Topic: Problem with MySQL via ODBC (SME 5.6)?

[Tobias Weik]

hi,

is there any known problem with connecting to MySQL via ODBC on the SME 5.6? Everything worked fine in 5.5, now I installed plenty of times (as upgrade and from scratch) and everytime my ODBC connection fails with "connection got lost while connecting to the server" - the mysqld.log shows a hanging process and a restart everytime I try to connect. Just switched back to 5.5 (install from scratch) and it works fine again... No problems with local connections and ODBC-user has full access from any host - and yes, I didn´t change the mysql password or something else, only set the PHPBaseDir restriction to "/"

Working with MyODBC 3.51.55 (I know this isn´t yet production, but has been working before) from Win98SE.

TIA - Toby

Try upgrading glic and glibc-common to the latest RH 7.3 update from your nearest RedHat mirror.
