The DBD-mysqlPP will NOT WORK for the sake of the spell scripts and you must install the normal DBD-mysql module. To install it, follow these steps:
1. open the Perl Package Manager
2. click the Edit menu - Preferences
3. click the Repositories tab
4. In the location box type "http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/"
5. Click Add
6. Click OK
7. Install the DBD-mysql package
OR
1. open a command line prompt
2. type "ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/DBD-mysql.ppd
"
3. Press Enter
At this point, the import/export scripts will run correctly. |
I tried doing this but it had no effect. It kept saying things like no PPD found at
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/. So instead I just tried ppm install DBD-mysql and it looks like the import.pl is working now
