install error for me too errrr......
Gosh Darn it, I finally want to get on my hosting service and I get this error after having problems with /pages and /cgi permissions. Now I t get this.

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

What in the blazes is this supposed to mean? ummm, the host I'm on have this called cpanel or in thier terminology imanager. It's similar to links in the idea that everything can be accessed from one frameset. ftp/teminal/mysql through phpMyAdmin and what not.

sure I went ahead and created the tables with a dump off my homebox and got the tables in but I'm still no further......


wrrrr....... wrrrrerer...... helll I can't even write errr..... properly :-(

Means that the appropriate DBD mysql driver is not installed in the server where your account is hosted.

Ask your hosting company to install the following COMLETE modules:

DBD
DBI

specify that you need the mysql driver installed.

If you want to see a complete list of modules installed in your account (never fully trust your hosting company), use the following script:

In Reply To:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
#
#############################################################
# File Name: modules.cgi
# Written by Widgetz, Jerry, Gossamer Threads Scripts User
# Last Modified: November 08,1999
#############################################################

use strict;
use File::Find;
my (@mod, %done, $dir);
find(\&get, grep { -r and -d } @INC);
@mod = grep(!$done{$_}++, @mod);
foreach $dir (sort { length $b <=> length $a } @INC) {
foreach (@mod) { next if s,^\Q$dir,,; }
}
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
foreach (@mod) { s,^/(.*)\.pm$,$1,; s,/,::,g; print "$_
\n"; }
print "Done! ($#mod modules!)\n\n";
sub get { /^.*\.pm$/ && /$ARGV[0]/i && push @mod, $File::Find::name; }


Save the file as modules.cgi...make sure that you use the correct Perl path, and chmod 755....

You will see a complete list of modules...

wow!!!

hehe godda try this, even on my own box, would be fun just to see how much I've installed and not.

Actually, my host guy fessed up and admitted that screwed up -- great guy who never gives me the run around if you pester a bit. :-)

He actually had mod_perl installed just for me too. yahoo.

:-( only thing is that what does it really do ???

I hope it won't slow his system down or anything like, since I've got a pretty goor report going on with this guy.

thanks Alex

Actually, mod_perl will speed up your data processing, reduce cycles and CPU usage.

For more information, search this forum for mod_perl, and you will see many Threads where this has been discussed. Another alternative to mod_perl is SpeedyCGI.

Hi,

To confirm Links SQL is running under mod_perl, go to Setup->Environment and make sure you see:

mod_perl (1)

If not, then it's not running under mod_perl.

OOOPPPSSS,

sorry Elliot didn't mean to do that, I saw the "A" in "AnthroRules" and made the mistake.

thanks alex, for correcting me :-)

ahhh, I thought my guy installed the modules.

Is this the right place to recommend?

http://search.cpan.org/doc/JWIED/DBD-mysql-2.0901/lib/Bundle/DBD/mysql.pm

Or am I way off?
