I don't know for sure, but in my experience the jdbc urls typically don't have the path on the disk referenced. Rather they usually have the database name listed, or no name (ie default database). So I'd check your docs for interbase and make sure that your url following the slash after the port is correct.
Also, if your database is running on the same machine as the web server then consider using the loopback address instead of the the "real" ip address of the server. Sometimes that'll be more efficient. --mikej -=----- mike jackson [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: Peter O [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, August 09, 2002 10:07 AM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: Servlet to JDBC connection > > > What's wrong with this string?
