Hi, I have not used a win installation, but did you check if python can talk to mysql? you can do his py startin python
import _mysql
If you get an error/traceback then this is the problem, you will need to install MySQL-python correctly, it needs distutils as you are using python 1.52. If you upgrade to python 2.1, then you would not need to instal distutils as it comes with it. Also ensure that the setup.py file in MySQL-python points to your mysql libraries. to check if MySQLDA connects to mysql, again from the python prompt, try to import it. hth Norman ========================================= "Eternity is Time Time, eternity To see the two as opposite Is Man's Perversity" The Book of Angelus Silesius -----Original Message----- From: zope-admin@zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of a_oki@yahoo.com Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2001 2:17 PM To: zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] ZMySQLDA product does not load Hello, This is the files I am using for my build on Windows 2000 Zope2.3.3 MySQL 3.23.39 Python 1.5.2 ZMySQLDA-2.0.7 MySQL-python 0.9.0 ...and I get an error message on the DOS prompt, although Zope still starts but without the ZMySQLDA product (See end of file) Any help in tackling this so I can load the ZMySQLDA product would be well appreciated.
