MySQL Configuration
Only use this process if you are installing your website on a remote server from your game server. You already configured this for the game server, if this is a Local Server install, skip this step.
Secure your installation of MySQL, it’s recommended to disable root remote access, turn off anonymous users and delete the test database. Choose either Low or Medium security when installing the database. I chose medium for this tutorial and then modified the settings to the standards I desire, which did not include special characters.
Execute the following command on your server.
sudo mysql_secure_installation |
