Thread: web-app not working after upgrade 7.4 to 8.1
Hello experts,
I have recently upgraded my database from 7.4 to 8.1 and migrated all data.
In order to be able to use my web-app, I replaced the old jdbc.jar with
postgresql-8.1-407.jdbc3.jar in WEB-INF/lib/.
Restarted Tomcat (4.1.31) - and later even redeployed the webapp.
I keep getting no database connection - as if the postmaster were not
started.
Apparently I have ignored something basic - but no idea what to look at.
This is actually my first fully working webapp using Struts and Tomcat
on Linux - so maybe my problem is really a Tomcat issue.
I have attached part of my coding of the Struts-Action, the exception
occurs with the message "Presumably database is down."
Any hint is apreciated.
-----------------------------------
public ActionForward execute( ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response )
throws Exception
{
HttpSession sitzg = request.getSession();
ConnectionPool pool = (ConnectionPool) sitzg.getAttribute( JDBC );
if (pool == null)
{
try
{
pool = new ConnectionPool( driver, dburl, username, password,
initConn );
sitzg.setAttribute( JDBC, pool );
}
catch ( SQLException e )
{
System.out.println( e.getMessage() );
System.out.println( "Cannot connect to database " + database );
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch ( ClassNotFoundException e )
{
System.out.println( e.getMessage() );
System.out.println( "Falscher Treibername in den Properties: "
+ driver );
e.printStackTrace();
}
if (pool == null)
{
throw new SQLException( "ERROR: NULL pool created! Presumably
database is down." );
}

Its possible that your upgrade missed up the postgres configuration.
Verifiy if the postgres is waiting for connections at port 5342.
As root try:
netstat -ntlp | grep 5432
You should see somenting like:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5432
0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3668/postmaster
tcp 0 0 :::5432
:::* LISTEN 3668/postmaster
If not, postgres is not waiting for connections and you'll get the "no
database connection" error.

I tried it - that is not the problem. What I am going to do, is write a minimal web application that connects to the database, and see if I can get to the core of the problem. Since this is a hobby and I have to do it in the evening besides professional work and family affairs, it will take me some time. Thanks anyways.
