I hope someone can help me. I have just started using CodeCharge, in order to learn php :)
My problem is as follows :
1. I have MySQL running on a remote server, and have created a database called test via Webmin on this server.
2. I am attempting to set up a database connection to this server from my work machine.
3. I have installed the MySQL ODBC driver on my local machine
4. I have also installed the MDAC drivers on my local machine
5. My publishing options are via FTP
6. WHen I click the Database tab in CodeCharge, I am presented with the following options :
a. Design Type : Custom
My problem lies in setting up the COnnection String. I have set it to the following :
a. Provider : Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC drivers
b. On the connection tab : Use Data Source Name : this is set to test-MySQL (obtained from the drop down list)
I then enter my username and password to connect to the MySQL server, but when I test the connection, I get an error that says : Test connection failed because of an error in initialising provider
Can anyone help me please ???
My connection string looks like this :
Provider=MSDASQL.1;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=sian;Data Source=test-MySQL;Mode=ReadWrite
Thanks

1) Your ODBC datasource in Control Panel mut be properly set up to point to a
host,database with set up login and password.
2) Make sure that you have latest MDAC

Also you have to make sure you do not use custom but the dns that you created using the mysql odbc driver.

Thanks guys - it was my port setting in the User DSN and System DSN settings - I had this set to the same port number as my FTP access (10000 instead of 3306)- now its working, I can start using CodeCharge :)
