Hi, Zope is currently being installed on the Unix machines at my uni but it won't be available for a while. However, I have set up a mySQL database in the Dept. and installed Zope on a Dept. machine (Windows 95). I can only access the database from uni so I must have a database adpater setup on this machine. I have seen the mySQL DA on Zope.org but I understand that it "does not support win32 platforms at this time". I need database access ASAP so can anyone offer any advice? Thanks very much, Lee

There is a HOW-TO for this: How-To: ZMySQLDA on Win32 Search for it on www.zope.org. I run Zope and mySQL (3.23.28-gamma) on Win95. Advice; download the files as specified in the how-to. I tried to use the .dll file that we're installed with mySQL - crashed Python/Zope. Also, remember to store Python files in correct Python directory if you have installed more than one version / installation of Python. Best regards Petter Enholm Snapper
Hi, Lee I got zope and mysql working together last night on win2k. I used the instructions in http://www.zope.org/Members/philh/mysql (Thanks, Phil Harris!) I did have to use the custom dll and pyd mentioned there. http://www.google.com/search?q=mysql+zope+win32 might have more clues if this does not meet your needs. To answer your next question, the connection string is like 'db@host username password' hth, -- Jim Washington Lee Reilly CS1997 wrote:

I came across links that recommended recompiling both MySQL and the MySQL DA. I did so without too much difficuly. The batch compile scripts did not work, but compiling through the MicroSoft IDE did work. The source code I pulled down required the Microsoft compiler, not gcc++. I still have the download files. I could also send you the results of my compilations. I do not remember the URL's I used to get these files, but it was probably through the mysql web site. Lee Reilly CS1997 wrote:
