Guide for connecting RoK to a database?

Hello Community,

Sorry for the noobish question but everyone starts from somewhere.
I want to be able to run the plugin "Survival essentials", however from my understanding you need to have your plugin/server connected to a database. How would one go about doing that? I have searched forums, other sites didn't really find what I was looking for.

I am familiar with MYSQL just not connecting a server to it. I know its weird lol.
I want to know if anyone has a guide that will instruct me on going along with this process
both on my own local server and if I hosted a server from a outside source.

Thanks for the consideration and the time you took to read this.

you need to have a mssql setup then in the survival essentials cs file open it up with visual studio edit the database information with your own e.g your server host name port user and pass then upload the database file and should be good to go btw do you have the database file for survival essentials

 

Thank you for the help! And no I don't have the database, is there a site to download it or a clean version of it lying around somewhere?

Thanks

MySql and MSSql are 2 completely different things. You will not be able to run this setup on a shared host like gameservers. If you rent a windows vps from a hosting company or run the server at home then you can do this. I have no knowledge of MSSql but in the plugin discussion someone mentioned it runs locally on the same machine as the server not a remote connection.
