Ashish Gupta	Thursday 29 September 2005 3:36:01 pm In a shared-hosting environment, where I do not have consle access to the server How Do I - Put my database connection string (which includes a MYSQ DB name/password pair) - Do I get to configure server.xml( Tomcat), if not then is there an alternative where I can use Tomcat Data Source/Connection Pooling? I am considering shared hosting ( using JSP/Tomcat.MYSQL)and I dont know how I will be able to host it, if I use connection polling, As on standalone I have complete control over Server.xml file Thanks a lot.
Łukasz Serwatka	Friday 30 September 2005 1:37:01 am Ashish, you did not provide information which language/technology you use. If Java, then read doc about working with databases. You should have driver for MySQL, JDBC for example: Connection string can look: con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql:///test", "root", "secret"); If PHP, than should works with mysql_connect function. Check manual for PHP. However Tomcat as web server for Exponential is not supported. And, your question is not related to Exponential, and supported by eZp technology.

In a shared-hosting environment, where I do not have consle access to the server

How Do I
- Put my database connection string (which includes a MYSQ DB name/password pair)

- Do I get to configure server.xml( Tomcat), if not then is there an alternative where I can use Tomcat Data Source/Connection Pooling?

I am considering shared hosting ( using JSP/Tomcat.MYSQL)and I dont know how I will be able to host it, if I use connection polling, As on standalone I have complete control over Server.xml file

Thanks a lot.

Ashish, you did not provide information which language/technology you use. If Java, then read doc about working with databases. You should have driver for MySQL, JDBC for example:

Connection string can look:
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql:///test", "root", "secret");

If PHP, than should works with mysql_connect function. Check manual for PHP. However Tomcat as web server for Exponential is not supported.

And, your question is not related to Exponential, and supported by eZp technology.
