# Troubleshooting

## Bot does not start

* Verify `config.discremy.js` exists in the project root
* Start the bot from the same directory as the config file
* Check CLI preflight output for the failing check

## Missing optional dependency

If you enabled a module, install the matching package:

```bash
npm i @discremy/mongodb
npm i @discremy/mysql
```

## MongoDB enabled but connection fails

* Confirm `modules.mongodb.uri` and `modules.mongodb.name`
* Confirm MongoDB is reachable from your machine
* Check credentials and any network allowlist

## MySQL enabled but connection fails

* Confirm `modules.mysql.host`, `modules.mysql.user`, and `modules.mysql.database`
* Verify `port`, `password`, and server access
* Test with a direct MySQL client to isolate the issue

## Loader notices about missing folders

Messages about optional command folders are informational.

Create those folders only if your bot uses those command types.
