Lost connection to Database.

Hi All

Due to problems with Kernel updates I have rebuilt my system using the last ISO disk I had, (2014-12).

I re-installed the ISO formatting the complete drive, updated the system via Synaptic to bring it up to date and restored all my backed-up data to /home. I then restored the MySQL folder under /var/lib that contains my Database.

I then updated LO to the latest version = 5.0.2.2

But now when trying to connect to my database I get the error "The JDBC driver could not be loaded"

mysqld is set in Services to run on Boot, Skip networking is commented out in /etc/my.cnf.
Current driver in Base Options is set to - com.sun.star.comp.sdbc.JDBCDriver (with pooling enabled).
Any suggestions please??

PCLOS 32-bit. KDE,

Thanks

Hi Ian,

But now when trying to connect to my database I get the error "The JDBC
driver could not be loaded"

Any suggestions please??

You have a JDK/JRE installed, recognized by LO (Tools > Options >
Advanced) and the appropriate mysql jdbc connector driver, I take it ?

These packets are not installed by default in most distribs, I wouldn't
know about PCLOS.

       But did you tell LO where the JDBC driver is located? Tools > Options > Advanced >Class Path > Add Archive. The browse to where the driver is located. Click Open. Click OK to close Class Path and again to close the dialog. Close LO. Restart LO.
