Hello! Ok, so I finally got both Zope and the ZmySQLDA to work... For those who don't read documentation like me, here's a quick review of the different steps required: -download and extract Zope beta 3 -cd to your newly created Zope directory structure -launch the install process with "python wo_pcgi.py" -download and extract the ZmySQL source package from the top directory of your Zope installation -download and extract the mySQL package INTO lib/python/Products/ZmySQLDA (I thought I had to install it separately with the other Python dynamic modules; why not just include it in the tar file???) -from there, customize the Makefile if needed and run make -customize your own access file in Zope top directory with username:password -launch ./serve.sh -point your browser to http://localhost:9673/manage (not 8080; is it me or did this change from beta 2 to beta 3??) and enter correct username/password -if you have not already done so, launch your MySQL database as root with safe_mysqld -you can now use the "test" database normally included in MySQL (at least 3.21.33) to see if everything works ok; it's a quite nice example about air flight management -first, create a MySQL database connection with the following connection string: test nobody (I had to look into the source to find out that the connection string is "database username password" all separated by space) -You can now add your own Z MySQL methods in the Zope manager. Use this simple query: "select * from flight" as an example -You can now test it directly in the manager with the tab "Test". Nice! -You should now have a nicely formatted table of flights -Enjoy! BTW, the FAQ in the doc subdirectory of Zope makes for excellent reading even if you don't have any particular question... I would also recommend that you "use the source Luke" since I couldn't find any doc about ZmySQL and the source it's copiously commented ;-) Good luck everyone, -- Ricky Ng-Adam Montreal (Quebec), Canada [Powered by Linux!] Need an analyst-programmer or a network administrator? http://www.dsuper.net/~rngadam/
