[Zope] A tale of two systems....

[Michael Sullivan]

Is there an up-to-date, cogent, step by step
information on hooking 
up a MySQL database to Zope in Windows? 

The documentation I have seen is Linux-centric in a
rather dogmatic 
fashion.  While I use and love Linux at home, at work
i must use 
Windows.  We are currently testing several possible
application 
tools - ColdFusion, PHP4 and hopefully Zope. 
ColdFusion and PHP4 are 
up and running but even after screwing around for a
whole day I can't 
access a MySQL database with Zope.  It's quite
frustrating as the 
Zope "concept" is quite attractive.  However, it is
quite arcane 
install-wise on the Windows platform and very poorly
documented in 
comparison to the other products when it comes to
database setup.


By contrast, I got MySQL on Zope up and running on my
Debian Gnu Linux machine at home with one apt-get
command, walked away for a few minutes and there it
was, ready to use...

Now, is this a comment on Windows vs Linux or on the
quality of installation / implementation on the
Windows side of Zope?
