hello, The setup.py file for the MySQL-python will need to point to where your mysql include and library files are. For example on UNIX they usually are in /usr/local/lib/mysql/lib and /usr/local/include/mysql/include, there is an entry for Window$ in the setup.py something like elif sys.platform == "win32": include_dirs = [r'c:\mysql\include'] library_dirs = [r'c:\mysql\lib\opt'] libraries = [mysqlclient, 'zlib', 'msvcrt', 'libcmt', 'wsock32', 'advapi32'] runtime_library_dirs = [] extra_objects = [r'c:\mysql\lib\opt\mysqlclient.lib'] so really you have to make sure that these point to the correct paths. Then in order to check if you can connect to mysql from the python command prompt

...

import MySQLdb

if this works then, and you don't get any traceback errors then you should install MySQLDA into your zope root hth Norman -----Original Message----- From: zope-admin@zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of Garry Steedman Sent: Friday, June 22, 2001 11:52 AM To: Solenn CROGUENNEC; zope@zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] Installation Product have you installed BOTH of the following: MySQLdb or mysql-python: the python/MySQL interface AND zmysqlda: the Zope Database adapter both packages are available on sourceforge (though i suspect, perhaps someone else can confirm, that there are problems on windows?) and are documented, http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python also have a look at the How-To "ZMySQLDA on Win32": http://www.zope.org/Members/philh/mysql cheers, Garry On 22 Jun 2001, at 10:37, Solenn CROGUENNEC wrote: To: zope@zope.org From: Solenn CROGUENNEC <scroguennec@oreka.com> Subject: [Zope] Installation Product Date sent: Fri, 22 Jun 2001 10:37:49 +0100

Hello,

We work actually on the platform Windows. We want to download a product which called 'MySQL Database Interface'. We download the product and we record on the hard disk on C:/Zope/lib/python/products. The problem is, when we restart the server Zope, the product doesn't appear on the list of Products. We thinks there are variables to change on the setup file like include_dirs = ['/usr/include/mysql'] library_dirs = ['/usr/lib/mysql'] but we don't know what directories will put. Could you help us ?

Thanks

Valérie & Solenn
