I don't have access to the machine that has the problem right now, but I looked at the other machine (the one that works), and I strongly suspect you discovered my problem. There is a link in /usr/share/tomcat5.5/common/lib pointing to the postgres JDBC jar in /usr/share/java, and I think I put that link there back then, but forgot to write this down, so didn't do this on the second machine. I will try this tonight and will report back, but I'm very confident that this is the cause of the problem. > > As many lights on this list never tire to point out, packages > for specific OS'es put things a bit all over the place, with > soft links in even more places, which makes it difficult > sometimes to figure out where things really are and what > points to what.

I would much prefer to use the Debian package if possible, for the reasons you cited. However, I'm aware that using a "standard" installation has advantages, too. Anyways, you just helped me understand my Tomcat installation a little bit better, so thanks a lot! Regards Stefan -- Psssst! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört?
