[Zope] Connecting to MySQL

[Nick McDowell]

Here is part (and very unfinished) of some documentation I was writing about
Zope and MySQL.  I am using different version of MySQL however.

Hope it helps.

-------------------------------------------------
Zope and MySQL

Software and versions:

Base software:
	Python1.5.2 (source)
	Distutils-1.0.1.tar.gz

Zope-2.2.5 (source)
	MySQL-3.22.32-1.src.rpm (source)
	MySQL-devel-3.22.32-1.i386.rpm
	MySQL-client-3.22.32-1.i386.rpm

For the MySQL connector:
	ZMySQLDA-2.0.1.tar.gz
	MySQL-python-0.3.0.tar.gz


HowTo:

Build and Install software

·	Configure and install Python - use the "./configure -with--thread" option
as Zope requires multithreading.
·	Install the python Distribution Utilities (Distutils-1.0.1.tar.gz).  This
is required when building the MySQL connector.  The "Distutils" come with
later versions of Python but are not included with v1.5.2
·	Install MySQL, preferably from source, and addition binaries. The
additional binaries are required to compile the MySQL connector later on.
·	Install Zope - instructions in the docs/INSTALL file.  Start it for
confirmation that it works ok.
·	Untar ZMySQLDA-2.0.1.tar.gz in your root Zope dir, this will install two
packages into the products directory, ZMySQLDA and ZMySQLTDA.
·	Untar MySQL-python-0.3.0.tar.gz directly into your products dir.  Follow
the instructions in the README file to build and install this module ie:
		o	$ python setup.py build
		o	# python setup.py install   (you may need to be root for this)
	Errors here most likely indicate your missing /incorrectly installed some
of the additional MySQL libraries or and  Distutils
·	Restart Zope to confirm all is ok.  If any errors are generated recheck
the last two previous steps.

I'm finding it difficult to put all the pieces together to MySQL enable
Zope. I know I need MySQL-python-0.3.x and the ZMySQLDA ... and that to
install those I need distutils ... but I'm running MySQL 3.23.33 on RedHat
7.0 and the distutils setup.py is conking out (I think) because all the
directories are different. Is there an easier way? If not, can someone hold
my hand a bit and tell me what files/directories I need to specify in the
setup.py. I'm fairly new (two days with) Zope, (one day with) MySQL, and
Python. -Don
