[Zope] Zope & MySQL: one step closer

[Eric Walstad]

Hi Horst,
Before you de-install and re-install, it might be worth while to turn on
Zope debugging, if it's not already turned on, and look for any error
messages logged during Zope's start-up routine.  Those messages might point
to a misplaced shared library or something similar.
If you see any error messages, send them back up to the list.
Good luck.
Eric.
