Hello guys.

i am using levels ranks plugin on my CS:GO server.
plugin link : https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=318782

plugin is using sqlite by default
i wanna change sqlite to mysql so i added the following codes to Database.cfg file.

"levels_ranks"
{
		"driver"		"mysql"
		"host"			"localhost"
		"database"		"lvl_ranks"
		"user"			"my_username"
		"pass"			"my_password"
}

after adding this to my cfg file plugin wont work,
also i added lvl_ranks database to phpmyadmin but still no tables.

plugin cant work because its not connected to mysql server.

i have a wordpress test project that is connected to mysql and is working correctly :

define( 'DB_NAME', 'wordpress' );
define( 'DB_USER', 'my_username' );
define( 'DB_PASSWORD', 'my_password' );
define( 'DB_HOST', 'localhost' );
define( 'DB_CHARSET', 'utf8mb4' );

+ i tried this for host too :

"host" "localhost/phpmyadmin"

finally i found the problem:

in phpmyadmin user settings i changed Authentication plugin from SHA256 password authentication to Native MYSQL authentication and it fixed everything.
