Filemaker Pro/MySQL/ODBC issue
by Dan Mosser 13 Sep '14

13 Sep '14

HI, I am currently migrating projects to a new server and have encountered difficulties with the Thomas L. Gravell Watermarks Archive database. As is summarized below, we have moved everything, confirmed that we can update a MySQL database on the new server using FMP and the ODBC driver, but the Gravell database itself is not communicating, despite updating scripts, etc. Has anyone on the list had recent experience with these issues? One problem is that it has been awhile since we have had to deal with a migration and there are some rusty chops! Thanks in advance for any insights. Here's the summary from my tech person: - Moved the MySQL database to the new server. Verified that the database user has all privileges to manage the database. - Verified that Port 3306 is open so the database can be managed remotely. - Installed the Actual Technologies ODBC Driver, created a new DSN for the MySQL database, and verified that we can connect to the MySQL database using ODBC. - Updated the FileMaker Pro scripts to use the new DSN we created. I can confirm that the MySQL database can be modified in FileMaker Pro via ODBC (I created a new FileMaker Pro database to test this), but something in the scripts in the existing FileMaker Pro database is preventing the ODBC connection from working. _____________________________ Dan Mosser dmosser(a)vt.edu _____________________________ Digital index of Middle English Verse (www.dimev.net) Thomas L.

CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT_7th Annual Schoenberg Symposium
by Lynn Ransom 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

**apologies for cross-posting** 7th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age November 6-8, 2014 Collecting Histories In partnership with the Rare Book Department of the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Schoenberg Institute of Manuscript Studies at the University of Pennsylvania is pleased to announce the 7th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age. This year's symposium highlights the work of the Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts by bringing together scholars and digital humanists whose work concerns the study of provenance and the history of collecting pre-modern manuscripts. The life of a manuscript book only just begins when the scribe lays down his pen. What happens from that moment to the present day can reveal a wealth of information about readership and reception across time, about the values of societies, institutions, and individuals who create, conserve, and disperse manuscript collections for a variety of reasons, and about the changing role of manuscripts across time, from simple vehicles of textual transmission to revered objects of collectors' desires. The study of provenance is the study of the histories of the book. For more information and to register online, go to http://www.library.upenn.edu/exhibits/lectures/ljs_symposium7.html
