Connecting a Zope-Server to a MySQL-Server

Hi! I'm trying to get a Zope-Server to work with a remote MySQL-Server (both Suse-Linux, but I could use Windows2000 as a Zope Server if necessary) - and that seems to be a hell of a problem. Until now everything went fairly easy, but now I seem to have to: - install Python 1.5 or greater first (how do I do that?) - ensure that I have MySQL installed on your machine, INCLUDING THE FILES AND LIBRARIES NECESSARY TO DEVELOP MySQL APPLICATIONS (but I don't know what these F&L's are and I need the MySQL-Server on a remote machine) - build Zope from source - download and install MySQLdb, a newer driver to MySQL than the one that comes with ZMySQLDA - patch ZMySQLDA: copy ZMySQLDA.patch to the top-level zope dir and then patch -p1 <ZMySQLDA.patch it (what does that mean?) Isn't there an easier way? Confused Horst _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

I cant remember if someone wrote a script to do this. I need to transform quite a lot easily so was going to write a quick script to do it, unless someone has done one already... Cheers. -- Andy McKay.

zwiki install help

Ok, I have exhausted the help and archive documents... what is the deal with installing the zwiki product and zwikiwebs product? Can someone give me the exact steps and what version of zope and what version of python I need? I am not sure I follow the whole procedure, but I end up with broken object links when trying to add a wiki. But I am sure I am not installing things right. Sometimes to do the smallest of small things requires so much effort.. wow. Thank you. Sincerely, David
