OK, it will ;^) I finally left off the set up args and just typed $sh ../install and all is well. I then went back and changed my access. Why the install args worked with beta 2 and not beta 3 I don't understand, but it's serving now. DAve.

Earlier, I had mentioned to the Zope crew that a number of existing web products make use of ports 80, 81, 8000, 8080, 8888, etc., and that this would cause problems for people who were running on machines where these ports were already reserved by other processes. My suggestion was to use 9673. Why? The mnemonic is Z-O-P-E on many touch tone telephones. At any rate, the install program (I think) now allows you to specify the port of your choice.

- It's alive! (making ZMySQLDA works)

Hello! Ok, so I finally got both Zope and the ZmySQLDA to work... For those who don't read documentation like me, here's a quick review of the different steps required: -download and extract Zope beta 3 -cd to your newly created Zope directory structure -launch the install process with "python wo_pcgi.py" -download and extract the ZmySQL source package from the top directory of your Zope installation -download and extract the mySQL package INTO lib/python/Products/ZmySQLDA (I thought I had to install it separately with the other Python dynamic modules; why not just include it in the tar file???) -from there, customize the Makefile if needed and run make -customize your own access file in Zope top directory with username:password -launch ./serve.sh -point your browser to http://localhost:9673/manage (not 8080; is it me or did this change from beta 2 to beta 3??) and enter correct username/password -if you have not already done so, launch your MySQL database as root with safe_mysqld -you can now use the "test" database normally included in MySQL (at least 3.21.33) to see if everything works ok; it's a quite nice example about air flight management -first, create a MySQL database connection with the following connection string: test nobody (I had to look into the source to find out that the connection string is "database username password" all separated by space) -You can now add your own Z MySQL methods in the Zope manager. Use this simple query: "select * from flight" as an example -You can now test it directly in the manager with the tab "Test". Nice! -You should now have a nicely formatted table of flights -Enjoy! BTW, the FAQ in the doc subdirectory of Zope makes for excellent reading even if you don't have any particular question... I would also recommend that you "use the source Luke" since I couldn't find any doc about ZmySQL and the source it's copiously commented ;-) Good luck everyone, -- Ricky Ng-Adam Montreal (Quebec), Canada [Powered by Linux!] Need an analyst-programmer or a network administrator? http://www.dsuper.net/~rngadam/

RE: [Zope] - ODBC on Win32

Brad wrote: > Reading the README (after zope subsequently fails to start) > tells me I need sql.dll, perhaps available from the Python.org site. I believe this was a release mistake on our part. I grabbed a copy of sql.dll and added it to the ZODBCDA page with a note explaining it. I also downloaded it and tried it here and it worked (just make sure you go into the Windows Control Panel and add an ODBC source). If you get it to work, please report back to the list. Also (subtle hint) use the Collector for reporting bugs. It makes it easier for others to see that a bug is reported. It appears that we'll have to work harder on testing releases by creating a machine from scratch. In this case sql.dll was probably installed in system32, meaning that our release testing went fine. --Paul Paul Everitt Digital Creations paul(a)digicool.com 540.371.6909

- FYI: Added text for mySQL DA
by Paul Everitt 20 Dec '98

20 Dec '98

I added the following to the mySQL DA download area: Note: if you are having trouble getting the mySQL Python extension to work or to compile, try getting the source from <a href="http://www.python.org/ftp/python/contrib/Database/">python.org</a> and doing a fresh compilation. The source distribution below expects the source to the mySQL module to already be present. I hope it states things right... --Paul Paul Everitt Digital Creations paul(a)digicool.com 540.371.6909
