By installing XAMPP and enabling MySQL and Apache, you can easily create and manage databases via phpMyAdmin. Once a database is created, you can link it to your FiveM server by updating the <code>server.cfg<\/code> file with the appropriate connection details. This setup is essential for running frameworks like QBCore or ESX, allowing your server to store and manage player data and other server configurations.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1280px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-31-1\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/0resmon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/0122.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/0resmon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/0122.mp4\">https:\/\/0resmon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/0122.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To begin setting up your SQL server for FiveM, follow these step-by-step instructions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Download XAMPP<\/strong>: Start by searching for &#8220;XAMPP&#8221; on Google, then go to the official Apache Friends website (the official distributor of XAMPP).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Select and Download<\/strong>: On the website, click the &#8220;Download&#8221; button.
