| Download and install the Mysql JDBC driver |
This release does not package the Mysql database JDBC driver that is required by OpenVPMS to talk to a Mysql database installation. This is due to license restrictions on the Mysql connector.
Using your current OpenVPMS-1.1 installation you can copy the necessary files from this installation to the new 1.2 installation and Tomcat using these instructions:
- In the openvpms-release-1.1\lib folder find the file mysql-connector-java-5.1.5-bin.jar to openvpms-release=1.2-Beta-1\lib folder.
- Copy the same file to your tomcat installations shared\lib folder.
