[Zope] Z MySLQDA

MySQL is very finicky about the connection string. In :

Database connection String:  database myname mypassword

You have to be careful about the 'database'. Sometimes localhost creates 
problems. Try using the valid IP or hostname address specified in the 
my.ini or my.cnf file instead of 'db@localhost' or just 'dbname'.

Also make sure that the user 'myname' that you are using is specified 
with the right hostname since you are using X. So in the mysql/mysql db 
check the users table and there should be a record that should have 
'myname' AND the 'hostname' is set to 'localhost' or '%'. If there is 
none (highly unlikely) you might want to copy one of the records and 
change the hostname to the IP or hostname of the machine.
