Three easy, FAST-REPLY questions re: MySQLGUI

2002-07-18 Thread Andy Fields

Folks,

On my FreeBSD UNIX/Apache virtual private server (ISP is NTT/Verio), I
have MySQL-3.23.49 installed with one empty database and password
created to get me started.

My desktop box is Windows XP Pro.

I've already downloaded and installed MyODBC 3.51.03 (full package/docs)
and my MS MDAC is equivalent to version 2.7 RTM (2.20.7713.4), according
to Microsoft's little self-tester utility.

So far, the ONLY problem I'm having is with my DSN Configuration with
the MyODBC 3.51.03 driver as revealed in the following popup message:

[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver] Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost'
(10061)

I know there are SEVERAL OTHER installation/configuration chores to
complete before I enjoy the wonders of MySQL.

Hence...my downloading MySQLGUI to tackle those chores more effectively
in combination with reading the ~!@#$% manuals over and over and over.

MY THREE QUESTIONS...finally...

1. I notice in my Windows Registry and the odbc.ini file that references
to
   myodbc3 are preceded by TWO--sometimes THREE--back slashes like the
   sample below...

Driver32=C:\WINDOWS\System32\\\myodbc3.dll

   For whatever technical reasons that multiple back slashes ARE
required,
   HOW MANY should be present before the myodbc file references?

   ___ Only 1 back slash is required.

   ___ back slashes ARE required.


To compile MySQLGUI to help me easily access/configure/use MySQL on a
FreeBSD Unix/Apache server from Windows XP Pro (dial-up)...

2.  WHICH of the following items  3. In WHAT order do I 
MUST I download (i.e., x_YES)? ..and theninstall/configure
them?

   1st  2nd  3rd  4th  5th  6th
7th

Sounds like you forgot to fill in the hostname of the FreeBSD box in
your DSN configuration, and the XP machine is trying to connect to a
server on itself.

At least one :)  Multiple slashes or backslashes in a path (barring the
\\server\ notation for win32 UNC paths) are always silently compressed
to a single one.

Gah.  The wordwrapping on this form is so mangled I cannot bring
myself to even quote it (The 7 column is wrapped, just like them in
the paragraph I quoted).  Download the win32 static binary.
