I'm trying to deploy on a Windows XP laptop a solution I know is
working on my Mac. I'm using FMP as a user-friendly front-end to a
MySQL database on a remote server.
Everything works OK on the Mac (first on the localhost and then on
the target server), and I checked for feasibility using a simple FMP
file on the same Windows machine with the remote server before
spending time developing this solution. I didn't think I'd changed
any relevant settings on that laptop since then.
I connect to the remote server using SSH tunneling (using PuTTY on
the Windows system) because direct connexion of off-site tools is
prohibited by the site where the server lives. However, when I now
try to connect from the developed FMP file on the Windows XP machine
to the MySQL database I'm getting an error message I've not seen
before, and I'm at a loss to know what's causing it.
"ODBC Error: [MySQL][ODBC 5.1 Driver]Can't connect to MySQL server on
'localhost' (10061)".
I know the connexion from the Windows machine to the server is OK as
I can use the GUI MySQL Admin tool from it.
That seems to suggest that the problem must be in the ODBC driver.
But when I configure the ODBC driver in Windows and hit the test
button it comes back with OK.
None of the relevant help systems seems to offer error numbers in the
range of this one.
Anyone got any ideas? I am working a bit in the dark here as I am
basically a Mac person.
regards
Rowland
