Mysql on nas (python) [SOLVED] (2 replies)

Hi.

I have a MySQL server running on my nas and I am struggling to connect to it from a terminal session on the nas. Also I can't connect through Python's Py-MySQL package. I know the server's there but I don't know how to connect to it from within the machine that its running on. I can connect from a terminal on my desktop PC and through a web interface.



# mysql
-sh: mysql: command not found



>>> import MySQLdb
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 23, in <module>
(version_info, _mysql.version_info))
ImportError: this is MySQLdb version (1, 2, 3, 'final', 0), but _mysql is version (1, 2, 3, 'gamma', 1)



# /mnt/HDA_ROOT/mysql/bin/mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 1555 to server version: 5.0.27-log

No entry for terminal type "xterm";
using dumb terminal settings.
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

I've tried including the /mnt/HDA_ROOT/mysql/lib path in the ld.so.conf but that hasn't helped.

The nas is a Qnap tsx09 and python is installed as optware.

I would like to get python talking to the Mysql server. Any thoughts or advice would be very much appreciated.
