Keith,

The "access denied" error message indicates that your script is successfull=
y contacting the MySQL server, but the user 'ODBC' doesn't have permission =
to connect without a password from whatever host your script is running on.

Hi

I keep running into the following error when attempting to load the DBD for
mysql:

C:\PROGRA~1\MySQL\MYSQLS~1.1\bin\MYSQLA~1.EXE: connect to server at
'localhost'
failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'

I originally tried to install through CPAN but kept getting 500 errors when
trying to connect (probably blocked by my company's IT), so I pulled the ta=
r
down and decompressed it to load it manually. I had no troubles getting DBI
to load. I am using MySQl 5.1.41 - the test DB and default accounts all
appear there correctly, and i have went as far as giiving the
ODBC@localhostaccount full permissions to the test DB and still get
the same error. Any
idea what I am missing?

Thanks

Keith Thomas
