2011-11-07 03:50:49 Samuel Findlay description OpenLP 1.9.7 on Win7 Pro x64 -- as reported by jstruebel on forums: It appears that OpenLP can't handle non-alphanumeric characters in the mysql password. I had generated a random password that included some symbols originally and even still if I try to use that password OpenLP fails to connect to the database. The second password that I tried today and which worked, was a random password using only alphanumeric characters. The debug logs for both an unsuccessful attempt and the successful connection are at the following links. crashed with traceback: http://pastebin.com/nWFLSNT2 successful: http://pastebin.com/zCCgs2aW I have run into this issue with other software where passwords must not contain symbols. Since it works with a strictly alphanumeric password it isn't a showstopper, but the documentation should indicate that the password cannot contain symbols.
