Bug reference: 3544
Logged by: Scott Harper
Email address: scott@mycellularsessions.com
PostgreSQL version: 8.1.9
Operating system: Debian Linux (2.6.18-4-486)
Description: SQLException from JDBC driver
Details:
I have installed PostgreSQL 8.1 via the Debian package manager (APT) --
installed the package postgresql-8.1.
We are running Sun Java 5, Apache 2, and Tomcat 5.5.
From the discussion at http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html, I have
determined that I should be using the 8.1-410 JDBC 3 driver.
I downloaded the driver, and it is bundled into my servlet's war file in
WEB-INF/lib.
When the servlet makes the DriverManager.getConnection() call, the following
exception is thrown:
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: Something unusual has occured to cause
the driver to fail. Please report this exception.
I wasn't sure to whom I should report the exception, so I started here. :)
I should point out that I have successfully run the same servlet, with the
same JDBC driver, on an equivalent installation on Mac OS X.
Any ideas? Is there anything special I need to know about running JDBC on a
Debian Linux platform?
Thanks,
Scott
