1) The manual page given in the plugin docs is exactly what you need to
read for examples of how to build the correct DSN.  You said it
"provides no insight", which is preposterous.  I told you to read it
again for good reason.  But to be nice, I also handed you the answer you
needed.  The only BS is that you refused to read documentation carefully
and instead choose to waste precious time of people helping you for free.

2) Your post only described problems YOU were having understanding how
to figure out your DSN.  If you don't have the right DSN, *of course*
you will have errors, but that is because YOU haven't configured it
correctly.  Your subject line implies otherwise and is annoying.  Please
read:

There are in fact some bugs in that release, but you have not found them.

See above links.

No, "config right or wrong" is not correct.  The exact point is that the
config is wrong.  The error is yours (and you didn't even include the
error in your first post - you also need to read the following link
(which was already sent to you when you signed up for the list) before
posting again).

Please show the web page where it says that newbies should come ask for
someone to hold their hand free of charge, not even having done their
homework.  You are being inconsiderate if you do not respect the time of
the people helping you.

mysql will work just find for you.  You do not need mysqli nor do you
need PHP5.  Note that the error you mention above has nothing to do with
the DSN.

yes and no.
