If off then how to on.

Answer 1

For ubuntu :

• Once you are connected to your VPS via SSH, please try connecting to your mysql with "root"

user: mysql -u root -p

• Enter "root" user password and you will be in the mysql environment (mysql>), then simply check what is sql_mode, with the following command:

  SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'sql_mode';

Basically, you will see the table as your result, if the table has a value of STRICT_TRANS_TABLES, it means that this option is enabled, so you need to remove the value from this table with the following command:

set global sql_mode='';

This will set your table's value to empty and disable this setting. Like this:

 +---------------+-------+
 | Variable_name | Value |
 +---------------+-------+
 | sql_mode      |       |
 +---------------+-------+

Please make sure to perform these commands within the MySQL environment and not simply via SSH. I think this moment was missed in the article provided below and the author assumes that the reader understands it intuitively.
