Installation in Win98 with Apache
Hi,
I tried to install Links SQL 2.0 in my pc with Win 98 e Apache like DB I use MySql. Before install Links I run Apache, MySQL server but Links SQL Setup an Error Appears...:

Error: Could not connect to database. Reason: DBI module not installed. You must install the perl database module DBI from: http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-module/DBI

what does it mean?
tnx
cheers,

Salvatore

No offence but surely it speaks for itself?

Although as you are on windows you need to install using ppm.

ppm install DBI
ppm install DBD::mysql

I am also having the similar problem.
After installing every possible driver the error is:

Database driver mysql is not installed.
Available drivers: ExampleP,ODBC,Proxy,mysqlPP

I am using:
- Apache 2.0.43-win32-x86-no_ssl
- MySQL -3.23.52-win
- ActiveState's Perl -5.8.0.805-MSWin32-x86


Please be patient, this is my first windows installation

Thanks

You need to run 'ppm install DBD-mysql' from the command prompt.

You need DBD::MySQL, not the pure perl library.

I would recommend downgrading perl to 5.6.1 until Activestate comes out with a DBD-Mysql package. You can grab 5.6.1 at:

Thanks for helping me.

Oh my God - it's working! WinkWinkWinkWinkWink


I downloaded this file

http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/6xx-builds-only/DBD-Mysql.zip

to my hard drive and installed it.


Thanks for help!
