Question

I’ve got two servers, one with CentOS and the other with Debian.

In Debian I’ve installed tomcat6 with the last MySQL in Lenny. I only downloaded the MySQL JDBC Driver and drop it in $CATALINA_HOME/lib. It worked perfectly.

Now, in CentOS5, I want to do the same but It doesn’t work.

I’ve installed Tomcat6 (it’s working) and mysql-server (it’s working too).

I’ve tried with the same /lib folder and nothing (of course I’ve got the same JDK, and the same Tomcat version).

The error always is the same:

org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot load JDBC driver class 'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'

It’s like it doesn’t find the mysql connector, but It’s almost in it place.

Any suggestion?

Answer 1

Resolved!

Before of put manually the connector in $CATALINA_HOME/lib I installed from yum the mysql-connector-java package.

I’ve deleted from /usr/share/java/ the bin, restarted tomcat, and worked!.

Thanks all!
