Hello, I've been quietly following the development of Zope and I'm VERY impressed and happy to see such a wonderful tool available as open source. I've been anxiously awaiting the release of DCOracle and the ZOracle database adapter and was overjoyed to see them arrive last week. Unfortunately, I've run into a little snag which I was hoping someone could help me through. I downloaded both DCOracle and the ZOracle DA (then realizing the ZOracle DA has DCOracle in the src directory...) I extracted the ZOracle DA product to the <Zope_Home>/lib/python/Products location and I then compiled the DCOracle piece in the <Zope_Home>/lib/python.Products/ZOracleDA/src directory. I ran the DCOracle_test.py file and got no errors. Having thought all was well I moved the Buffer.so and oci_.so shared libs to the <Zope_Home>/lib/python/Products/DCOracle directory. When I restarted Zope, the product appeared to be installed correctly as it wasn't 'broken' (no tracebacks), but when I tried to create a connection I got this traceback: ------------------------------------------------------------- Invalid connection string: webtools/webtools Traceback (innermost last): File /local/app/dc/Zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 879, in publish_module File /local/app/dc/Zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 595, in publish (Info: /Development/manage_addZOracleConnection) File lib/python/Products/ZOracleDA/DA.py, line 121, in manage_addZOracleConnection (Object: Navigation) File /local/app/dc/Zope/lib/python/Shared/DC/ZRDB/Connection.py, line 139, in __init__ (Object: RoleManager) File /local/app/dc/Zope/lib/python/Shared/DC/ZRDB/Connection.py, line 168, in edit (Object: RoleManager) File /local/app/dc/Zope/lib/python/Shared/DC/ZRDB/Connection.py, line 212, in connect (Object: RoleManager) File lib/python/Products/ZOracleDA/db.py, line 127, in __init__ File lib/python/Products/ZOracleDA/DCOracle/ocidb.py, line 65, in __init__ BadRequest: (see above) ------------------------------------------------------------- I have Zope being published through PCGI. I have an apache webserver which is running as a user which 'knows' where ORACLE_HOME so the PCGI process should 'know' this too. Did I just miss something obvioius? Any help is greatly appreciated, and once again thanks for a GREAT tool! Dave -- ---------------------------------------------------- David R.
