Re: MySQL/MariaDB DBD install problem

[Marshall]

Please show your code for connecting to the DB. Should be something like this for mysql:

use strict;
use warnings;

use DBI;
$dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:mysql:databasename', 'username', 'password'
               ) || die "Could not connect to database: $DBI::errstr";

My code is pretty much identical to the code you posted. I get the message that either "mysql" is spelled wrong or the capitalization is incorrect or the DBD::mysql module is not installed. Checking the installed modules with instmodsh.bat, it shows the DBD::mysql module is not installed. When I attempt to install the module using CPAN, I see the error that the makefile.pl does not find the file "mysql.h".
