[IPT] IPT connection problem

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_BASE_URL: http://www.gbif.se:8080/ipt
IPT_GEOSERVER_URL: http://www.gbif.se:8080/geoserver
IPT_GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR: /usr/share/tomcat5/webapps/geoserver/data
--------------------

Cheers,
Mickaël
