Answer 1

You need to put the libmysql.dll in the C:\Program Files (x86)\hMailServer\Bin\ directory. If you've installed WAMP, you can get a copy of this .dll from the C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.x.x\lib folder.

Answer 2

if you have a 64bit MySql server installed, using hmailserver, you will have to search LibMySQL.dll and download 32bit file. be warned to avoid error.

Answer 3

1. Go to https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/c/
2. Download Windows (x86, 32-bit), ZIP Archive
3. Extract the downloaded folder
4. Copy the libmysql.dll file from (extracted folder)\mysql-connector-c-6.1.10-win32\lib\libmysql.dll into C:\Program Files (x86)\hMailServer\Bin
5. Right click the libmysql.dll file and click Properties
6. If there is an 'Unblock' checkbox down the bottom of the 'General' tab, check that and click OK
7. Restart/continue with the hmailserver installation

Answer 4

If you already have file libmysql.dll in its place and having the same error then

1. Go to start and search for hmailserver data base setup.

2. configure it as you setup during your installtion but insure to choose.

   • select a new hmailserver default database (to choose the database you have already created)

   • Select default server type- Microsoft SQL Server/MySQL/PostgreSQL (Whichever you configured during installtion)

   • Next Put your database server name/ Port ,Database name(Should be exactly the same that you have created at the time of installation,you can check it by going to your databases in my case phpmyadmin) and click next next you should be able to connect.
