DBD::mSQL won't install
I'm using a RAQ3 and CPAN to install the DBI drivers but it's having some major problems... if you've got a fix, let me know. Off to check the Cobalt usergroups...

----------------------------------------------
Which drivers do you want to install?

1) MySQL only
2) mSQL only (either of mSQL 1 or mSQL 2)
3) MySQL and mSQL (either of mSQL 1 or mSQL 2)

4) mSQL 1 and mSQL 2
5) MySQL, mSQL 1 and mSQL 2

Enter the appropriate number: [3] 1


Do you want to install the MysqlPerl emulation? You might keep your old
Mysql module (to be distinguished from DBD::mysql!) if you are concerned
about compatibility to existing applications! [n]
Where is your MySQL installed? Please tell me the directory that
contains the subdir 'include'. [/usr/local/mysql]
Which database should I use for testing the MySQL drivers? [test]
On which host is database test running (hostname, ip address
or host:port) [localhost]
User name for connecting to database test? [undef]
Password for connecting to database test? [undef]

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

I just checked the MySQL .pkg and it was supposed to include the DBI modules...

RaQ3-RaQ4-MySQL 3.23.37-1 (8564 Kb) - A MySQL package that includes the server, client, shared files as well as the Perl DBI MySQL modules.

Anyone else have this problem on a RAQ3? Thanks in advance.

Ok, I ran a program that test's the DBI modules and here's what it gave:

[root@www /root]# perl test_dbi.pl
Here's a list of DBI drivers:
ADO
ExampleP
Multiplex
Proxy

Yet the MySQL driver *should* be there since the package is installed, right? Not sure what to do at this point...

Fixed the problem. In case someone searches the forum and finds this... I had been trying to install DBD::mysql by

[root]# perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install DBD::mysql

If I'm understanding this right there are more than one package to install the same driver, but this one I could clearly see was failing because it couldn't make a connection to the test database. It wanted to use root with no password, so the fix was to change the root mySQL password to nothing, install DBD::mysql, and then add the password again. You can read how to do that at http://www.mysql.com/...ault_privileges.html.

... and it installed fine. mysql now shows in the "modules installed" test:

[root@www /root]# perl test_dbi.pl
Here's a list of DBI drivers:
ADO
ExampleP
Multiplex
Proxy
mysql

THIS SUGGESTION WAS MOST HELPFUL! THANK YOU!!!

I had worked on the DBD::mysql install multiple times (15+) and it was always dieing because it could not connect to the mysql server. This recommendation (to remove passwords) cured the problem the very first time!

Thank you!
