Troubleshooting
Solve common installation problems without losing your existing resource settings or database records.
Resource will not start
Confirm that the folder contains fxmanifest.lua at its root. Verify the name used in your ensure command exactly matches the installed folder name. Start framework and database dependencies first.
ensure oxmysql
ensure vorp_core
ensure rr_lawbook
The example above applies to Frontier Lawbook.
Missing tables or SQL errors
Check the product README for a fresh-install SQL file and version-specific migrations. Back up the database before applying changes. Do not repeatedly run destructive SQL or drop existing tables to resolve an upgrade error.
The UI does not appear
Confirm the resource starts successfully and that your character meets its job/role permissions. For Frontier Lawbook, the documented command is /lawbook.
The UI works but buttons fail
Open the F8 client console and the server console; copy the complete error messages and note which action produced them. Ensure the correct resource version is installed on both client and server.
