I am trying to setup a Z MySQL Database Connection to hit a local mysql server and keep getting errors. When I try to login with the following connection string: varex varex varex I get this error Error Type: OperationalError Error Value: (1045, "Access denied for user: 'varex@localhost' (Using password: YES)") If I try varex@10.4.4.78 varex varex I get this error Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: server_capabilities I can login either way via the mysql command line. I can also use the python-mysql adapter from the pyton runtime that came with Zope D:\Python_Mysql\examples>d:\website\bin\python deirdre.py Color number 1L is red Color number 2L is blue Color number 3L is yellow I do not know how to test teh Zope Mysql DA outside of Zope. Anyway I am running Win98 Zope 2.3.0 (from Zope-2.3.0-win32-x86.exe) mysql on windows 3.23.28-gamma-debug ZMySQLDA-2.0.5.tar.gz MySQL-python-0.3.4.tar.gz Any pointers on what to do next? -Aaron =================================================================== As Isaac Newton would say now: If I see further than others, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants too dumb to patent their discoveries.
