Re: [ic] Install help please

That's something....
Now keep an eye on MySQL because there are several things that
have to be right:
permissions on /var/lib/mysql/
existance of /var/lib/mysql/mysql.socket

sometimes MySQL is configured to place mysql.socket at /tmp/mysql.socket
and DBI looks for it at /var/lib/mysql/
that gives you the "cannot connecto to MySQL through socket"

in that case, create soft link at /var/lib/mysql.socket pointing to /tmp/mysql.socket
the link returns a false to existance checking if the /tmp/mysql.socket is not there, so it works :)
 

Hopes that this doesn't show up, but if it does... that's already solved here :)
(Note... it this doesn't works check it is a permission problem on the MySQL
by running the daemon with --skip-grant-tables)

I think you may be half correct. I think it was that I didn't have DBI, but
the only error I got was "premature end of script headers", and no error at
all from Interchange, so maybe this all-too-common error in installation
could be prevented with a test in makecat just after the clueless newbie
asks for SQL and doesn't have his/her DB driver module installed. I'm
installing DBI now - fingers crossed.

Thanks for your patience and help.
