Hello Zack, >Apparently a lot of people have been having trouble getting mySQL+C2 to work >with the 1.4 JDK. I'd try 1.3 and see if that helps any. HTH.
Thanks; that solves it. With IBM's JDK 1.3 my setup worked right away. The reason I used JDK 1.4 is because I don't run X. According to the FAQ, only JDK 1.4 can run in 'headless' mode, and indeed with JDK 1.3 Cocoon doesn't start unless I also run X. So my problem is solved for now, but I'm hoping for a better long-term solution (i.e., no X, and still MySQL access). Thanks everyone!
