Hi Mickael,

So, something on the machine is blocking Tomcat from talking to mysql ("Caused by: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused").

It could be something like a firewall or perhaps you have a rule in the /etc/hosts.deny ?
I have never had to but I read that adding 127.0.0.1 to /etc/hosts.allow might be required.

Cheers,

Tim

Hello Markus

The issue of data dir outside not working was an issue of ownership.
This one is solved.

About the connection, the IPT interface provides med with "Could not
establish db connection: Communications link failure Last packet sent to
the server was 0 ms ago."

The log file is compressed and attached to this mail.

Thanks,
Mickaël

Mickael,
real sorry from my side. Seemed that I've uploaded a wrong snapshot  
version to our ftp server. The war there didnt give any message to me  
neither.
I've updated the file and the current ftp war (same name) does work  
for me now. But I really had to remove tomcats cached work folder  
files in order to be taken up, pretty stupid, but well.

You mentioned pointing IPT to a data dir outside didnt work?
That would be a serious issue, but I cant reproduce that. If that  
still is true for you, can you please let us know what exactly happens?

cheers,
Markus

Markus,

I undeployed IPT from the manager interface of tomcat. Then I uploaded
the RC2 file from the same interface. This removed all the settings.

Since then I restarted tomcat numerous times. I removed the cache this
morning but nothing changed.

Now I just did what you wrote below, but I copied back the data
directory because IPT didn't like having dataDir pointing to another
place.

So when I come to my existing resource, under Source Data/SQL Data
Sources I get the following message:
"No Database connected. Please adjust connection parameters to use SQL
sources"

The I click on Edit, all my parameters are in place and I save it.
Then I come back to the previous page I get the message
"Resource has been updated successfully." but the message under SQL  
Data
Sources is the same as before.

This is what is logged after starting tomcat, login and getting to the
resource and saving the database information, and it's not much:

INFO main-AppConfig.reloadLogger(416) | Reloaded log4j settings
from /usr/share/tomcat5/webapps/ipt/data/logging/ipt-developer.xml
INFO main-AppConfig.<init>(57) |

IPT_DATA_DIR: /usr/share/tomcat5/webapps/ipt/data
IPT_WEBAPP_DIR: /usr/share/tomcat5/webapps/ipt

IPT_GEOSERVER_URL: http://www.gbif.se:8080/geoserver

Mickael,
do you get any feedback
a) in the UI when saving a sql connection
b) in the logs?

if not, how did you upgrade your installation?
You might want to try:
- stop tomcat
- copy your existing data dir somewhere else
- remove the exploded webapps folder
- remove the cached version in tomcat/work/Catalina/localhost/ipt
- start tomcat with ipt.war inside webapps
- stop tomcat
- update webapps/ipt/WEB-INF/classes/ipt.properties to point to your
saved data dir
- start tomcat

thats the procedure for upgrading to a new IPT version while keeping
your data if its still living within the default webapps folder.
Did you do this and still get no message when saving a not working db
connection?

Markus,

The RC2 didn't help much, I'm totally blind as to find where the
problem
comes from.

I was wondering if you could tell me which files are involved in the
process so I can get a better understanding?

Cheers,
Mickaël

Mickael,
the latest IPT war snapshot can be found here:

ftp://ftp.gbif.org/projects/ipt/downloads/ipt-1.0RC2-SNAPSHOT.war

This version logs connection problems and also uses in addition to
tomcat logging an ipt.log file inside the data/logging dir.
It also shows a simple message if you configure a bad connection in
the manager UI.
If you have time, please use this to find out more about your mysql
conenction problem.

thanks,
Markus

Mickael,
I looked at the source again and the IPT really doesn't log any
errors when changing the db connection.
This is obviously not very helpful, so I've updated the code  
already
to do so. I will upload a new war file today, so if you like you  
can
try this version and hopefully find the reason for your connection
problem. Will post the links later.

many thanks,
Markus

Hej Mickael,

Can you please post the logs you get when you configure and save
the
database connection?

Many thanks,

Tim

Sorry for posting at the wrong place.

The database name is correct, and IPT runs on the same server as
the
mysql database. This database works perfectly with our TAPIRLink
provider.

The MySQL server version is 5.0.45 and Connector/J has version
5.1.7. It
has been tested against Java 1.6.0 (OpenJDK) and against Sun
Java 6
Update 12. None of this worked.


Cheers,
Mickaël

Hi Mickael,


Please always post questions to the list, to help us keep an
FAQ up
to
date and allow for others to search etc.


I have just tested it myself with the following:


Database connection URL: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/portal
Database User: tim
Database Password: password


and it worked... so, to get started debugging your issue may I
please
ask some basic questions:


- You wrote "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/databasename" - is  
your
database name correct?
- You are running the IPT on the same machine as the database?
- You are using mysql?


Cheers,


Tim

Hi Tim,

I'm trying to create a resource in IPT but I encounter a  
problem
while
creating the link to the database: in "Source Data" it is
written
under
"SQL Data Sources" I have the message "No Database connected.
Please
adjust connection parameters to use SQL sources" while it
keeps my
settings correctly. I hope I wrote the jdbc string well:
jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/databasename.

I surprised because I am using the same parameters as with
TAPIRLink
in
which I don't have any problem. I don't think I should make  
any
changes
in my grants on my database.

Cheers,
Mickaël
