Thread: Technical Documentation and Community Login

Technical Documentation and Community Login

From
Guy Rouillier
Date:
I was attempting to get info to answer a question on this mailing list.
  I found a document that sounded appropriate here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/techdocs.71.  Color me dumb, but I can't
figure a way to download the document "Apache 2.0, Tomcat 5.5, WARs &
PostgreSQL 8.1 JDBC DataSources on Windows XP".  When I click on the
link to the document, it just brings me back to the same page.

So then I figured perhaps I needed a community login.  So I created one
3 or 4 days ago, but I'm still waiting for the confirmation email to
arrive.  Is that server stuck?

If you back up the url chain to  Community Generated Articles, Guides, and
Documentation you will be taken to the following page:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/techdocs.2

If you follow the Apache 2.0, Tomcat 5.5, WARs & PostgreSQL 8.1 JDBC
DataSources on Windows link at the bottom under Web Development you should
be able to access the articles your interested in.

Regards,
George

Thanks, George, that does indeed work.  I got to the original article I
quoted by entering "tomcat jdbc" in the search function.  That article
is top on the list.  Does this indicate that the search index is outdated?

I also still haven't received an email in response to my userid submittal.

Not really. The page on the 71 link is there, and it's empty. The search
engine has indexed the title of it, and the summary. I have no idea
where the content really is supposed to be - Rob, do you by any chance know?

Strange, but you could've been caught up in the server change we did a
couple of days ago.  Please try the lost password feature at
http://www.postgresql.org/community/lostpwd to get a new copy of it.

and if that does not work either please tell us what email address you
used to sign up(and a exact date if possible) - the one you are using
here is not in the logs for the last few days.
