Ever try to get a MySQL server and Zope running under MS-Windows?
Here's what I had to do. And no, I didn't find this documented anywhere. This was a bit challenging as I haven't really used MS-Windows for anything other than gaming in about 5 years.
1. Install and [don't] start Zope [from source] 2. Install and start MySQL server (I'm using mysqld-opt.exe) 3. Install ZMySQLDA
Might I suggest a little streamlining: [comments in brackets] [if you have C compiler and Python 2.1.2 installed:] 4. Run setup.py install 5. Start Zope. [if you don't have a C compiler:]
1. Install and [don't] start Zope [binary package] 2. Install and start MySQL server (I'm using mysqld-opt.exe) 3. Install ZMySQLDA [4]. Download and install the win32 Python 2.1.2 (to match your Zope 2.5.0's Python) [5]. Try to install MySQL-python (filename "MySQL-python-0.9.1.win32-py2.1.exe") [6]. Copy the MySQL-python files from your Python 2.1.2 installation into your Zope installation's lib\python. [7]. Start Zope.
I can not build MySQL-python for Windows, let alone make an installer; I have neither the tools nor the inclination to do so. If someone thinks they can make a better installer then please contact me. -- Andy Dustman PGP: 0x930B8AB6 @ .net http://dustman.net/andy You can have my keys when you pry them from my dead, cold neurons.
