❌ Troubleshooting

MySQL 8.0.27 and MariaDB 11.4+ If ARK Guardian is failing to start with "Failed to open connection" error, you might need to disable SSL on your servers, as this is causing connectivity issues.

  1. Stop your SQL server.

  2. Find my.ini file at "C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0"

  3. Add ssl=0 or ssl=false under [mysqld] of my.ini

  4. Start your SQL server back and ARK Guardian should connect correctly.

You could also install recommended versions as MySQL 8.0.20 or MariaDB 11.3
