[Helma-user] New Helma User - database configuration problems

[Robert Gaggl]

hi kevin,

i don't know what version of mysql-server resp. mysql-jdbcdriver you're 
using, but in all of my db.properties (and in the tutorial) the line 
specifying the driver looks like this:

myDataSource.driver   = org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver

did you look in helma's logfiles for any complaints? of course, if you 
have logDir set to "console", you should see it there...

hope that helps
robert
