=ERROR REPORT==== 5-Feb-2010::22:29:24 ===And being the smart ass that I am, I went searching on the net instead of simply installing OpenSSL.
Unable to load crypto_drv. Failed with error:
"The specified module could not be found."
OpenSSL might not be installed on this system.
{"init terminating in do_boot",{{case_clause,{error,{shutdown,{crypto_app,start,[normal,[]]}}}},[{webmstn,ensure_started,1},{webmstn,start,0},{init,start_it,1},{init,start_em,1}]}}
Here's a very educational post I found on finding if a specific module is installed and loading its DLLs with erlang. This guy had the same problem as me and he finally solved it by installing OpenSSL for Win32! Surprise!

I have a problem with trying to use the mysql driver available on google code (http://code.google.com/p/erlang-mysql-driver/)
I have the windows installation of erlang (tried both with R12B-5 and R13A) on my PC running on Windows XP.
When try to connect to my database it fails.
I have searched the web for hints and found others with similar problems. It seems that the crypto driver is not compiled or linked properly for my machine.
Somewhere on the web I found the following test to verify if crypto works:
4> crypto:start(),
4> crypto:sha("abc").

On my machine I get the following:

I found some other information on the web on how to check if the crypto_drv.dll was loaded properly.

Looking at this is looks like the file location is correct but the file can not be loaded.
Any suggestions what to do?
Is the crypto_drv.dll not correct linked/compiled for my machine?
If so where can I find a new?

Well at least it was educational...
