Hello: I'm presently using Zope (unreleased version, python 2.2.3, linux2) from Debian "Sarge". Right from the get go, I had issues of it not working properly. The first was attempting to run the tutorial, I couldn't becasue it said the Gadfly database wasn't installed, it was. So I got around that, by creating a Gadfly directory in '/var/lib/zope/instance/default/var/'. Now, I get this error when trying to create the Tutorial instance: 'Invalid connection string: demo' Any suggestions as how to get around this? -- Stephen --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the Americas Cup, France is accusing the US of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon'" --unknown

Build Zope from source instead of using those binary packages. Less weirdnes, less problems, less hassle. jens

This isn't the first time, that someone has replied to me offlist, (By the way, why are people responding privately? I read the list, so please send to the list, it's also desirable to have the question answered publicly for archival reasons, no?), suggesting I install from source. -- Stephen --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the Americas Cup, France is accusing the US of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon'" --unknown

You need some background reading about Gadfly. The connection string corresponds to a "database". Apparently, you do not have a "database" "demo". I do not know how you create such a database (probably it is a subfolder of the "Gadfly" folder). But I remember faintly, that I was able to use Gadfly (years ago) after I read a bit about it... I soon stopped using it because it was not thread safe (in the Zope environment). -- Dieter
