Glad to help :) -----Original Message----- From: David Coley [mailto:davidcoley@home.com] Sent: Monday, February 26, 2001 9:19 PM To: dbi-users@perl.org Subject: RE: Using DBI when MySQL is on another server Hey guys I would just like to say thanks... Rinke and Steve both remind my thick skull that athough the damon is on a differnt machine I still need to install the mysql client on the app machine (doh). Just goes to show you... there's always something you forget.

For Oracle at least, you need to have the Oracle client already installed on the same machine where you install DBD::Oracle. This is because the installation needs some header files from the Oracle client. It's probably the same with MySQL: although the MySQL server is on remote machine, you need a client on the local machine. I hope that helps, at least to rephrase your question to make it understandable for the experts. -ren ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Coley" <davidcoley@home.com> To: <dbi-users@perl.org> Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2001 10:58 AM Subject: RE: Using DBI when MySQL is on another server > >From the two responces I've gotten back, I know I didn't phrase this right. > > My problem is when I get to the point: > > Where is your MySQL installed?
