Hi, I have just recently went through this and was able to get it to work (with alot of help from Charlie Clark). But I used 0.9.2.win32-py2.1.exe since this is what Zope is using for it's Python. First load MySQL - mysql-3.23.54-win.zip Next load Python 2.1 - Python-2.1.exe Next, perform the following: This is from "Crosbie Fitch" - http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=621106&forum_id=70461 which provides a fix. By: locquet ( Bertrand LOCQUET ) RE: Install Win32 Pythonware Distro 2002-10-03 07:36 I found a solution Before installing MySQL-python-0.9.2.win32-py2.1.exe Just add an entry to you register base : [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.1\InstallPath] @="C:\\Program Files\\WebSite\\bin" Replace the default value @= with the path to you python.exe installed with Zope. Copy the following files from my Python 2.1 directory to c:\zope\lib\python: CompatMysqldb.py CompatMysqldb.pyc CompatMysqldb.pyo _mysql.pyd _mysql_exceptions.py _mysql_exceptions.pyc _mysql_exceptions.pyo MySQLdb (the entire directory) Install 0.9.2.win32-py2.1.exe and unzip the tar ZMySQLDA-2.0.8.tar.gz to the \zope\lib\python\product area. Restart Zope. I had a bad file in the ZMySQLDA-2.0.8.tar.gz where I had most of my problems. Good Luck. -----Original Message----- From: zope-admin@zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of b.nguyen@chime.ucl.ac.uk Sent: Monday, January 20, 2003 11:38 AM To: Chris Withers Cc: zope@zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] Problem for extracting long text with zsql method? Hi Chris, Thanks for the suggestions. Sorry for my typing mistake in my first email, I am actually using Zope 2.6.0. I have installed the suggested modules ZMySQLDA-2.0.8.tar.gz and MySQL-python- 0.9.2.win32-py2.2.exe. But I got the following error : ...Zope could not import Products.ZMySQLDA Traceback (innermost last): Module OFS.Application, line 541, in import_product Module Products.ZMySQLDA, line 91, in ? Module Products.ZMySQLDA.DA, line 92, in ? File Module Products.ZMySQLDA.db, line 89, in ? ImportError: No module named _mysql I have seen other people posted the same error message in the mail archives, but I didn't see a suitable solution for it. Would you have any idea? Anyway, if anyone has solve the problem, please email me. cheers, Bonnie On 20 Jan 2003 at 15:24, Chris Withers wrote:

I am running Zope 2.0 in my machine with platform Win XP. I have succeed in connecting Zope to mysql database (which is currently held in another machine, Unix server) by using ZODBCDA-3.1.0b2-win32-py21.

Why not just to ZMySQLDA (you'll need mysql-python too) directly: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python

I'd echo Deiter's comments about upgrading to 2.5.1 or 2.6.0...

cheers,

Chris
