DB Connection problem

[=gRiJ=Petr]

I'm having a problem with connecting to the DB on my new server. The OS is Windows 2003 R2 x64 bit. Folloowing another post I downloaded the x64 bit ODBC driver, copied it to the systems32 directory and ran the install.bat file.
The driver seems to be correctly registered in ODBC but I still get the following error:


Any idea's? Thanks!!

Cheers,
Petr

Hi Petr,

Some ideas:

1/ SQL Server is not a supported DB product for SEOW. If you still want to go down this route, then you are on your own. However, the following ideas might possibly help...
2/ Check what port your SQL Server is running on. 3306 is the default MySQL port.
3/ You might have more luck specifying a DSN path in the MSAccess connection box.

I notice that you are running Navicat for MySQL. If you aready have a MySQL server running, then you never even need to think about SQL Server or ODBC registrations. Are you confusing MySQL with SQL Server?

Hi 4Shades,

After you posted that SQL is not tested/supported I decided to go with MySQL since you also gave me a workaround for the slow planning tool loading.

And I also have no real knowledge of DB's or configuring them
So the DB is MySQL.

The port is on 3306, checked. I can connect tot the DB through Navicat with the username and password (no password for the moment actually).

How do I specify a DSN path, is that necessary for MySQL?

Hold on, so I don't need ODBC connections with MySQL

Check the port set on the MP admin panel (or in MP-connection.php) as the default value is set on 3307

Code: Select all

$DefaultDBCon = array("mysql","localhost","3307","seowlogin","seowpassword","SEDB32C")

Maybe your database is pointing to 3307 port on your settings


e.g.

Code: Select all

$SectorDBCon["Normandy"] = array("mysql","localhost","3307","seowlogin","password","sedb32c_normandy"); 

will not work if your mysql port is 3306

Code: Select all

$SectorDBCon["Normandy"] = array("mysql","localhost","3306","seowlogin","password","sedb32c_normandy"); 

will work

Hi Gross,

Checked that and I think it should be ok. Here's screenshot:


I know I have to chenge it for other maps down the road but I just want it to work for the moment

Here's the My.ini in Navicat:

# Replication Slave (comment out master section to use this)
#
# To configure this host as a replication slave, you can choose between
# two methods :
#
# 1) Use the CHANGE MASTER TO command (fully described in our manual) -
# the syntax is:
#
# CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST=<host>, MASTER_PORT=<port>,
# MASTER_USER=<user>, MASTER_PASSWORD=<password> ;
#
# where you replace <host>, <user>, <password> by quoted strings and
# <port> by the master's port number (3306 by default).
#
# Example:
#
# CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST='125.564.12.1', MASTER_PORT=3306,
# MASTER_USER='joe', MASTER_PASSWORD='secret';
#
# OR
#
# 2) Set the variables below. However, in case you choose this method, then
# start replication for the first time (even unsuccessfully, for example
# if you mistyped the password in master-password and the slave fails to
# connect), the slave will create a master.info file, and any later
# change in this file to the variables' values below will be ignored and
# overridden by the content of the master.info file, unless you shutdown
# the slave server, delete master.info and restart the slaver server.
# For that reason, you may want to leave the lines below untouched
# (commented) and instead use CHANGE MASTER TO (see above)
#
# required unique id between 2 and 2^32 - 1
# (and different from the master)
# defaults to 2 if master-host is set
# but will not function as a slave if omitted
#server-id = 2
#
# The replication master for this slave - required
#master-host = <hostname>
#
# The username the slave will use for authentication when connecting
# to the master - required
#master-user = <username>
#
# The password the slave will authenticate with when connecting to
# the master - required
#master-password = <password>
#
# The port the master is listening on.
# optional - defaults to 3306

You need to choose "mysql" in the first column of the normandy row!
Click on combobox, type "m" and type the tab key to confirm each field of the row. Then save. It should work.

I'll send you the my.ini of mine, I tested it for a good performances on queries

[=gRiJ=Petr]

I'm not sure that it's that, it says default which is pointing to mysql. I can't change it either, it is greyed out.

Just to be safe, I've changed the Normandy to the default one. Maybe it'll help. Rebooting now.

Thanks!

[22GCT_Gross]

You should send me the link and the password to access the admin panel.
It seems a very stupid problem, not a important issue. Let me check.

[=gRiJ=Petr]

Just PM'ed the details!

Cheers,
Petr

[22GCT_Gross]

I set "mysql" on normandy row easily

Now let's check the SEDCS connection, it should run now

[=gRiJ=Petr]

You did?

It still shows it as default on my iexplorer!

Just tried SEDCS, same problem...

[22GCT_Gross]

everything works (also with my my.ini), but the connection between SEDCS window application and MySql.

[=gRiJ=Petr]

hmm, when I check your ini, it has completely different working and install dir defined then what I have.
The install dir is C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.1.33
These are defined in my ini

yours in c:\program files\etc...

When I change these in your ini it doesn't work anymore. The service won't start.

But if you leave it, it works?

Also, you have a different version of Mysql than I have, could this be the problem? anyone try mysql5.1.33?

I also have a Windows 2003 server X64, could this give ODBC problems? I've created a userDSN and can connect fine. With the mysql driver I installed...

[22GCT_Gross]

yes it works, but the path uses / not \ : basedir="C:/wamp/bin/mysql/mysql5.1.33/"

problem stay on odbc driver, I think.
