Re: [Refdb-users] Problem to create first refdb user database with mysql

[anonyme <sit...@fr...>]

Thank you very much, now it's Ok, my server is running ! The problem was 
the driver path was wrong. In fact I had to install mysql driver to find 
the correct driver file under /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dbd and now it's 
fine.

I've got an other problem with php interface configuration because 
localhost/refdb/ is a white page... But I create a new message to ask help.

Thank you again !
