Re: Re: Re: prob with DBD::mysql on Mac OS X

thanks for your research! sounds reasonable to me. but, it does not work anyway...
a few more questions you can easily answer me:
- i do not have to restart the system do i?
- my mysql is in /usr/local/mysql..../. i tried with the alias (which is /usr/local/mysql) and with the whole path. neither worked. maybe it helps to reinstall mysql to /usr/mysql?

i tried both ways, the PATH and the export. keep on trying. thanks for your help & patience!

sorry for the last anonymous post. the question for the restart is not considering my acutal prob. (it did not help anyway.) i'm new to *nix-systems and used to restart the system every time i did something special on it (from windows). so the question is more general: when do i have to restart my system? never?

This is extremely off topic, but ok... You rarely need to reboot your nix machine. Only in case of a kernel panic, a kernel update, or when you want to add new (non hot swapable) hardware. Update:* ... or in case of really annoying zombie processes. -- b10m	[reply]
