sql:
enabled: true
database info and creds
primary storage provider: sql

What do I need to do to make that work?

Is there any log file?

**note**: I am not certainprimary storage provider: sql` in my config file is the correct entry.

According to Autorank Info, your primary storage provider is a FlatFile.

In Settings.yml, try it:

`sql:

enabled: true

hostname: localhost:3306

username: root

password: 'YOUR_PASSWORD'

database: autorank

table: autorank`

In primary storage provider: sql remove 'sql' and put mysql

You need config a MySQL server or a PostGre server.

I am certain I had tried the mysql setting in the past, but this time it has worked and the order of some of the related lines in the log has changed.

Many thanks!
