MySQL modules crashes server

[churchill]

I'm sure someone told me this but I can't remember who. basically when i try to connect to a mysql server (localhost, running on vista), from my local MTA server, the server crashes. Note that this is using the MySQL module, and not the MTA-MySQL Module, because I couldn't find a working download link for that one.

Any ideas on what's going on ? I'm trying to connect using the root user, which I've been able to do via the mysql query browser, but not from MTA.

db = mysqlCreate() 
    mysqlOpen (db, "functionToCallonCompletion", "localhost", "root", "[mypassword]", "[mySchemaName]", 3306) 

I even tried turning on mySql logs to see if I can get info but it doesn't appear to be connecting at all?

I wonder if it's due to soem kind of firewall or vista's weird permissions that stops MTA connecting to MySQL and needs something amended to make it work?

I wonder if mta-mysql would be any better, but I can't get a working link for that anywhere

It seems like the download is indeed down for the moment. If it's any help I've attached the original MTA-MySQL module files.

cheers Ace, just tried the mta-mysql module and that appears to work fine with the same details, so I wonder why that other module isn't quite doing what it's supposed to.

Someone has told me though that they've seen the server freeze when doing queries using the mta-mysql module, so I had hoped to test this using the other module to see if it was any better, but I guess it's not to bed.

I honestly can't confirm that. So far I haven't had a thread lock or anything of that kind using MTA-MySQL.
