[opencms-dev] could no connect to database via:jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/

[Frederico Luis Cabral]

Hi all.

Thanks a lot for your help. I solved the problem .... I was
using MySQL 4.1.5 and OpenCms requires 4.0.x or 5.0. It 
was a stupid mistake of mine, because the Documentation says it
clearly and I didn´t see ... 

Regards everyone and thanks again.
Fred
