Hello,

I was having the same issue, I tried to follow your directions, but I needed to enter my old password in step #6 to proceed. I still got the Error While Copying MySQL JDBC Driver after following the prescribed instructions.

Running Pachyderm_2.1.0.1c

Any ideas? Should I have been able to leave the pass blank in step 6?

Thanks,
Robbie

Make sure that the mysql connector is installed. Look in /apache-tomcat-6.0.20/lib/mysql-connector-java-3.0.17-ga-bin.jar

-S

The file was not there, so I think you are on to something. I downloaded it and placed the file in Java\jre6\lib\ext\mysql-connector-java-3.0.17-ga-bin.jar and added that to CLASSPATH environmental variable. I also put it at /apache-tomcat-6.0.20/lib/mysql-connector-java-3.0.17-ga-bin.jar.

I still get the same error. Did I install it properly? Any idea what my next step should be?

Thanks again,
Robbie

After installing the Connector J component, I learned that my next problem was permissions.

The symptom was that within Apache's webapps directory, the following directories were not being created when I ran PachydermInstaller-x.x.x.xx.jar and I got the error: "Error while copying MySQL JDBC Driver".

apache-tomcat-x.x.xx\webapps\pachyderm_x_x
apache-tomcat-x.x.xx\webapps\Pachydermxx
apache-tomcat-x.x.xx\webapps\resources

The Solution was to run PachydermInstaller-x.x.x.xx.jar via Command Prompt (run as admin). I also created the above directories in advance, so I am not sure if that step had any affect.

This may not be an issue on a windows server, but I was using a laptop an a testbed in this case.

I hope this helps
