I have an error situation that I cannot resolve. I have a number of MySQL DBs on a FreeBSD server and use MyODBC to hook into them via an MS-Access front end. All goes well in that setup. Recently I had a few site migrate to a RedHat server. I set up MySQL on the new server and all went well until I tried to use the MyODBC connect. I get the error "[TCX][MyODBC]Can't connect to MySQL server on 'foo.com' (10061)(#2003)" when I try to link to the MySQL DBs. The ONLY thing I noticed is when I installed MySQL it asked if I wanted to enable TCP/IP connects but it would not allow me to check the box to allow this feature. Upon analysis of the configs here is what I find. FreeBSD (works as desired): version='3.23.37' socket='/tmp/mysql.sock' port='3306' ldflags='' client_libs='-lz -lcrypt -lm ' RedHat (error occurs): version='3.23.36' socket='/tmp/mysql.sock' port='3306' ldflags='' client_libs='-lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm ' Note these line contain the only two differences in the config files. The first is the version of MySQL. The second is the inclusion in the client_libs line "-lnsl" on the NON_working server. Anyone have an idea what is causing the error?
