Hi, I'm new to zope / plone. I was wondering if someone could help me out. - I installed plone on mac osx (using the binary) and everything works great. - I then wanted to connect to an RDBMS. So I installed mysql on the same box (osx) and that works great. I gave my db root user a password and set up the permissions. - I then installed mysql-python package and that seemed to go well. - I next installed ZMySQLDA by putting it in the the zope python dir and restarted zope - The product shows up. Ican add a "Z MySQL Database Connection" object type no problem. It says the connection is open. - However when I try the "Test" tab, the resulting page always has the following error: _mysql_exceptions.InternalError Sorry, a site error occurred. Traceback (innermost last): Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 150, in publish_module Module Products.Localizer, line 58, in new_publish Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 106, in publish Module Zope.App.startup, line 222, in abort Module ZODB.Transaction, line 135, in abort Module Shared.DC.ZRDB.TM, line 60, in abort Module Products.ZMySQLDA.db, line 328, in _abort InternalError: (-1, 'connection is closed') - My connection string is db@ip username password which all the docs say is correct? Am I missing something? I am running Plone 1.0.5, Zope 2.6.2b5, Mac OS 10.2.6, MySQL 4.0.15 Does anyone have any ideas / suggestions? I've perused the mailing lists and web sites and haven't been able to find a solution that works. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks much, Avni __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
