Re: Unable to connect to database

I removed the modules which i installed manually. Now if i am trying to install using cpan i get the error:

C:\PROGRA~1\MySQL\MYSQLS~1.6\bin\MYSQLA~1.EXE: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO)' Problem running C:\PROGRA~1\MySQL\MYSQLS~1.6\bin\MYSQLA~1.EXE - aborting ... Warning: No success on commandC:\Perl\bin\perl.exe Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=site

and if i install the module from ppm then i get the following error:

Downloading DBD-mysql-4.011...redirect Downloading DBD-mysql-4.011...failed 401 Authorization Required ppm install failed: 401 Authorization Required

5.8.8 is from 2006, consider upgrading. Either read the documentation regarding manual installation or add more PPM repos via PPM::Repositories.	[reply]

What Perl version do you have ?. It's possible the PPM repository you are accessing requires a Business Edition license. See here for details http://community.activestate.com/product/activeperl poj	[reply]
