jboss web-client deployment failing

[pud734]

I apologize for sounding like a broken record as I have read the other forums and tried numerous configurations before posting this message.

Below is the current configuration (upgrades were done by completely uninstalling the previous versions and the re-installing):

Windows XP SP2
Java JDK 1.5.0_04 (upgraded from 1.4.2_07)
MySQL 4.1.13 (upgraded from 4.1.9) - installed at c:\MySQL

My JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to the JDK installation.

extracted the installation to C:\alfresco

MySQL db_setup did not run out of the box, modified the db_setup to add root pw (i.e. -u root -pmypassword on all commands). Also ensured during MySQL install that "allow root remote access" was selected.

Is there anything else I may be overlooking that would cause this deployment to fail????

I posted the stack trace below (I didn't put the full stack trace since the same one is posted in other threads, please let me know if I should)

I also looked at the web.xml but didn't see anything out of the ordinary that would cause it to fail.

A deployment failure is normally due to the database connection, have you verified that you can connect to MySQL with the "alfresco" username and password outside of the appserver i.e. from the command line?

Yes, please go ahead and post the rest of the stack trace here or post the URL to another post with the same stack trace you are getting.

I am encountering the same problem, and I can conncet to the db with alfresco/alfresco.

Sorry to waste such valuable board space.  I am chastizing myself for my own incompetence.  In the readme, it clearly states to download the mysql version WITHOUT the installer. 

Did this and everything works fine.
