Hi everyone,
I am trying to use the charting frontend, i have followed the example given, wrote a test script to make sure perl can connect to a database and it all works fine, but i cannot get the DbLog module to do the connection.
To me, looking at the code there is nothing copying the data from the db.conf file to the dbconfig varible, but am no perl programmer so i might be missing it!
This is my db.conf file:
%dbconfig= (
connection => "mysql:database=fhem;host=10.10.10.2;port=3306",
user => "fhemuser"
password => "fhempassword",
);
and my fhem.cfg line
define myDbLog DbLog /opt/fhem/db.conf .*:.*
Could someone help me out please!
Thank you!
the error i get is:
Use of uninitialized value $dbconn in pattern match (m//) at ./FHEM/93_DbLog.pm line 522.
Use of uninitialized value $dbconn in pattern match (m//) at ./FHEM/93_DbLog.pm line 524.

Can't connect to data source 'dbi:' because I can't work out what driver to use (it doesn't seem to contain a 'dbi:driver:' prefix and the DBI_DRIVER env var is not set) at ./FHEM/93_DbLog.pm line 538
I've got a working dbLog configuration with the following difference: my entry in db.conf looks like this
connection => "SQLite:dbname=/opt/fhem/fhem.db",because
- I use SQLite as a database (you seem to use mysql?)
- my database is running on the same system (BeagleBone) as Fhem, thus I do not specify any host/port parameters
Do the detected differences fit your system setup?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, i don't want to use sqlite as i have a server running 24/7 that has mysql and has lots of storage space so i can keep a long history of event data.
When looking at the code:
my $dbconn= $dbconfig{connection};
my $dbuser= $dbconfig{user};
my $dbpassword= $dbconfig{password};
these lines here don't seem to assign anything from dbconfig, which further down leads to the if else taking the last case of else...
#check the database model
if($dbconn =~ m/pg:/i) {
$hash->{DBMODEL}="POSTGRESQL";
} elsif ($dbconn =~ m/mysql:/i) {
$hash->{DBMODEL}="MYSQL";
} elsif ($dbconn =~ m/oracle:/i) {
$hash->{DBMODEL}="ORACLE";
} elsif ($dbconn =~ m/sqlite:/i) {
$hash->{DBMODEL}="SQLITE";
} else {
$hash->{DBMODEL}="unknown";
Log3 $hash->{NAME}, 3, "Unknown dbmodel type in configuration file $configfilename.";
Log3 $hash->{NAME}, 3, "Only Mysql, Postgresql, Oracle, SQLite are fully supported.";
Log3 $hash->{NAME}, 3, "It may cause SQL-Erros during generating plots.";
}
wish i knew more about Perl!
The variables are assigned in the lines preceding the ones you mentioned:
my $configfilename= $hash->{CONFIGURATION};
if(!open(CONFIG, $configfilename)) {
Log3 $hash->{NAME}, 1, "Cannot open database configuration file $configfilename.";
return 0; }
my @config=<CONFIG>;
close(CONFIG);
my %dbconfig;
eval join("", @config); Your db.conf file doesn't work because there is a comma missing on the line
Zitatuser => "fhemuser"

Thanks ChrisD,
How bloody stupid of me! the old saying, can't see the wood for the trees!
