[mapguide-users] No Feature Providers in Studio Preview

[Traian Stanev]

An rpm of the provider or the MySQL database? Do you have libFdoMySQL in
the directory where FDO is?
There is an install script for FDO providers that also adds to the xml
file automatically, but since I don't know what exactly you did, it was
easiest to go for the manual way.

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?

I'm not sure. I'd start by adding MySQL to providers.xml on the server.
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?)
