MySQL Backend Capitalization

 
From: "Moshe Katz" <kohenkatz@PROTECTED>

I have been using dada for several years on one server.  I am now migrating it to a different host and I had issues connecting to the MySQL Server.

I received the following error:


install_driver(MySQL) failed: Can't locate DBD/MySQL.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ../../ ../../perllib /sw/lib/perl5/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /sw/lib/perl5 ../../DADA/perllib ./ ../ ../../../ ./../../DADA ../../DADA ../DADA ../DADA/perllib ./DADA ./DADA/perllib ../../../perl ../../../perllib /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/BSDPAN /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.9/mach /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.9 /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/mach /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9 .) at (eval 23) line 3,  line 1.





Perhaps the DBD::MySQL perl module hasn't been fully installed, or perhaps the capitalisation of 'MySQL' isn't right.


Available drivers: CSV, DBM, ExampleP, Excel, File, Gofer, Mock, Proxy, SQLite, SQLite2, Sponge, mysql.


 at /DADA/App/DBIHandle.pm line 163
In my config file, I have the following:
$SUBSCRIBER_DB_TYPE        = 'MySQL';
$ARCHIVE_DB_TYPE           = 'MySQL';
$SETTINGS_DB_TYPE          = 'MySQL';
$SESSION_DB_TYPE           = 'MySQL';

It appears that different servers have the MySQL package installed with different capitalization.  The error message that lists the available database engines has 'mysql' in lowercase.

I tried switching my settings to lower case but now I get a different error from dada:


Base class package "DADA::MailingList::Subscribers::mysql" is empty.


    (Perhaps you need to 'use' the module which defines that package first,


    or make that module available in @INC (@INC contains: ./ ../ ../../ ../../DADA ../../perllib ../DADA ../DADA/perllib ./DADA ./DADA/perllib ../../../perl ../../../perllib /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/BSDPAN /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.9/mach /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.9 /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/mach /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9 .).

Has anyone else had this issue?  What did you do?

If it helps, I am migrating to http://nearlyfreespeech.net/ and they have several successful Dada users already (as per their forums) (although I don't know if any use the MySQL backend.)

Also, does anyone know why the package can have different names?

Thanks.
