title: Trouble connecting to mysql server with FIREDAC (Delphi)
body: <p>I am just starting out with Delphi XE5 development and am having A LOT of trouble trying to connect to my mySQL server.</p>
  
  <p>Using the TFDConnection i currently get this error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <blockquote>
      <p>[FireDAC][Phys][MySQL]-314. Cannot load vendor library [libmysql or libmysqld.dll]. The system cannot find the file specified...</p>
    </blockquote>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I have already read the docs on this issue and i have:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>Sourced the LIBMYSQL.DLL from a MySQL Server installation</p></li>
  <li><p>Placed it in the bin directory of XE5 AND referenced it in FDDrivers.ini</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I have also noticed that when i view FireDAC Links in XE5 it has TFDPhysMySQLDriverLink grayed out...</p>
  
  <p>I can connect to SQLlite servers fine.</p>
