompted to enter a Database Name. Choose a recognizable name for easy identification within your game server settings. Additionally, you have the option to restrict connections to a specific IP address. However, in most cases, this field is left blank, allowing all necessary connections to function smoothly. Once you've entered the database name and adjusted any settings, press the "Create Database" button. This will generate your database, making it ready for further configuration and integration with your game server.

Step 3: Managing Your Database & Retrieving Credentials

Now that your database is created, let's explore the essential management functions and how to retrieve its credentials.

Inside the database panel, you’ll find several options:

• phpMyAdmin – Open the database directly in phpMyAdmin for advanced management.

• Import from SQL – Upload an SQL file to populate your database.

• Export as SQL – Save the database as an SQL file for backups or transfers.

• Clear Data – Remove all stored data including tables while keeping the database.

• Delete Database – Completely remove the database from your game server.

Clicking on the Container provides access to critical credentials such as:

• Endpoint
• Database name
• Username
• Password
• Connection string

These details are necessary for linking your database to your game server and ensuring seamless operation.

If you encounter issues while creating a database in your Game Server Panel, consider the following solutions:

• Verify the database name – Ensure that the database name follows the required format and doesn’t contain restricted characters.

• Check connection settings – If you restricted access to a specific IP, confirm the correct IP is entered, or leave it blank for broader access.

• Restart your server – Sometimes, restarting the server helps apply the changes properly.

• Ensure the database appears in the panel – If the database is missing, refresh the panel or check if it was saved correctly.

• Retrieve correct credentials – If your database connection fails, make sure you're using the right endpoint, database name, username, password, and/or connection string found in the container.

• Use the correct management tool – Some databases work better with specific clients like phpMyAdmin, MySQL Workbench, or HeidiSQL.
