Hi all,

I am using MySQL on a shared Linux server. I got MySQL++ to build
fine.
When I try to run the example program resetdb, however, I don't get
anywere.

The server requires that I use a password to acces the mysql
command-line monitor.

I can't use localhost as my host. Rather, I connect through the
following socket: --socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

For example, at the (bash) command line, I type:

mysql --socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock --user=matthew
--password=myPassword

and this works well. I get to the mysql monitor and I can type SHOW
DATABASES; and see the database that I created.

However, when I try the following, I don't seem to be executing the
program correctly:

../resetdb --socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock --user=matthew
--password=myPassword

I get the following message:

usage: lt-resetdb [host] [user] [password] [port]

Connects to database "" on localhost using your user
name and no password by default.

and it returns an exit code of 1.
I have also tried various combinations, such as:

../resetdb --socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock matthew myPassword
../resetdb /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock matthew myPassword
../resetdb /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock matthew myPassword 3306

to no avail.

The version information is given below:

I built version mysql++-1.7.40 against the 3.23.58 header files.


Thanks for any help,
Matthew.
