RE: [Zope] MySQL connection woes
One other bizarre symptom: when I test the database connection with a INSERT query it works and inserts data into the designated MySQL table in the query, although there is no indication that it is working in Zope. I changed the user table for the MySQL user cited in the connection string so that all privileges are on and still no luck. P.

Remember to run "mysqladmin >flush-privileges" after making changes to the user and db tables. This last part I did not know, thanks! Ok, I am getting closer. I finally found a connection string that Zope accepts, but now when I test the connection with a query like "SHOW TABLES;" or a SELECT query it I get the message: "There was no data matching this Z MySQL Database Connection (connected) query." - even though I know these tables exist. The connection says that it is open and it will only accept connection strings of databases that really exist in MySQL. INFO: MySQL user name: root hostname: www.myhost.com password: none Zope Connection string: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root In the grant tables there is the following entries: In user: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with no privileges In db: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with all privileges for mydatabase.* except for Grant_priv One other parameter that may have a bearing: the box's name is station99.ispname.net even though it hosts www.myhost.com (or is it the other way around?). Any suggestions why the connection is not working properly? ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
Re: [Zope] MySQL connection woes
I don't know how to create a null login in MySQL, but I know a better solution. The last time I had a problem like yours I created a user in MySQL and used it connect Zope. In mysql you type: GRANT ALL ON my_database.* TO my_user IDENTIFIED BY my_passwd (The .* part is a wildcard meaning all tables in this database.) Then you can connect Zope using a connection string like this: my_user@localhost my_passwd Good luck, Luciano PS.
