I'm trying to run Roller under my new Kattare account, but seem to be running into a JAR conflict. I've sent a couple of inquiries to support, but haven't heard back. I was wondering if anyone else has successfully setup a Roller account with Kattare lately.
My account is configured with a MySQL database is version 4.1 (dc2-mysql-01.kattare.com). In the Tomcat common/lib for my web server (khufu), there is a MySQL Connector/J JAR, which is version 3.1. Of course, there is a known issue with MySQL 4.1 and Connector/J 3.1. http://rollerweblogger.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=InstallationFAQs#ref-InstallationFAQs-13 I tried placing a Connector/J 3.0.17 JAR in the Roller WEB-INF/jar, but no joy. Per the suggestion of another Roller use, I also tried putting the 3.0.17 JAR in ~/common/lib, but, again, no joy. I guess my next alternative might be to try Postgres instead of MySQL. -Ted.
