[Zope] Facing problems with date datatype

[Vikas Mahajan]

Hi All,
I am facing problem with date datatype. I have installed two versions of zope on diff computer. One is a zope 2.1.2 from a binary release and another is zope 2.1.6 i downlodaed as a source release. I am able to get MySQL database connection for source release and not for the one i downloaded as binary.  Now my problem is when i want to insert a datatype in properties of a folder I wporks well with my binary release and not with the one i installed from sourece.  My binary release one takes all of the following formats such as Jan. 07, 2000 jan. 07, 2000 2000/01/07 January  07, 2000 but the one which i compiled fro source takes none of them instead throws following error.
         
 Zope Error

          Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. 

          Error Type: DateTimeError
          Error Value: Invalid date: Jan. 07, 2000
and asks me to search for the problem in the following files



Traceback (innermost last):

Since I want to use MySQL as my database I need to work in source release i.e 2.1.6 from source.
So please kindly help me regarding this matter. All help will be appreciated.
Best Regards and Thanx
