Hi, I am trying to connect to a db and UPDATE or INSERT, if the update fails, some data. The script saves without a error but once the script it run the Zope Authentication window pops up. After 3 login attempts, i know the password :-P, it produces the stupid error "Error Type: Unauthorized Error Value: You are not allowed to access connect in this context " The Proxy roles are set to authenticated on the script(i have tried manager and owner and all 3 at same time). The script is below. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/python # import MySQL module import MySQLdb # connect db = MySQLdb.connect(host="localhost", user="myUserName", passwd="myPassWord", db="names") # create a cursor cursor = db.cursor() # execute SQL statement cursor.execute("""INSERT INTO charts (firstname, lastname)""") -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any idea's...
