[Zope] problem connecting to mysql

[Helmut Ahninger]

hy

i installed the mysqldb sucessfully (just exactly like the howto on
http://www.zope.org/Members/alanpog/zmysqlda_steps
explains) and checked all version numbers.

i restarted zope and the Product ZMySQLDA is not broken

then i want to make a database connection with the
z_mysql_database_connection
i type as connection string:    database user password

and get the following result:

invalid connection string:
