[mapguide-users] No Feature Providers in Studio Preview

[Marcus Spurkel]

Well it's Fedora, so I installed an rpm.  Version is 5.0.18.  I'll check 
the dependencies, but is it really necessary to get so low-level that I 
have to edit the providers.xml file by hand?  Not that I mind (I'm a 
programmer after all) but I would have thought that MapGuide would have 
some sort of higher level and/or GUI-based interface for setting up data 
connections.  Or at the very least, shouldn't the fdo make process have 
detected my MySQL installation and taken care of it?

Then make sure the MySQL provider .so is not missing any dependencies (use ldd or something) and restart the server process. Did you compile the MySQL provider yourself, and if yes, what source code are you working with (what date?)
