I'm presently using Zope (unreleased version, python 2.2.3, linux2) from Debian "Sarge". Right from the get go, I had issues of it not working properly. The first was attempting to run the tutorial, I couldn't becasue it said the Gadfly database wasn't installed, it was. So I got around that, by creating a Gadfly directory in '/var/lib/zope/instance/default/var/'.
Now, I get this error when trying to create the Tutorial instance: 'Invalid connection string: demo'
Any suggestions as how to get around this?
You need some background reading about Gadfly. The connection string corresponds to a "database". Apparently, you do not have a "database" "demo". I do not know how you create such a database (probably it is a subfolder of the "Gadfly" folder). But I remember faintly, that I was able to use Gadfly (years ago) after I read a bit about it... I soon stopped using it because it was not thread safe (in the Zope environment). -- Dieter
