[egenix-users] Plone 3.1, Buildout, and MX ODBC Zope DA

If you are using the collective.recipe from svn you are going to drive  
yourself nuts... It took me 2 weeks to figure out that that recipe is  
just for the python mx product. We need Zope version.

here's what i did and it is working great. not sure where you are at:

make sure that you have Unix ODBC installed and functioning.

download the MX ODBC Zope DA product from engenix. Make sure you use  
the correct version UC 2 or 4.

license file has to be placed within /opt/Plone-3.1/zeocluster/ as  
mxodbc-licenses.zip

Unzip it in any directory. move the mx folder to your src directory  
under /opt/Plone-3.1/zeocluster/src

Under Zopey I added the following. (Zopey = zope instance's python  
interpreter located at /opt/Plone-3.1/Python-2.4/bin/python)

extra-paths = ${zope2:location}/lib/python
		        src/mx

This way python can find the mx parts to function.

Now move mxODBCZopeDA folder to the products folder.

Make sure permissions on all files are the same as you plone user  
(guessing chown -R plone:plone *)

restart zeo/zope etc and check you products setup in the control panel  
looking for mxODBCZopeDA & mx (not sure if that shows up) or look at  
the page of your database connection in the zmi.

hope that helps..

Regards
