Dear all, I've been tearing my hair out trying to get this thing to work for the last couple of days and I fear there is no alternative other than to bug you list gurus for some help: Here goes....
I have Tomcat 4.0.1 installed and it's examples run. I have mysql 3.23.46 installed and it is running fine with the necessary grants etc. In my server.xml I have the following section which should establish the connection to the database: <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm" debug="99" driverName="org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver" connectionURL="jdbc:mysql://localhost/universe?user=snike;password=blahdy" userTable="users" userNameCol="user_name" userCredCol="user_pass" userRoleTable="user_roles" roleNameCol="role_name" /> But when I fire up tomcat using the startup.sh script, the following error comes up. This error is extra-weird because we have another machine here with an identical setup and identical entries in server.xml.
