Dear All, I already put mysql database driver (jar file) in directory catalina_home\common\lib and changed 8080 to 3306 but I got the error "java.sql.SQLException: Unable to connect to any hosts due to exception: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect". What should be the matter? I put the database name, teh in directory catalina_home\webapps\ROOT\. Is this correct? In which directory should I actually put the database name? Please help. I'm running out of time! Thank you so much. Yours Sincerely, TEH

BTW, as far as i know, the default port for MySQL database is 3306, so you might wanna change that. 8080 is for Tomcat, not the database. Seems like not many new users of connection pooling went through Apache's documents. Please don't waste their effort, take a look at it before you start to attempt anything.
