I was having the same issues. Solution for me (windows XP sp2, MySQL
ver14.12 dist 5.0.27 Win32, python 2.4) was as follows:
1. in your project directory (for what you made with tg-admin quickstart) be
sure you've updated your dev.cfg file for MySQL (see ~line 23)
2. download the MySQL module for python (per your verison of python and
mysql)
"MySQL versions 3.23-5.1; and Python versions 2.3-2.5 are supported"
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22307
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22307
That's what worked for me. If I run into more issues, I'm leaning toward
just working off my ubuntu box...
Hope that helps!
