Hi there, I hope this to be useful to somebody. I installed Tomcat 4.1.24 y MySql 3.23 en Linux Red Hat 8.0 Followed the steps within jakarta page: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-how to.html in order to get connected to my database. However, I found the next error: "Cannot load JDBC driver class 'null'." After some troubleshooting, I finnaly got with two problem causes:
1. For some reason, Mysql's JDBC Driver tries to connect to "localhost.localdomain". Which means, that when you specify into the connection string (in my case) "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/DBPrueba" java tries always to connect to "localhost.localdomain". I solved this problem assigning permission to the Database in Mysql for my test user, only that this time for different domain: GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DBPrueba.* TO 'administrator'@'localhost.localdomain' IDENTIFIED BY 'passwd'; 2. Tha Database version I'm using doesn't recognize the default parameter used by <Resource> within server.xml, to setup JDBC driver manager. Which for I had to modifify the next lines: <parameter> <name>driverClassName</name> <value>org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver</value> </parameter> for these ones: <parameter> <name>driverName</name> <value>org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver</value> </parameter> The steps I made here are an adition over the manual found in Tomcat web page. For further reference, please follow th link shown in this mail. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
