Re: [C1] Installation woes [rant AND request] - PLEASE help!
Hi The logfile created does not show anything when the ESQL tags are not processed; it is empty. Have tried reinstalling all the components; again, everything works fine on the test machine, and not on the current web server - and we have tried to get the version and individual file configurations matching as far is as possible.

Re: [C1] Installation woes [rant AND request] - PLEASE help!
Lajos Thanks - I have actually done all this - tho' I only have just put mysql_comp.jar in $TOMCAT_HOME/lib That's what so frustrating... it all *looks* the same on each machine [settings-wise] but behaves differently! If you could send a copy of whatever files you think are relevant, I would appreciate that. Derek [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/11/2001 09:38:49 Sure we're still running 1.8.2; works for my site and probably will until I ever find the time to upgrade to 2.01. Basically, here is how I got it all to work (1.8.2 w/ Tomcat 3.2.2 MySQL on both Linux Win 98): 1) added mysql_comp.jar to Tomcat's classpath (I just edited tomcat.sh /tomcat.bat, but I suppose you could just throw it in $TOMCAT_HOME/lib 2) edited cocoon.properties and added a line to for the mysql driver: processor.xsp.pool.database.adaptor.DBMM=org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver (add this after the other adaptors: note that DBMySQL is incorrect!). 3) edited cocoon.properties and added the connection info for the pool: processor.xsp.pool.database.default.driver=org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver processor.xsp.pool.database.default.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/mydatabase processor.xsp.pool.database.default.username=myuser processor.xsp.pool.database.default.password=mypass processor.xsp.pool.database.default.maxConnections=3 processor.xsp.pool.database.default.expiryTime=360 4) restarted tomcat Let me know if this still doesn't work I can send you copies of the actual files.

And life was occasionally frustrating, but mostly colorful and satisfying. And then came the Web. Wow! New ideas, new paradigms, and new languages to learn... and boy, did they come thick and fast in a stream of acronyms... HMTL, CSS, JS; followed by XML, JSP, XSLT. I did my best to absorb them all and see how and where they could be used to help those around [non techies, mostly] me to make use (and sense!) of this 'information revolution'. Looming over it all, of course, is the ongoing conflict between Sun [Java] and Microsoft [VB/ASP et al]. Open source vs vendor. Being in a poorish country, with limited resources, OS made financial sense; and the paradigm and philosophy was one that appealed to my nature. But what to use? I did not have the luxury of time to contribute (or, in most cases, even the expertise) to a new area, and needed something that was useful and intuitive to use. Then I found Cocoon - at last, something that tied together everything I had been learning in a meaningful way. I installed it - it worked [pretty much - BUT see below] and I started designing, developing and coding. I scorned those others who were suggesting - dare I say it aloud - M$ tools such as VBScript, ASP or even Oracle Web Developers XYZ; don't be fooled, I said, big companies do not have your interests at heart - OS is the way, the truth... well, anyway, it's good and What We Should Be Doing.
