He only needs the mysql-client package installed if he wishes to use the command-line mysql utility to connect. In this case, I doubt he needs it at all. It's quite likely the program he's trying to use is using the DBI libraries (php-mysql, perl-DBD-mysql, etc), which *would* need to be installed, per Popper's documentation. For example, on my development system, I only have mysql-3.23 and mysql-server-3.23 installed, but I have no problems connecting to MySQL databases using the perl-DBI and perl-DBD-MySQL modules. It's going to be hard to help this user because a) he's really in the wrong forum (this is a MySQL/Popper-specific issue, it has nothing to do with RedHat, per se), and b) he hasn't given us enough debugging information. But if I had to choose, I would imagine he hasn't setup his database user(s) properly as per the Popper documentation. I'm not familiar with Popper, and I'm not going to read the documentation for him, so I'm just guessing. :) -- Jason Dixon, RHCE DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
