since MySQL is indeed essential we should give it another try - I remember that I had problems with the location of the files too but after I get through this I'm quite happy with performance and stability of the product so at least it should be worth the effort.

Thank_you_very_much!!!

I would suggest as the next step: look for _mysql.so - is it anywhere on your system ? If yes, copy (or make a symlink) of _mysql.so in your /home/httpd/ZopeInstallation/Zope_software_home/lib directory and restart Zope - be sure, that the user starting zope has proper acces rights. If you have ZMySQLDA already installed it should work this way.

I believe the problem has to do with the name of the module in question. Here's the traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/httpd/ZopeInstallation/Zope_software_home/lib/python/OFS/Application.py", line 563, in import_product product=__import__(pname, global_dict, global_dict, silly) File "/home/httpd/ZopeInstallation/OtherProducts/ZMySQLDA/__init__.py", line 106, in ? import sys, os, Globals, DA File "/home/httpd/ZopeInstallation/OtherProducts/ZMySQLDA/DA.py", line 108, in ? from db import DB File "/home/httpd/ZopeInstallation/OtherProducts/ZMySQLDA/db.py", line 106, in ? import MySQL, regex, sys ImportError: No module named MySQL

If you don't find _mysql.so you have to install the mysql-Module again - you can either use your "standard"-python on your machine and create a symlink/copy as described above later or install it with the python-interpreter which comes with Zope - that should be in /home/httpd/ZopeInstallation/Zope_software_home/bin -

So, should the symlink be to ./bin or ./lib? TIA, BenO
