COMPLETE PUBLIC SERVER SETUP - Jan-2011

[lerxst2112]

If you downloaded the zlib file from the link in the first post and extracted it properly you would have zlib1.dll and some text files in the root directory and 3 directories named include, lib, test. The zlib.lib file is in the lib directory and that is where you should point the compiler.

I use MySQL 5.0.91 and have no trouble with missing files. You might try the older version as it seems you have either installed improperly or the layout and location of files has changed.

You shouldn't ever have to rename files in order to get this to work. If you find yourself missing files it is always going to be that you downloaded the wrong thing or installed it improperly.

This link? For Zlib, go here -
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libp...l.zip/download

Just checked, same one as I previsouy had. There is NO zlib.lib file contained in that zip.

Obvously something has changed.

In the LIB directory, there is:
zdll.lib
zdll.exp
zlib.def

By the way I just went to the link I posted for the download of ZLIB.
I downloaded the zip file it points to and extracted it (TODAY) and it does
contain all the files you need. (INCLUDING the ZLIB1.dll that needs to be
copied over to the windows system folder) (ZLIB1.dll - NOT ZLIB.dll)
THIS FILE -ZLIB1.dll is right in the main extract of the zip file when you
download it. (You can see it when you open up the zip file before you even
extract it all) (I use WinRAR)
Once you extract the zlib folder to your c-drive, and copy that zlib1.dll
you don't need to do anything else with it.
When you are adding the folders to your 2008 express, keep in mind, you
are looking for FOLDER NAMES, not file names.
