[Kmymoney] Centos 6.5 issue when launching KMM with remote mysql database

[Louis-Philippe Allard]

Hello,

I used to run bleeding edge kmymoney on a slackware workstation but  
since I moved to centos 6.5 and installed the kmymoney of the epel  
repository (ver. 4.5.3-1.el6.1) I am having a annoying issue with  
connecting to my remote database.

Basically under slackware I launched KMM, entered my database  
connection parameters (username, SQL server IP, password and DB name)  
and connected.  Upon relaunching KMM, it would present me with the  
database connection window and pretty much everything would be  
pre-filled except the password that I would enter and then connect.

Now under centos, when I launch KMM, the database connection window  
appears and is also pre-filled except for the password which I  
manually enter, then I hit OK and get

Error in function int MyMoneyStorageSql::upgradeDb() : Error  
retrieving file info(version)
Driver = QMYSQL, Host = centos, User = xxxxxxxxx, Database =
Driver Error:
Database Error No -1:
Text:
Error type 0
Executed: SELECT version FROM kmmFileInfo;
Query error No 1046: No database selected QMYSQL: Unable to execute query
Error type 2

If I hit cancel instead of OK, then go to file > connect to DB and  
manually enter everything and click OK, I can successfully vconnect to  
my DB.

Can someone check whats going on?  with the snippet "upgradeDb() :  
Error retrieving file info(version)" I believe that KMM cant find the  
file version info because the DB needs to be updated.

Am I correct?

Best regards
