TomCat + Connector/J + MySQL problem
843854Mar 18 2003 — edited Apr 2 2003Hi,
I've been searching the mailist but can't seem to find a problem similar to what i'm encountering.
First here's a background of my setup
MySQL server = mysql-server-3.23.54a-3
TomCat = jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18
ODBC = Connector/J 3.0.6-stable
Base OS = RedHat Linux 7.3
JSDK = j2sdk1.4.1_02
$JAVA_HOME = /path/to/j2sdk1.4.1_02
$CATALINA_HOME = /path/to/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18
Im making a program which will need to get the data from MySQL, All TOMCAT documents i've read all said to put my ODBC Connector (mysql-connector-java-3.0.6-stable-bin.jar) under $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib, but if I put the file there, TOMCAT is not starting, don't even have anything on the logfile. I also tried putting the connector/j on my application lib ($CATALINA_HOME/webapps/MYAPPLIC/WEB-INF/lib), Tomcat runs but my application is not. I also tried playing with $CLASSPATH to no avail.
Anyone experienced this ? or am i just missing something ?
Thanks,
Mark
