texte = Jim Lanford is working on this step by step. This is a draft he sent to me. This is a start of a mini HowTo for getting Linux WebCatalog, unixODBC, MyODBC to work with MySQL It's a work in progress. The ODBC part worked only on 2 of 4 servers. Q1: Do I have a config problem with unixODBC or MyODBC ? Q2: Is there a way for force the ODBC Libraries to reload / reset (or something)? Q3: Are there other Linux clients to easily test the ODBC stuff with. (that will return a better error message on ODBC conf issues)I'm a MySQL / ODBC nubie, so there is a good chance that I'm doing something wrong with the configure / install of unixODBC and / or MyODBC- I have 4 Linux servers on the Internet 3 RH 6.2 and one RH 7.0 - WebCatalog/ Apache work on all 4 - MySQL works on all 4 - ODBC only works on 2 - I set them up the same way by pasting the below commands into a term window to avoid typos and be consistent across all 4 servers. - Using exact same odbc.ini and WebCatalog templates, the 2 working servers and talk to all 4 test databases. (one of them is local) - The 4 databases are the same with an extra record containing the server name - The servers are all remote so I can't use the ODBC GUI stuff. ## ODBC was written by Microsoft so all the books talk about running it on Windows ## and using windows the configure ODBC ## On Linux, you can use a text editor to edit the odbc.ini files## on Linux, my setup looks like this 1) Application (WebCatalog) 2) ODBC Driver Manager (unixODBC) 3) ODBC Driver (MyODBC) --- internet --- 4) DB - MySQL server B -- MySQL server C -- etc. I've installed WebCatalog / Apache many times on many Linux configurations (even MacOSX). http://www.smithmicro.com/isd/webcatalog/ WebCatalog / Apache works fine and will give 'Error: SQL not supported' if 'WebCatalog Prefs' does not contain the correct path to unixODBC - - - - -Edit - WebCatalog Prefs - - - - - - - - - - SQLLibraryPath /usr/local/unixODBC/lib/libodbc.so - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -I don't get the 'SQL not supported' error, I get the other SQL error which is returned for all other SQL problems SQL Error: 00000 Playing arround with a working system, I can get this error when - odbc.ini is setup incorrectly - the WebCat .tpl file has an error - the remote and local passwords do not match - the remote SQL server is down and so on.
