FaqDatabaseConnectivityError2
"Cannot load JDBC driver class 'org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver'" - What do I do ?
Check the following:
- Is your database driver's JAR file available to the server?
For example, if you're using Tomcat, the driver should be in the common/lib folder. If your database driver is not in the server's common/lib folder, your connection pool is unable find it and your application is unable to connect to the database.
- Did you stop and restart the server after you copied the database
driver's JAR file to the server's common/lib directory? If you did not restart the server, it is unable to load your database driver's JAR file.
