Dear folks,
when i try to run my ESET Remote Administrator installation script in command shell (Ubuntu 14), I receive the following error message:
[...]
Checking database connection . . . failure
Error: Admin connection not working. Unable to continue.
According to the manual, the user is requested to install unixODBC_23 instead of the normal unixODBC. Is this accomplished by
apt-get install unixodbc libmyodbc
(which is stated in the manual?)?
In the installation script the option --db-driver shows the value "MySQL ODBC 5.3 ANSI Driver". I'm not quite sure if this is correct?
After googling, I tried this tutorial hxxp://www.kaffeetalk.de/how-to-setup-and-configure-mysql-with-unixodbc-under-ubuntu-14-04/ and that one https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ODBC .
My /etc/odbc.ini is looking like this:
[myodbc_mysql_dsn]
Description = MySQL database Datenbankname
Driver = myodbc_mysql
Server = localhost
Database =
Port = 3306
Socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
Option = 3
ReadOnly = No
My etc/odbinst.ini shows:
[myodbc_mysql]
Description = ODBC for MySQL
Driver = /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/odbc/libmyodbc.so
Setup = /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/odbc/libodbcmyS.so
UsageCount = 8
I installed them using...
odbcinst -i -d -f /etc/odbcinst.ini
odbcinst -i -s -l -f /etc/odbc.ini
.. and ...
isql -v myodbc_mysql_dsn MYSQLUSER MYSQLUSERPASSWORD
... is showing "Connected!".
However, I'm not sure if the tutorials are suited to solve this problem? Do you know any tutorials describing the correct installation of the odbc driver?
Any help is highly appreciated.
