I don't know how to create a null login in MySQL, but I know a better solution. The last time I had a problem like yours I created a user in MySQL and used it connect Zope. In mysql you type: GRANT ALL ON my_database.* TO my_user IDENTIFIED BY my_passwd (The .* part is a wildcard meaning all tables in this database.) Then you can connect Zope using a connection string like this: my_user@localhost my_passwd Good luck, Luciano PS. paul_s_johnson@urscorp.com wrote:
After following several howtos, tracking numerous threads from this list, and spending several days losing my mind, I sense that I am finally getting closer to having Zope and MySQL talking to each other.
SETUP: I am running on Linux with Redhat with MySQL 3.22.32 and ZMySQLDA with ZMySQL-python. The later two are installed such that ZMySQLDA is NOT broken. I installed using the RPMs supplied by Ron Bickers available on his FTP site (thanks, Ron) and followed additional instructions supplied on earlier threads.
PROBLEM: My problem now is I can't find a connection string that works. I understand the connection syntax and tried every possibility. My suspicion is that I am having a permissions problem with MySQL. I found this former list email:
My suggestion would be to set up mysql to accept a null login (no username, no password), create a database in there called "test" and connect with the connection string "test@localhost"
thank u, this was the point to my problem. I have tried a nologin mysql and it worked with database@myhost !!! :) so i know i have a grant table problem in mysql (no big deal - i hope :) )
QUESTION: Being a relative newbie to this whole thing (Linux, Zope, MySQL, etc.), how do I create a null login in MySQL with blanket privleges? Could it still be a faulty ZMySQLDA setup? How do I troubleshoot that possibility?
Thanks,
P. Johnson
