Hi László,

Zope2.7 by default will not start if there is a problem loading a product. 
You can adjust settings for this in Instance/etc/zope.conf

The reason mxODBCZopeDA cannot start is because the licence file and 
library is in the wrong path. The actual Python path is actually Zope/bin 
and not Zope/lib/Python. Move the mx folder to the lib/site-packages folder 
and restart.

Good luck!

Charlie
