[rt-devel] Mysql DBI error on make install

[Shaun Hedges]

Yes, seems reasonable.

Are newer versions backwards compatible?  I have some code that uses the old
style syntax still.

Thx everyone for the help

Hi Shaun,

Older DBD::mysql drivers did not support the DBI->connect syntax:

        DBI:mysql:dbname=db;host=host

instead you have to use:

        DBI:mysql:db:host

We found this on a lot of systems, might be worth switching to the old
style syntax, or mentioning it in the docs.

Cheers,

Alex
