Problems with dbi-connector and mysql

[Oliver Brandt]

Hi!

thank you very much for gnucash. I've been using it for quite some time
to do my personal finances and it works great. Now I'm trying to help a
friend of mine, who needs to do accounting where multiple people can
work on the same data. So I thought of a combination of gnucash and
mysql. After researching for quite a while, I found out that the dbi
connector seems to be the way to do it. I spent about 4 hours to get
gnucash to build properly with the dbi-connector. But now I'm stuck
getting it to connect to the mysql database. I've installed a clean
version of mysql and executed the following mysql-command to have full
access to the database:

GRANT ALL ON *.* TO oliver at localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'xxxxx' WITH GRANT
OPTION

Now I've tryed both the save and the load button in the database
connection outions. I staid wit the default options:

server: localhost
database: gnucash
user: oliver
password: xxx

I always get the message "the following url could not be processed:
mysql://localhost:gnucash:oliver:eis3Shia" original german message: "Die
folgende URL konnte nicht verarbeitet werden".

Same situation after I have created the database gnucash with "CREATE
DATABASE gnucash".

I'm really stuck and I could not find any more information neither
through google nore by reading the archives. I would really appreciate
it if you could point me into the right direction or towards some howto
or something similar.

Thank you very much!

Merry Christmas!

Oliver
