Thanks for trying to help but 1. I am not using Oracle, I am using PostgreSQL. 2. Changing the tomcat port from 8080 to something else has nothing to do with Tomcat not beeing able to connect to the database.
I need to connect tomcat to PostgreSQL database, i have to write Jdbc driver and in the proper location. the jsp page does pickup the postgresql jdbc drivers, but when my jsp page tries to open a connection with the database it "timed out" thanks _____________________________________________________________ Visit our Caribbean Community at http://www.islanderonline.com _____________________________________________________________ Promote your group and strengthen ties to your members with [EMAIL PROTECTED] by Everyone.net http://www.everyone.net/?btn=tag =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
