Hi Folks, Can anyone provide a basic set of installation and configuration steps for ProxySQL, ive been going round and round in cicles with the product docs today trying to get it running. After installation I cannot even login as admin! I am trying to setup a three node cluster where proxy will sit between my application and my 2 DB Servers. TIA Mike ---
