Fwd: Re:Need Help with Lua mysql connectivity

Dear Tomas,

Thank you for your reply.

I have a doubt regarding the libraries included in luasql package. When I downloaded the luasql-master zip file from Github (https://github.com/keplerproject/luasql), it did not have mysql.so library in <lua_package>/src which would be installed in the/usr/local/lib/lua/5.2/luasql path.

Also, mysql.lua is not present in the package. I am attaching the screenshot of the Github page for your reference.

I looked for downloading mysql.so separately, but found no luck.

I am in doubt, whether the above Github luasql is the right package for testing mysql db connectivity using lua.
Kindly share your thoughts.

Thanks for your time.

Regards,
Poojita

Hi Poojita

Check where the library (mysql.so) have been installed. It should
be at /usr/local/lib/lua/5.2/luasql/mysql.so.

Hi Users,
I have been learning Lua recently and trying to connect to a local MySQL =
Database.

Lua has been installed in my Linux machine at location /usr/local/

Lua 5.2.3 Copyright (C) 1994-2013 Lua.org, PUC-Rio

I downloaded Luasql package from github and installed using makefile. The b=
elow path /usr/local/lib/lua/5.2/luasql contains

the below files related to MySQL.

ls_mysql.c
mysql.def

When I try to run a sample mysql program I get the following error.

lua: testing.lua:3: module 'luasql.mysql' not found:
no field package.preload['luasql.mysql']
no file '/usr/local/share/lua/5.2/luasql/mysql.lua'
no file '/usr/local/share/lua/5.2/luasql/mysql/init.lua'

no file './luasql.so'
stack traceback:

Request your kind support, as how to configure Lua to use luasql in connecting to MySQL.
Thanks in advance..
