RE: FN-FORUM MySQL ODBC on Unix

A really common error when dealing with databases. I think you'll need to
use something like the following:

"driver={MySQL};server=localhost;uid=username;pwd=password;database=database
"

Let me know how you get on

Cheers

Subject: FN-FORUM MySQL ODBC on Unix



Hello All

I can currently connect to a Mysql database on my local machine, a windows
o/s. However, when I try and do this on unix - get the error:

Vbscript Runtime error 'ASP 0185 : -2147467259'
Data source name not found or no default driver specified

include/dbconnectcrop.asp,line 11


Line 11 is the where I am opening the connection. I feel that I have not
matched the driver name. Is the driver MyODBC called something different
on Unix, other than MySQL. Below is my conenction string.



Thanks for any help

Frankie
