Hi, Which Zope version are you using? V 2.2.0 had a bug with the connection of the DB. I just looked into V 2.2.4 and the problematic code seems to be fixed although I've not tried this version yet. Maybe you should upgrade. If this is not the case, then ... hmm no idea. Ralph On Fri, 24 Nov 2000, you wrote:

Hello,

I am running Zope 2.1.6 under Linux/RH6.2 on a PC. The Sybase server is version 11.9.2 on a Solaris station with DNS name "sybstat" on port 2040 (or sybase server name "sybtest") and the database is named "picsou". When I try filling in the form to add a new Sybase DA connection, the result is always: Invalid connection string. I have try with this parameters : 1-database: picsou, password: mypasswd, server: sybstat, user: myuser 2-database: picsou, password: mypasswd, server: sybstat:2040, user: myuser But this give the same answer ...

On Linux, I have the libraries, include files and all running client for Sybase and I can run isql from my PC on the Sybase server on the solaris station very well using the parameters of the (2-) set. So the connection to the Sybase server seems to work ...

How could I check what happens inside Zope, or am I mistaken for the parameters values ?

Thanks for any help. Tony
