[egenix-users] mxODBC Zope DA - simple example ?

[Richard Shea]

That's great thanks. 

Having imported ACME into the root Zope folder I'm now getting a
response when I request ...

http://myserver:8080/Plone/ACME/admin

... and also when I request ...

http://myserver:8080/Plone/ACME/training

It's actually blowing up in response to that second request but that
(I'm reasonably certain) is only down to my not yet having installed the
database. Bit late here to do that now - will try tomorrow.

thanks again for your help.


Richard.
