In attempting to configure a beta4 install, I am using a MySql database. I made the appropriate changes to james-database.properties, and added the mysql-connector.jar to the conf/lib directory as outlined at http://wiki.apache.org/james/V3ConfigTutorial. At first, instead of adding the jar to setenv.bat (running on windows), I did nothing, since the readme in the conf/lib/ directory says all jars in that folder will be added to the classpath (and setenv.bat performs 'set CLASSPATH_PREFIX=../conf/lib/*'). When I tried to run, James died without throwing any errors.
I then added the jar explicitly to setenv.bat, as outlined in that webpage. Still no dice. Next, I copied the mysql connector jar to the james lib/ directory and adding the jar explicitly to the classpath in wrapper.conf thusly: ...(other classpath additions)... wrapper.java.classpath.155=%REPO_DIR%/mysql-connector-java-5.1.8-bin.jar Then I ran, and James started fine (at least as far as I can tell, I'm still working through a number of configuration issues). This leads me to believe that either setenv.bat is not being properly called, or the jars in conf/lib/ are not being added to the classpath as stated by the readme in that dir Am I doing something wrong, or are others having this issue as well? Thanks, Kevin Dion
