Hi! I'm trying to get a Zope-Server to work with a remote MySQL-Server (both Suse-Linux, but I could use Windows2000 as a Zope Server if necessary) - and that seems to be a hell of a problem. Until now everything went fairly easy, but now I seem to have to: - install Python 1.5 or greater first (how do I do that?) - ensure that I have MySQL installed on your machine, INCLUDING THE FILES AND LIBRARIES NECESSARY TO DEVELOP MySQL APPLICATIONS (but I don't know what these F&L's are and I need the MySQL-Server on a remote machine) - build Zope from source - download and install MySQLdb, a newer driver to MySQL than the one that comes with ZMySQLDA - patch ZMySQLDA: copy ZMySQLDA.patch to the top-level zope dir and then patch -p1 <ZMySQLDA.patch it (what does that mean?) Isn't there an easier way? Confused Horst _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
