Hello mysql++ experts,
I have a problem which likely has an obvious solution but I am stumped for the moment.
I have several applications running mysql++ 3.0.6 under Visual Studio 2005/MFC which run
fine.
When I downloaded mysql++ 3.0.9 and built the VS2008 directory (after using the rebake.bat
file to link against MySQL Server 5.1 which is at C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1)
everything built with no problem.
But the examples only connect to mysql if the "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server
5.1\bin\mysqld" windows service is started up. Otherwise I get a connection failure like
the following command-line text:
C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\My Downloads\mysqlplusplus\Copy of Copy of
mysql++-3.0.9>exrun simple2 -u mysqlpp_test -p nunyabinness
DB connection failed: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)
If I start up the Mysql windows service I get the following successful result from the
command-line:
C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\My Downloads\mysqlplusplus\Copy of Copy of
mysql++-3.0.9>exrun simple2 -u mysqlpp_test -p nunyabinness

In general my applications will not have the mysql windows service runnning, so does
anyone know what switch/setting/etc. I need to modify to make the examples (and any other
VS2008 mysql++ 3.0.9 application ) connect to the database without having the mysql
Windows service running??
Thanks In Advance,
Tom
