Please Help.

I think that I am really close, but I am still having problems. I am running a MySQL server on one machine and IIS with perl on a second and I am having problems trying to get them to communicate.

First off, On my development machine, the Web Server, I have CCS, ActiveState Perl, and IIS 5.1. I have already loaded MyODBC and I have configured a connection to my database server. I have created a connection in CCS and if I call a command like "Grid Builder" with the connection, it correctly populates the tables and variables of the database that I am referencing.

My problems comes up with the server connection. As I said earlier, I am running activestate perl and I have installed the DBI, DBD-mysql, and DBD-ODBC.

My first attempt was is the DBD-mysql driver. It appears to run correctly, but since I am running my database server on a seperate machine from the webserver, I get an error that the DBI CONNECT cannot connect to the server on localhost. How do I configure it so that it looks at the correct machine.

My Second attempt was with the DBD-ODBC driver. I thought this would be easy since I already have ODBC setup for the development enviroment.. After setting this one up, I got a DBI connect failed. "Data source name not found and no default driver specified" The catch is that if open a command window and exicute the CGI script from there ("C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe query.cgi"), it works correctly.

Thanks for any help.

O.K. got one figured out. when using DBD-mysql driver, to specify a different server use

DBI:mysql:database=dbname;host=ipaddress

in the DBI data source name field of the server configuration.

with ODBC you must use SYSTEM DSN, not USER DSN
