DBD\DBI issue

timwong

I can't connect to mysql using perl

use DBI;
my $dbh = DBI->connect(
'dbi:mysql:host=localhost',
'username',
'password',
{RaiseError => 1, AutoCommit => 0}) || die "Database connection not made: $DBI::errstr";
$dbh->disconnect();


the result is "Internal Server Error", is this can not connect to mysql?

I assume you are getting this running a CGI of some sort. That is the standard error that when a valid HTML page was not generated. You would get that if DBI did not connect, but you would also if you have a syntax error.

Log directly on the machine and rung iwperl /path/to/mycgi.ipl

and view the results, or post them.
