Hello, The problem is that the connection string is a URL, it shouldn't have the path to the mysql binary in it (should just be "mysql://tiger:goDB@localhost/mydatabase") Also, Galaxy and drupal are different and unrelated pieces of software, and Galaxy should have its own dedicated database. Galaxy should work with mysql, but we highly recommend postgres. On Jun 9, 2010, at 6:55 PM, wenqing zhang wrote:
