The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Philip Crandall <address@concealed>]

It doesn't sound like the issue was configuration of the database parameters, 
but, rather, that the appropriate CPAN modules couldn't be installed because 
they have a dependency on the mysql libraries that aren't installed.

Mark, if that's the case, you need to make sure that your OS has the mysql 
libraries. Without knowing what OS you are running, it's hard to say what 
packages you need to install. For example, on Fedora, the dependencies for 
perl-DBD-MySQL are:

   provider: glibc.i686 2.12-1
   provider: glibc.i686 2.12.2-1
   provider: glibc.x86_64 2.12-1
   provider: glibc.x86_64 2.12.2-1
   provider: mysql-libs.x86_64 5.1.45-2.fc13
   provider: mysql-libs.x86_64 5.1.52-1.fc13
   provider: openssl.x86_64 1.0.0-1.fc13
   provider: openssl.x86_64 1.0.0c-1.fc13
   provider: perl-DBD-MySQL.x86_64 4.013-3.fc13
   provider: perl-DBD-MySQL.x86_64 4.017-1.fc13
   provider: perl-DBI.x86_64 1.609-4.fc13
   provider: perl.i686 4:5.10.1-112.fc13
   provider: perl.x86_64 4:5.10.1-112.fc13
   provider: perl.x86_64 4:5.10.1-120.fc13
   provider: zlib.x86_64 1.2.3-23.fc12

If you have the ability to install any perl CPAN modules from a package 
repository, I highly recommend that (note: not all perl modules required for 
Sympa are necessarily packaged, depending on the OS, and some have to be 
installed directly from CPAN).

Hi,

Just set up the "db_host" parameter in your sympa.conf so that Sympa is able 
to access the correct host.
It should not be a problem.
