Z MySQL Database Connection

The Z MySQL database connection is used to connect Zope to the actual MySQL database.

If you have installed the ZMySQLDA package correctly, you will see “Z MYSQL Database Connection” in the drop down menu located at the top right corner of the ZMI.

When adding a new database connection you should place it in the folder where you will be using it.

Under the property “Enter a Database Connection String” your settings should look similar to this:

Enter a Database Connection String: database@host username password

If you get an error using the DNS name of your MySQL server, try using its IP address instead.
