Selecting data from mysql using qt?

[Dii]

db.lasterror().text() should come after line 16 (db.open()).
The password in the Qt code must be the same what you have specified in the GRANT command above.

I suspect probably, you haven't made the database and the table in mysql yet, if you go back to mysql command line, what do you get by these commands:

@SHOW databases;

USE testTwo;

SHOW tables;@

I go to dinner, be back in a few minutes :)

You put my debug before opening the connection. Put it after.

i changed db.lastError().text(); and place it after db.open()
this is the output
@
Starting /home/zafar/c++/dbExample-build-desktop/dbExample...
"Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) QMYSQL: Unable to connect"
false
QSqlQuery::exec: database not open
/home/zafar/c++/dbExample-build-desktop/dbExample exited with code 0
@

the commands in mysql displayed are here
repectively to your commands

@
mysql> show databases;
+--------------------+
| Database |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| cdcol |
| mysql |
| phpmyadmin |
| test |
| testTwo |
+--------------------+
6 rows in set (0.01 sec)

mysql> use testTwo
Database changed
mysql> show tables
-> ;
+-------------------+
| Tables_in_testTwo |
+-------------------+
| testTable |
+-------------------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

Change the 19th line to

@QSqlQuery query(db);@

[doforumda]

same error again

Take a look into mysql logs to see what happens when you are trying to connect from your application.

[doforumda]

how can i check that mysql logs and from where?

Try to find them:
@find /opt/lampp -name log -type d@

When you find the log directory, find a log for mysql and use tail utility:

@tail -f /path/to/mysql.log@

[doforumda]

this command didnt return something
@
root@zafar-laptop:/# find /opt/lampp -name log -type d
root@zafar-laptop:/#
@

[doforumda]

i have a folder inside lampp with the name logs. is it the one which your are talking about

[lyuts]

Solution 1:
@find /opt/lampp -name '*.log'@
This might need sudo'ing.

Solution 2:
If 1st fails then you need to find the config files for mysql (it should be located in /opt/lampp directory) and try to find out what is the location of mysql's log files.

[doforumda]

there are 6 files in there but no mysql.log

these are the files
access_log, cgisock.1693, error_log, httpd.pid, php_error_log, ssl_request_log

[Dii]

Don't bother with the log files, I guess Qt looks at the wrong place for the socket file...

Let's check this line in your mysql config file (my.cnf):

socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

You should find my.cnf in /etc/ or /etc/mysql/ ... I don't know ubuntu that much.

[doforumda]

1st solution returns this
@
root@zafar-laptop:/# find /opt/lampp -name *.log
/opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp/contrib/sqlnet.log
@

[doforumda]

with which editor i can view that .conf file. with gedit or something.

I don't think that this config will be in /etc. He uses lampp - a preconfigured bundle. That config might be in /opt/lampp.

[Dii]

BTW a quick sum:

• mysql is installed
• database and tables are created
• access is granted
• qt code looks fine

I see two possibilities here: libmysqlclient is missing, or the socket file is at different place.

[doforumda]

the file my.cnf is in etc/mysql folder

[Dii]

doforumda: use gedit

sudo gedit /etc/mysql/my.cnf

at least most of the ubuntu machines have the config file there.
