server.log

After updating the database schema to include the updates necessary for LMS
(bug 17749), MySQL in LMS 7.7.0 crashes on Windows since the move to Perl
5.14.1. Reverting to r33175 and running with Perl 5.10.1 works fine.

Attached is a log file from running the Perl source code with 7.7.1 r33689.

I've decided to remove DBD::mysql completely, our version is extremely outdated and it is too much of a pain to build this old version on Windows. You can manually install the newest version using ActiveState PPM.

Bug 17755, remove all DBD::mysql binaries, MySQL users will need to manually install this module

Comment 4 Jim McAtee 2011-11-21 08:43:29 UTC

Andy, because this is too much work to maintain, or some other reason?

Comment 5 Andy Grundman 2011-11-21 08:44:59 UTC

Because I know it would take several hours to compile DBD::mysql for Windows. I could take a prebuilt version but it would mean needing to upgrade all other platforms to 4.020 as well. Not sure it's worth it for the handful of people who care to use MySQL.

May as well take care of bug 17767 while you're at it.
