How It Affects Your App

MySQL 1721 ER_PLUGIN_NO_INSTALL has a direct impact on the application as it prevents the plugin from being installed. This can lead to the application not being able to access the database, or not being able to perform certain operations.

How To Fix

1. Check the error log for the MySQL 1721 error. This can be done by running the following command:
mysql> SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'log_error';
2. Check the MySQL configuration file for any misconfigurations. This can be done by running the following command:
mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%config_file%';
3. Check the MySQL server status to see if the server is running. This can be done by running the following command:
mysql> SHOW GLOBAL STATUS;
4. Check the MySQL server version to ensure it is up to date. This can be done by running the following command:
mysql> SELECT VERSION();
5. Check the MySQL server privileges to ensure the user has the correct permissions. This can be done by running the following command:
mysql> SHOW GRANTS FOR CURRENT_USER;
6. Check the MySQL server connections to ensure there are no conflicts. This can be done by running the following command:
mysql> SHOW PROCESSLIST;
7. As a final step, it is recommended to use an automated database observability tool to monitor and fix the MySQL 1721 in question.
