Hi, I want to add a ZODB MountPoint for an ape MySQL-Storage (My environment: MySQL-Server version 4.0.0-alpha-nt, Zope 2.7, WinXP). The MySQL-Server is running and I added a database named 'ape'. Trying to add a MySQL-connection to the Zope root object I always get an "Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'ape' " Error if I use just 'ape' as connection string. A connection is possible with a user from the acl_users. So I have some questions: 1. What should be the id for that MySQL-connection? 2. What user have to be added to acl_users? 3. What should be the connection string? Whenever I try to add a ZODB MountPoint I get the below error: Can anybody give some hints how to solve that? -- Thanks, Elena The error traceback: Error adding ZODB MountPoint Error Type: OperationalError Error Value: (1044, "Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'ape'") Error error_tb: Traceback (innermost last): * Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 100, in publish * Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply * Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 40, in call_object * Module Products.ZODBMountPoint.MountedObject, line 283, in manage_addMounts * Module Products.ZODBMountPoint.Mount, line 120, in _test * Module Products.ZODBMountPoint.Mount, line 86, in _getOrOpenObject * Module Products.ZODBMountPoint.Mount, line 70, in _getMountedConnection * Module Products.ZODBMountPoint.MountedObject, line 138, in _getDB * Module DBTab.DBTab, line 96, in getDatabase * Module DBTab.DBTab, line 113, in _createDatabase * Module Zope.Startup.datatypes, line 172, in open * Module Products.Ape.datatypes, line 48, in createDB * Module Products.Ape.datatypes, line 36, in open * Module apelib.zodb3.storage, line 44, in __init__ * Module apelib.core.io, line 55, in open_connections * Module apelib.sql.dbapi, line 291, in connect * Module <string>, line 0, in ? * Module MySQLdb, line 63, in Connect * Module MySQLdb.connections, line 115, in __init__ * Module MySQLdb.connections, line 41, in _make_connection OperationalError: (1044, "Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'ape'")
