Hi I am having issues w/ the following config: I have Apache, mysql, PHP and perl (activestate) installed in my XP (NOT through cygwin but installed individually). I can use dos prompt and connect to mysql DB (e.g mysql -U???? -P?????), I can also use Mysql-Front / SQLyog to connect to mysql (localhost of course). But if I open an xterm through cygwin, I cannot connect to mysql (e.g mysql -U???? -P?????). Also the activestate perl (has DBD DBI mysql module installed) can access mysql db (through dos calling a pl script / using cgi through apache). But I cannot use perl through cygwin to connect to mysql. WHen I tried to do a 'mysql -U???? -P????' through the xterm in cygwin, it'll just 'hang' and keep me waiting and waiting w/out errors..so I had to do a hard excape. also when I tried to execute the same perl script (the same script I used through dos prompt) through the xterm in cygwin, i cannot connect to mysql. Not sure if it's the same issue (mysql and perl), but how should I tackle them? I know that the perl and mysql package is different b/w the one installed in windows and the one installed through cygwin. anyways I can have cygwin use the perl and mysql installed in windows? when I do a 'which perl' it tells me it's using /usr/bin/perl while the perl (activestate) under windows is installed in another dir so it's definitely using a different perl package. I tried installed DBI:mysql bundle into the perl pkg in cygwin but it failed becoz it cannot find the mysql_config. so I cannot installed that. ANyhelp will be appreciated. thx
