[opencms-dev] installing under debian

[Christoph P. Kukulies]

I'm installing OpenCms 6.2.0 under Debian Linux currently and got
through the apache2 tomcat5 stuff so far but starting the setup
ended in an error coming up saying that I probably haven't installed the 
jdbc connector yet. 
Creating Database Connection
	   	It was not possible to create a database connection with the given parameters.
Please check the Exception below. There can be two reasons for this error:

    * Your database is down, or
    * Your database is not accessible with the given connection parameters.

Be also aware that Alkacon recommends to use the following JDBC drivers for MySQL 4.1.x & 5.0.x:
[mysql-connector-java-3.1.12-bin.jar]

Check that the Jdbc drivers are included in your class path.
   	
Error connecting to database using: "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/".
-------------------------------------------
java.sql.SQLException: Access denied for user: 'root at localhost.localdomain' (Using password: YES) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.checkErrorPacket(MysqlIO.java:2928) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.checkErrorPacket(MysqlIO.java:771) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.doHandshake(MysqlIO.java:1229) at


I got mysql-connector-java-3.1.12-bin.jar from the web
http://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/mysql/Downloads/Connector-J/mysql-connector-java-3.1.12.zip
and the jar file is in that package. Maybe it's more officially available elsewhere.

I put that file in /usr/lib/java/jre/lib to no avail. (I restarted mysql)

Any clues?
