Here is part (and very unfinished) of some documentation I was writing about Zope and MySQL. I am using different version of MySQL however. Hope it helps. Nick ------------------------------------------------- Zope and MySQL Software and versions: Base software: Python1.5.2 (source) Distutils-1.0.1.tar.gz Zope-2.2.5 (source) MySQL-3.22.32-1.src.rpm (source) MySQL-devel-3.22.32-1.i386.rpm MySQL-client-3.22.32-1.i386.rpm For the MySQL connector: ZMySQLDA-2.0.1.tar.gz MySQL-python-0.3.0.tar.gz HowTo: Build and Install software · Configure and install Python - use the "./configure -with--thread" option as Zope requires multithreading. · Install the python Distribution Utilities (Distutils-1.0.1.tar.gz). This is required when building the MySQL connector. The "Distutils" come with later versions of Python but are not included with v1.5.2 · Install MySQL, preferably from source, and addition binaries. The additional binaries are required to compile the MySQL connector later on. · Install Zope - instructions in the docs/INSTALL file. Start it for confirmation that it works ok. · Untar ZMySQLDA-2.0.1.tar.gz in your root Zope dir, this will install two packages into the products directory, ZMySQLDA and ZMySQLTDA. · Untar MySQL-python-0.3.0.tar.gz directly into your products dir. Follow the instructions in the README file to build and install this module ie: o $ python setup.py build o # python setup.py install (you may need to be root for this) Errors here most likely indicate your missing /incorrectly installed some of the additional MySQL libraries or and Distutils · Restart Zope to confirm all is ok. If any errors are generated recheck the last two previous steps. ------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: zope-admin@zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of Donald Braman Sent: 14 February 2001 13:56 To: zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] Connecting to MySQL I'm finding it difficult to put all the pieces together to MySQL enable Zope. I know I need MySQL-python-0.3.x and the ZMySQLDA ... and that to install those I need distutils ... but I'm running MySQL 3.23.33 on RedHat 7.0 and the distutils setup.py is conking out (I think) because all the directories are different. Is there an easier way? If not, can someone hold my hand a bit and tell me what files/directories I need to specify in the setup.py. I'm fairly new (two days with) Zope, (one day with) MySQL, and Python. -Don _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
