[SOLVED]Unable to deploy under Linux (MySQL plugin issue)

[HPCTECH]

@SGaist Thanks for reply

Which qmake did you call to rebuild the plugin ?

below you can find full log of my building attempt:

Guys may I get some help.

Depending on this doc (it seems outdated) I made another attempt to build QMySQLPlugin but unfortunately I got same result.

BTW: I tried to fix my issue by following same steps of this post but it reached to dead end :(

You're in the wrong folder, it's src/plugins/sqldrivers/mysql

@SGaist said:

Yep. I found the right path which is ~/.Qt/5.5/Src/qtbase/plugins/sqldrivers thanks @SGaist

Any way, my problem still exists & became much worst because it occurs too when I run my app using Qt Creator although I re-built libqsqlmysql.so successfully!

As attempting for fixing this issue. I copied sqldrivers folder to app path but it didn't fix the issue because my app & Qt Creator still show QMYSQL driver not loaded

Moving the folder beside your application won't help on linux unless you modify the environment a bit so they can be found. But since you have the sql plugin built and in place, you should print the value of lastError to get more information.

How can I do that?

But since you have the sql plugin built and in place, you should print the value of lastError to get more information.

Print out the result of lastError() but I got nothing more than I get before see the snippet please:

void Dialog::on_pushButton_connect_clicked()
{
    QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QMYSQL");
    db.setHostName("localhost");
    db.setDatabaseName("mysql");
    db.setUserName("root");
    db.setPassword("root");
    if (!db.open()) {
        ui->plainTextEdit_log->setPlainText(db.lastError().text());
        ui->plainTextEdit_log->appendPlainText(QString("----\nPaths\n----\n%1").arg(qApp->libraryPaths().join("\n")));
    }
}

The result was:

Can you run your application QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS set to 1 ? That should give some additional pointers as to why it doesn't load the plugin.

You are missing the openssl libraries

It's not related to my issue because it points to "libqsqlmysql.so" which is not needed in my application (the needed one is libqsqlmysql.so)

Any way, I fixed the problem (thanks to Hamish Moffatt from Qt mailing list) by removing "libqsqlmysql.so" (the old plugin original file shipped by Qt Installer) outside sqldrivers folder
