I'm trying to setup DB Connection pooling with roller, but I'm having trouble.
I'm using tomcat 5.5 and mysql 5.x. I've placed a context.xml file in the META_INF directory that looks like this: <Context debug="0"> <Resource name="jdbc/rollerdb" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/rollerblog?autoReconnect=true" username="blevine" password=xxxxxx maxActive="20" maxIdle="3" removeAbandoned="true" maxWait="3000" /> <Resource name="mail/Session" auth="Container" type="javax.mail.Session" mail.smtp.host="smtp-server.example.com" /> </Context> And then created the WAR and deployed it. When I load up roller in my browser (firefox) I get this error: A database error occurred, probably because your database connection is misconfigured. You will have to fix this problem and then restart or redeploy Roller before you can proceed. Here's what happened when Roller tried to establish a connection: SUCCESS: Got parameters. Using configuration type JNDI_NAME-- Using JNDI datasource name: java:comp/env/jdbc/rollerdbSUCCESS: located JNDI DataSource [java:comp/env/jdbc/rollerdb]ERROR: unable to obtain database connection.

I tried it with those in and got the same errors. I copied over the url, username, password, and driverClassName from roller-custom.properties so I'm pretty sure those were right. Anyone have any suggestions?
