[3.25 Pro] MySQL
 
Did the name of the DLL that cmud is looking for when mysql is specified as the driver change? I've tried mysql.dll, libmysql.dll, libmysql50.dll (which is what I was using previously) both in the main Cmud directory and I even put them in System32.

No matter what I do when I try to connect to a remote database:
Code:
#sqldb iwuvaard iwuvaard mysql iwuvaard.ipdaily.net 3306 guest iwuvaard


I get 'Requested database driver was not found.'

This used to work so maybe I need a particular version of the mysql dll? Any thoughts Zugg?

Thank you!

I haven't made any changes to this in a long time. It should still be the "libmysql50.dll" file for MySQL v5.x. I actually just tried your code above on my system here and it connected just fine.

Maybe reboot Windows in case Windows has the DLL locked somehow? You shouldn't put it into System32...that might mess up other software on your computer potentially. Just keep it in the same directory as the CMUD.EXE file.

Thanks Zugg. I got an earlier Mysql DLL from the 5.0x lines and it picked it up no problem. Whew, problem solved.
