missing module reported by -l debug

[Dave Bevan]

Hello,

The wiki needs to mention that python-mysql is needed in terms of using mysql as backend.

[Andreas Preikschat (googol-deactivatedaccount)]

Do you have MySQL installed?

[Dave Bevan (dave-bevan)]

Yes, including phpmyadmin, full apache stack etc.

Access using "mysql -uopenlp -popenlp -hlocalhost openlp" verified with ability to create tables by hand etc.

Is there a python package dependency that isn't documented perhaps?

--d.

[Dave Bevan (dave-bevan)]

OK.

So I performed

npf@pc-n993019:~/.cache/openlp$ sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb
[sudo] password for npf:

And now OpenLP starts, and has created tables as required.

So, it's a documentation issue - perhaps the mention in the Linux section of a dependency on Python's MySQL module should be made, and perhaps an example, for Ubuntu users, showing

sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb

would help.

Thanks for the hint.
