/usr/lib/perl5/Mysql contains Statement.pm It begins with: -------------- package Mysql::Statement; @Mysql::Statement::ISA = qw(DBI::st); use strict; use vars qw($OPTIMIZE $VERSION $AUTOLOAD); $VERSION = '1.2001'; ------------

Well, my version of Statement.pl says $VERSION = '1.1825'; So, you're using a newer version of stuff than I am. What version of MySQL are you using? Are you sure you have it all installed properly?

I use mysql-3.22.6alpha installed from RPMs. Seems it works correctly. I could not find any error messages in log files... bugzilla successufully connected... I'll try to investigate what changes were made from 1.1825

Here is the patch which fixes the problem. Only one line :-))))))) Index: globals.pl =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/mozilla/webtools/bugzilla/globals.pl,v retrieving revision 1.3 diff -u -r1.3 globals.pl --- globals.pl 1998/09/17 00:21:07 1.3 +++ globals.pl 1998/09/18 11:56:07 @@ -31,7 +31,7 @@ sub ConnectToDatabase { if (!defined $::db) { - $::db = Mysql->Connect("localhost", "bugs", "bugs", "") + $::db = Mysql->connect("localhost", "bugs") || die "Can't connect to database server."; } }

The database is being reorganized a bit. Instead of the Bugzilla product, a new Webtools product has been created, with Bugzilla being a component of it. This bug is being moved from the old Bugzilla product to the new Webtools product.

Verified as fixed with Feb 3 Seamonkey

Moving to Bugzilla product
