MySQL Bugs: #42806: Installation of Connector/ODBC refers to non-existant files

Bug #42806	Installation of Connector/ODBC refers to non-existant files
Submitted:	12 Feb 22:20	Modified:	11 Mar 17:58
Reporter:	Harrison Fisk
Status:	Documenting
Category:	Connector/ODBC: Docs	Severity:	S2 (Serious)
Version:	3.51.27	OS:	Sun Solaris
Assigned to:	Tony Bedford	Target Version:

Description:
The binary install Unix documentation for Connector/ODBC says to copy over the odbc.ini
file to /usr/local/etc/.  However, there is no odbc.ini file that comes with
Connector/ODBC.  Instead you need to create this file or modify the one that comes with
unixODBC.

Also the page refers to INSTALL-BINARY which does not exist.  There is just an INSTALL
file.

How to repeat:
Go to:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/connector-odbc-installation-binary-unix.html

Notice the line:

shell> cp odbc.ini /usr/local/etc

Check the tarball, such as:

mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.27-linux-x86-32bit

Notice the files do not exist.

Suggested fix:
Change the cp line to read something about setting up the odbc.ini file.  Remove mention
of INSTALL-BINARY and instead make it INSTALL.

Have fixed the problems as noted, but have not closed this bug yet as entire page really
needs updating.
