Hi! First of all let me say Thanks! to all who helped me with Zope & MySQL. I guess the problem is that we (a friend and I) have installed and unistalled and installed and unistalled so many versions of Zope, MySQL and the various adapters and interfaces that by now we are getting problems nobody else gets. So we redo from scratch by formatting the disk and installing Linux again. Unfortunately it will have to be Suse 7.1. which might lead us into trouble again. What about the following "workaround": - use the gadfly database first - wait until there are versions of Suse Linux and Zope that can be connected to MySQL from start or have a RPM-installable adapter and interface on the CD? Or there is a Zope-MySQL-connection product available for mere mortals such as me? Will I live to see it? - then replace every Gadfly-database-connection-object with a MySQL-database-connection-object and be done with it Horst _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
