I am unable to add MySQL 8.x to my services. I have upgraded to Version 2 of mspControl.
Database (2088, 6/7/2019 9:27 AM, Status: Ok)
Enterprise Server (2.0.0.1023)
Portal (2.0.0.1023)
SRV-XXXX (2.0.0.1023)The process I am doing is add the service to the server:
Then click on the “Add Service” button and then the error is displayed on the screen:
MySQL 8 is installed on this server. I also have the current MySQL ODBC and .NET Connector installed as well.
I am able to go back to the MySQL 5.7 and add the service from there, however I am sure this can’t be possibly correct as version 8.x has some major changes oh how authentication works.
After you click the Add Service button it processes and then goes to the configure service page. Any idea why the version 8.x service doesn’t appear to be working ?
Sent to Developer to check into it.
Wanted to follow up on this. I upgraded to the latest version today and am still unable to add MySQL 8 Servers to my configuration. I get the following error when I try to add the server / service.
The expected version of the software is not found on your server.
As of this post the site reports Last version: 2.0.0.1068 (6/24/2019 2:09 PM)

SRV-XXXX (2.0.0.1117)Thomas,
Thanks for your patients, and Thank you for bringing all of this to our attention. when MySQL was added as a provider it was a slight oversight to all the new features MySQL 8.X has to offer. We are working on bringing all these features current. I am hoping that the provider will be operational Monday, and all new features added within the next week.
We will keep you updated on our progress.

I went ahead and downloaded the current version 1126 for testing. Still unable to connect. Just so that others are aware this is only related to the portal. Local connections from customers and their sites (for example WordPress) work just fine. Thankfully I just have to maintain the current MySQL connections to existing databases.

SRV-XXXX (2.0.0.1145)Thomas, it’s probably a week out from here. Seems the problems with the new provider were larger then we first thought. Rich who is working on it works on the control panel as a hobby – so it’s going at his pace and I wont pressure him because I am grateful for his help. As soon as we got something to show I will post to the forum to let you know.
Thomas,
I am almost finished with the changes to MySQL 8 Provider. I do have a few questions for you.
- Is this a fresh install of MySQL 8.0 or an Upgrade?
- If a fresh install what authentication did you choose, Default or Legacy?
- Are there any other versions of MySQL installed on the server?
I should be checking and testing my changes tonight and tomorrow and will keep you updated.

Good morning Rich,
Thank you for your hard work on this. Please let me know if there is anything you would like for me to try.
Is this a fresh install of MySQL 8.0 or an Upgrade?
- This server was running 5.7. I did a MySQL dump of each database and then completely uninstalled 5.7, deleted the remaining files and folders off the server. Then I did a complete fresh install of MySQL 8.0.16 and restored the MySQL dumps.
If a fresh install what authentication did you choose, Default or Legacy?
- I selected the new default secure method for passwords
Are there any other versions of MySQL installed on the server?
- No this is the only MySQL instance on this server
Try latest and see how far you get. Let us know.
Thomas,
You might run into an issue with users, See here: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/caching-sha2-pluggable-authentication.html .
If you look at your users you need to determine what authentication they are using Since they came from a 5.7 setup but you setup MySQL 8 with default caching_sha2_password, you might have an issue. Maybe using the old password button might work. Also If MySQL 8 is not installed on the same server as the application like ‘localhost’ You will need MySQL setup with SSL or an unencrypted connection that supports password exchange using an RSA key pair. If you need help I’ll be here later tonight.
Good morning everyone,
I am happy to report that this connection issue has been resolved as of the current release of mspControl 2.0.0.1165. Thank you for all your work in getting this resolved. The only remaining issue that I have is the license issue where everything is disabled. But I believe I have another thread about that.
@rich Bailo, I have verified that my clients are not having any issues. I forgot to mention that I created new users and tables then restored the data. This should have prevented the issue you are talking about.
You might run into an issue with users, See here: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/caching-sha2-pluggable-authentication.html .
Thank you for the heads up though, so far I haven’t had any reported connection issues from clients. This issue only affected mspControl Portal.
