AW: [opencms-dev] Forum Module (mvnForum) for OpenCms 6.x available fordownload

Tue Oct 18 13:33:51 CEST 2005

hi Arash,

first of all thanks for the module, althought it does not work here
until yet. 
But the reason why is  just peanuts (almost for sure ... ;-))

Tried to install it with ocms 6.02 according to your description. But it
does not work because the mysql jdbc driver could not be found ... (as
far as I understand the error message further down).

In my installation, there is an actual jdbc-driver under
"%catalina_home%\common\lib" (3.1.11) additionally to the version which
comes with opencms in the WEB-INF\lib directory (3.0.15-ga-bin). As far
as I understand the one under the common directory should be found (and
should be usable) by all deployed webapps. Additionally the one in the
opencms tree should be used first... So I do not get what's the reason
why... ;-(

How the modul is "looking up" the driver? Is it possible (or perhaps a
must) to use the tomcat connection pool ??? 
If so, what exactly do I have to include in the mvncore.xml file?

As you can see, these are the questions of a non programmer ...
Hopefully interesting to otherones too... ;-)

regards and tia for your answer!

               Some time your database server is set connection timeout
too low, such as

connection timeout value
