Hello all; I'm in need of some help in setting up my environment correctly. I have mysql 5.0, tomcat 6, and am running tomcat through apache2.
I downloaded mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar and put it in /usr/local/tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.14/lib There is also a copy in ...webapps/examples/WEB-INF/lib/, not sure if thats correct I did this also: export setCLASSPATH=/usr/local/tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.14/lib/ mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar:$CLASSPATH As you can see, I'm pretty clueless as to what to do. I am inexperienced with configuring tomcat so this seems very complex to me. Here is the best info I could find after a few hours of searching the web: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/connector-j-usagenotes-j2ee.html#connector-j-usagenotes-tomcat This is for tomcat5.5, not tomcat 6. Not sure whats supposed to in place of the (...) after <Context either. Would it be safe to follow these directions even though I have tomcat6 ? I'm starting to realize that sometimes it's better not to install the latest versions of software, as there's often less info about them. I'm not sure if its ok to add Context elements to the main server.xml file like that in tomcat6. >From the docs i read at the Apache-Tomcat6 site, it seems to indicate that it isn't. Not sure if I need to configure any other .xml files either. I've run across info that says you need to add a <resource> element somewhere. Any info would be greatly appreciated, even if its just pointing me to some directions for configuring tomcat6 for mysql. Thanks in advance. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/how-to-configure-%28server.xml%29-for-mysql-dev-with-tomcat-JDBC-tp14793219p14793219.html Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
