Hi all,

Well, I'm getting closer...!

It would seem that the configuration settings in my config xml file are now all correct, and that I can (presumably) establish a connection to my database, given that if I vary any of the parameters in my config file from those which are correct I get a huge stacktrace of error messages...

However... I can't actually connect. When I try to connect using a username which exists in the database I get;

Status: Connecting to 127.0.0.1:2121...
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Response:       220 Service ready for new user.
Command:        USER steve
Error:  Connection closed by server
Error:  Could not connect to server
Status: Waiting to retry...

If I try using a 'bogus' username I get;

Status: Connecting to 127.0.0.1:2121...
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Response:       220 Service ready for new user.
Command:        USER fred
Response:       331 User name okay, need password for fred.
Command:        PASS ***
Response:       530 Authentication failed.
Error:  Could not connect to server

Now I used the sql dump from the site to create my table structure, so I know that should match the config... my user steve has the following in the database;

userid                  steve
userpassword    testTest
homedirectory   /Users/stevewinter/
enableflag              1       
writepermission         1
idletime                        0
uploadrate              0
downloadrate    0
maxloginnumber  100
maxloginperip   100

Within my config I've got <db-user-manager encrypt-passwords="clear"> which I believe matches what is (currently) in the database...

Sorry to be bothering you all again...

Thanks for any guidance...

Cheers
Steve

Hi Ashush,

Your clue about the MySQL jdbc driver was enough to get me the next step of the way...! I downloaded mysql-connector-java-5.1.7-bin.jar and added that to the /lib folder as well, and the server now starts...!! just need to figure out the password hashing now, and I think I might have cracked it...

I'm going to write up some additional instructions for this which I'll forward to the project developers with the suggestion that they add them to the stand-alone config instructions for using the server with MySQL (when I get it working ;-)

Cheers
Steve
