Hi Guys,

I need help, I've got an error message when I first time install Links SQL 2.0.1
My error message is:

Links SQL Install: Error - No DBI module

Links SQL requires two perl modules to be installed prior to setup: DBI and DBD::driver, where driver is the name of your database you plan to use. Example: for MySQL you need DBD::mysql, for MS SQL 7, you need DBD::ODBC.

You can locate these modules at:

http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-module/DBD/

The exact error message reported was:

Can't locate loadable object for module DBI in @INC (@INC contains: /home/bline/projects/library C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/lib .) at C:/Perl/site/lib/DBI.pm line 182 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Perl/site/lib/DBI.pm line 182. Compilation failed in require at d:/cgi-bin/links/install.cgi line 796.

I'm work on my computer at home with these specification:
Operating System : Windows 98
Server : Apache 1.3.14
MySQL : 3.23.22-beta

I need help how to install DBI and DBD driver, because after I download DBI and DBD module and install it like what I read in readme page, I've got error messages too.

I'm sorry for my poor english.
Thank's for your kind attentions and help.

Regards,
Deska Lea Affif.

Hi,

You must not have installed the modules properly. Use Activestates port of perl and use `ppm install DBI` to install DBI and `ppm install DBD::mysql` to install the mysql driver.

Cheers,

Alex

Hi Alex,

Has something changed between 2.1.0 and version 2.1.2 that would make it suddenly not recognise the drivers that are installed?

I'm getting the same error for some reason when trying to do a new install of 2.1.2, but I have 2.1.0 running on it fine.


Thanks,
Regan.
