I am having trouble getting sympa to work properly with mysql. It works fine without the database configured, but when I change sympa.conf database values I have problems. If I send a command to sympa, I get the response "Command not understood: ignoring end of message." While the exact same command sent to sympa without database configuration works fine...

When I start sympa with -D I get this response:

$ ./sympa.pl -D
955932743 Configuration file read
955932743 List::probe_db()
955932743 List::db_connect
955932743 Connected to Database sympa
955932743 Using locale file us.cat version 2.5.4
955932743 NLS message file version 2.5.4 different from src version
2.6.1

Here an excerpt from sympa.conf:


#################################
## Database connection parameters
## If defined, default for "user_data_source" list parameter
## becomes "database"

## Database type ; maybe one of mysql, Pg, Oracle, Sybase
## DBI requires the appropriate DBD to be installed !!
db_type mysql

## Name of your database
db_name sympa

## Your database hostname
db_host localhost

## Username to connect to the DB
db_user sympa

## Password for the user
db_passwd grover2k

If anyone can shed some light on this problem I would be very appreciative!!!
