How to fix error install_driver(mySQL) failed?
 

Hello!

I am taking over a system which has
MySQL in redhat 9.0
Apache-DBI-1.06.tar.gz
DBD-mysql-4.004
Perl 5.004

and trying to get a web application to access the Mysql db.
All command line and mysql utilities work fine. Perl itself
works fine.

But.......

when attempting to connect in the perl code it gives the following error
during the

dbh$->connect("DBI:mysql:$mydb",.....

-----------

You can resolving step by step?

It seems your DBD::mysql Perl module is missing or broken. Try upgrading it with CPAN.

If you haven't used CPAN before, it will prompt you for some initial configuration options, so read and answer them carefully.
