Painful Install

Friday, November 7th, 2003

It took a while to get this up and running. I installed tomcat 5.0.12 beta with Roller 0.9.8. I got the Cannot load JDBC driver class ‘null’ exception over and over again. I was having problems with Tomcat locking up also so I upgraded to 5.0.14 beta when it came out. The I upgraded to Roller 0.9.8.1. Nothing worked. In desperation I started fiddling in the XML files and writing JNDI test cases. Finally I removed all of the old mm.mysql-2.0.14-bin.jars out of Tomcat. It started working but broke another app. I edited the code to use the com.mysql instead of the org.gjt classes, redeployed and all is well.
