I am trying to access a MySQL database in my C++ code. I have a feeling I may have messed something up along the way, so I'll outline what steps I took and my setup:
- I installed MySQL Connector/C++
- I installed MySQL XDevAPI
- I installed XAMPP and set it up to run a MySQL server
- I created a database with some tables in phpMyAdmin
- I linked the Connector/C++ and MySQL Server libraries and includes in my C++ project
- Then I added the following code:
#include <mysqlx/xdevapi.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace mysqlx;
int main() {
try {
Session sess(33060, "user", "password");
}
catch (const Error & err) {
std::cout << err << std::endl;
exit(1);
}
return 0;
}
I tried this with the port 33060 as I was told that was the default, and I tried it with the port 3306 as that is what it says the port is on XAMPP.
Using the first gives this error message: "CDK Error: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. (winsock:10061)" Using the second gives this error message: "CDK Error: unexpected message"
One thing that I suspect may be a problem is that the MySQL Server and C++ Connector files are in my Program Files on my C drive, while XAMPP seems to have a different set of MySQL files in its installation folder on my D drive. Did I somehow end up with 2 separate installations of MySQL or is there something else going on that I fail to understand? If so how do I handle this?
