[Zope] Zope < - > MySQL -> GOT IT RUNNING!

[Carl Robert Blesius]

Just to let the list know (and people that have run into similar problems):

After a long fight to get MySQL and Zope to talk to one another we got it 
going!!!

This little bit of information:

along with installing Distutils (and other various requirements mentioned 
in the documentation) on a non Zope Python 1.5.2 Version and copying the 
needed folders and files mentioned in the error messages from standard 
python install to Zope python install did the trick (as well as various 
nitty gritty configuration settings because of our "non standard" system 
and system setup).

I am sorry it is not more detailed, but we were about to give up and as a 
last resort started trying some crazy things (without documenting it): and 
like magic... it started to work (and has been running ever since).
