Hi all, I am trying to connect to my mysql database with a perl script...
I can connect from commnad line both passing a password or at password prompt...
I can connect successfully with the following line in my script..
my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=mysql;host=localhost", "root", "password",
{'RaiseError' =>1});
But the following line fails.. with a Memory fault but no core dump
my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=mysql;host=localhost" .
";mysql_read_default_file=$ENV{HOME}/.my.cnf", $user, $password);
DBI->trace(9); outputs the following
imp_dbh->mysql_dr_connect: host = localhost, port =0, uid = NULL, pwd = NULL
.my.cnf file looks like...
[client]
user=root
password=passwd
Any ideas or anything blatenly obvious as to what is wrong?
Thanks,
Taylor
