Hi,
I've been reading previous posts, but unable to solve this problem.
host A: hmail 511-b341 on w3k(32)-sp2, av mcafee enterprise, 512 mb, 1cpu, hosted on vmware-server 2 64b (latest build, clean build)
host B: MySQL 5.0.45 on Centos 5.3 64b , 2048 mb, 2cpu, hosted on vmware-server 2 64b (latest build, clean build)
problem scenario:
after install Myslq admin tools on host A (5.0.45) connecting to mysql instance on host B is ok and error free.
during hmail init db selection/init, installer reports libmysql.dll not found, cp into :
c:\program files\hmailserver\bin
c:\windows\system32
no joy.

Hmail db init problem against external mysql instance linux.
Re: Hmail db init problem against external mysql instance linux.
You need to download libmysql.dll it does not come with hMail V5 as V5 is not open source.
If at first you don't succeed, bomb disposal probably isn't for you! ヅ
Re: Hmail db init problem against external mysql instance linux.
Dear,
as stated initially, I've installed MySql admin tools for version 5.0 (latest) on the hmail host, and copied the corresponding file to the hmailserver\bin directory and in a second try equally c:\windows\system32 (suspecting a search path issue).
No joy.
Or am I just too quick and should regress to earlier version of the mysql edition (on linux).

Re: Hmail db init problem against external mysql instance linux.
I was unaware libmysql came with MySQL Admin Tools and you did not mention that it did either 
Try the one attached, it is the one I am using.

Re: Hmail db init problem against external mysql instance linux.
Hi Doom,
It seem that the libmysql from 5.0 is not yet fitted into the install scripts/calls for hmail.
The file you've send me is half the size of the 5.0 one, but it worked like a blink.
Thanks very much.
What version of mysql for crime-o-soft is this coming from?
Possibly this should be posted, as other users could run into the same sh*t. Or is the forum enough (newbe to forums)
Anyway thanks.
ps libmysql.dll is always installed with adm mysql tools.

Re: Hmail db init problem against external mysql instance linux.
I use PHPMyAdmin and always have 
libmysql.dll is not allowed to be distributed with hMail so the forums will have to do
The version i attached is the one that came with V4.

Re: Hmail db init problem against external mysql instance linux.
Dear Doom,
Maybe to prevent other people some loooong nights, some info for the community?
Is there a way to post this issue, in clear text, to the community?
I can/will provide the docu, but I've no idea on how to publish this (on public forums).
