Manual MySQL Installation
Updated on: May 08, 2026
The MySQL database contains all the dynamic content, such as plant symbols and irrigation components, on the Land F/X server for Local Data users.
Multi-User Land F/X with Local Data (MySQL) is officially deprecated.
We've officially deprecated Local Data (MySQL) installs as of May 2026. For optimal Land F/X performance, we recommend switching to Cloud Data.
Be aware that if you have IPV6 enabled on your server, workstations or network, it's important to ensure your DNS is configured correctly or you could see increasingly long connection times to your database. We recommend disabling IPV6 if not needed.
Here's how to perform a manual installation of the MySQL database:
1. Install MySQL server on the system intended to host your database.
2. Create the database landfx
3. Create the user ODBC and grant all permissions on landfx to that user.
4. Create a firewall exception for port 3306 for database traffic.
