Mysql driver not found
I move my domain to another server

I get an error when I try to run setup.cgi

Error: Datbaase driver mysql is not installed. Available drivers: ADO,ExampleP,Multiplex,Proxy

Which driver? My new provider told me he has installed DBI::DBD

Hi,

You don't have DBD::mysql installed (which means you may not have mysql installed). Double check with your ISP..

Cheers,

Alex

Hi,

Your ISP is wrong. In order for any perl script to interact with your MySQL database, it needs two modules to be installed: DBI and DBD::mysql. Without those, your script won't be able to connect.

What he is talking about is you connecting to your database from your own personal computer using Access or something similiar.

Cheers,

Alex
