I'm using Linux, not OSX, so there will likely be differences, but shouldn't be too much as OSX is Mach/BSD based.
I'm using connection pooling, so I've got commons-collections.jar, commons-dbcp.jar, commons-pool.jar as well as mm.mysql-2.0.14-bin.jar in $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib. I connect to a datasource with the following code ... public Connection getConn (String appl) throws SQLException { DataSource datasource = null; try { Context initialcontext = new InitialContext(); datasource = (DataSource)initialcontext.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/" + appl); } catch (NamingException e) { throw new SQLException(e.getMessage()); } try { conn = datasource.getConnection(); } catch (SQLException e) { throw new SQLException(newMsg, e.getSQLState(), e.getErrorCode()); } return (conn); } My context for my app is ... <Context path="/site" docBase="site" debug="0" reloadable="true"> <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" prefix="site." suffix=".log" timestamp="true"/> <Resource name="jdbc/thought" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/> <ResourceParams name="jdbc/thought"> <parameter> <name>factory</name> <value>org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>username</name> <value>root</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>password</name> <value>admin</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>driverClassName</name><value>org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>url</name><value>jdbc:mysql://10.0.0.4:3306/thought</value> </parameter> </ResourceParams> </Context> My database name is "thought", my username is "root" and my password is "admin". Substitute your own as required. The appropriate section of my web.xml file is ... <resource-ref> <res-ref-name>jdbc/thought</res-ref-name> <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type> <res-auth>Container</res-auth> </resource-ref> I'm not a MySQL expert. Your grant statement looks funny to me because I'm not used to seeing the /* syntax. Not saying it's wrong. For all of my MySQL questions I go to the New Riders book, MySQL, by Paul Dubois. That's about all I can tell you other than my app's been running under both Weblogic and HPAS for the last 9 months. I finally got it going under Tomcat this weekend using the info above. Now if I can just figure out how to front end Tomcat with Apache I'll be done with it. Good luck Steve -----Original Message----- From: Jack Park [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, July 07, 2002 8:09 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Mac OS X, Tomcat 4.0.4, MySql "configuration denies access" Thank you! I just upgraded to 2.0.14 with no change in behavior. I suppose I am a bit confused, and perhaps a bit of detail on what I have done might help. I open mysql with DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql:///mydatabase","nexw","") where nexw is the username and there is no password. I have already used two different grants: grant all privileges on mydatabase/* to nexw@localhost; <a guess because the next try didn't work grant all privileges on mydatabase/* to [EMAIL PROTECTED] <which works on wintel and linux server.xml has this context for the program: <Context path="/wiki" docBase="wiki" reloadable="true" debug="0" trusted="false" > </Context> I am not aware of anything else I need to tell tomcat, particularly since that context statement works on both WinME and Linux, and this is OS X. Among the things I have tried is to create a Mac User called "nexw", with no password and no root privileges. Perhaps OS X requires that, which means this my problem is less a tomcat problem and more a Darwin-user (ignorance) problem. Looking at mysql:user and mysql:db, nexw is clearly a registered (with mysql) user with granted privileges, for both localhost and for localhost.localdomain. That summarizes the problem, thus far. Maybe that will animate more ideas. Thanks again. Jack At 05:46 PM 7/7/2002 -0600, you wrote: >2.0.8 is a very old driver.
