I have tried connecting via the ODBC driver and failed (MYSQL Error ever time) - I also tried removing the password and then the user name from the ACC hta file - still same problem.
Should I be able to test the connection to the database using the ODBC Admin tool? I will try removing the ODBC drivers and re-installing the 32 bit one (64 bit driver installed at present) I did edit the .tt file but right now I am trying to connect locally.

Ofcourse you have to perform the manual pre-requirements first like modifying the mysql my.tt file to allowe for remote access. the usernamen and password (both slimserver) can be left out as it is no hard requiremend (but can't do any harm either). -- SilverRS8 Author of -'AlbumCatalogCreator' (http://acc.vanholt.nl)- for SqueezeCenter '_' (http://www.badkamerpech.nl) SlimServer. 2xSB3, 1xDuet, 1xiPhone iPeng, Ubuntu NAS + SC, Denon PMA-1500AE + DacMagic + Monitor Audio Silver RS8 = :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SilverRS8's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12818 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73198 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
