hi folks,
my MT has been working fine since I set this up, but all of a sudden I cna no longer access the admin areas to update my blogs, i get the following message:

Got an error: Unsupported driver MT::ObjectDriver::DBI::mysql: Can't locate DBI.pm in @INC (@INC contains: e:\domains\s\startrekuk.com\user\htdocs\cgi-bin\extlib e:\domains\s\startrekuk.com\user\htdocs\cgi-bin\lib c:/Perl/lib c:/Perl/site/lib .) at e:\domains\s\startrekuk.com\user\htdocs\cgi-bin\lib/MT/ObjectDriver/DBI.pm line 9.

I have not changed or deleted any of the MT files, it just literally seems to have stopped working

Has anyone else experienced this problem? The system is working fine looking at the articles from the user's perspective - i just cant update the entries.

When you run mt-check.cgi, does it report that the necessary modules for mySQL are still present? You might have to contact yoru host to see if htey've made any changes in that regard.

thanks maddy.

just checked and this is the only thing missing:

DBD::mysql...
Your server does not have DBD::mysql installed. DBI and DBD::mysql are required if you want to use the MySQL database backend. Please consult the installation instructions for help in installing DBD::mysql.

looks like the host might have deleted the mysql database
but the news articles still appear on the pages.
