Hi, i want to know how i can fix the error for the mysql option, i'm trying to connect it to a mysql server version less than 5.7 and i get this:

[2019-08-04 11:40:55] [INFO] GEN | Upgrading database from version -1 to 10. This could take a moment!
[2019-08-04 11:40:58] [ERROR] GEN | SQL Error: Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes
[2019-08-04 11:40:58] [CRITICAL] GEN | Could not initialize SQL!
[2019-08-04 11:40:58] [CRITICAL] GEN | Could not setup SQL table indexes! Command 'CREATE INDEX `idx_general_key` ON `general` (`key`);' returns sql: CREATE INDEX `idx_general_key` ON `general` (`key`); returned -> -1/Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes
[2019-08-04 11:40:58] [INFO] GEN | Stopping application
[2019-08-04 11:40:58] [INFO] GEN | Application suspend successful!

I have a database with version higher than 5.7 but it uses cpanel, so the database name and users contains a "_", and i can't use the mysql:// url with a "_" inside of it because it throws and error on start

"Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes" it seems like there is a mysql limit which prevents that stuff.
Ever goggled if its possible to increase this limit?

I already tried searching on google and can't find a fix, i can only fix if i know how to use the mysql:// url with "_" inside of it

"%5F" thats interesting....
Seems like for some reason there is some URL escaping...

EDIT: Has you may typed "test%5Fts3"? Because the host is in general not URL escaped :D

mysql://****:3306/test_teamspeak?userName=test_ts3&password=****&connections=8

@M4T14SG4M3R in your case with the problem

Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes
Add in your mysql config file after [mysqld] the following options:
Code:
[mysqld]
innodb_large_prefix=true
innodb_file_format=barracuda
innodb_file_per_table=1
If you use mariadb the config is 50-server.cnf in /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/
And in normal mysql the config is my.cnf in /etc/mysql

(I did the service mysqld restart and still didn't worked)

The fastest way is over phpmyadmin but if you prefer to do it over the command line than you can use google how to see and set the collation

---- Automatically Merged Double Post ----

The command to see the databse collation is the following.

USE databasename;
SELECT @@character_set_database, @@collation_database;

And than use this command
ALTER DATABASE <database_name> CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;

Well I don't think that is is related to the password.
MySQL in general wants to have a fixed length column type.

My guess it that the column `values` in the general table should be created with something longer than the allowed maximum.
The maximum could be changed. Maybe google the error message.

Test add in my.cnf

[mysqld]
innodb_file_per_table=1
innodb_large_prefix=1
innodb_file_format=Barracuda

and restart mysql server
