Upgraded to tomcat 6...jasperserver how to start

[ronedog]

I've been using jasperserver 3.7 for a few months on tomcat 5.5  I wanted to upgrade to tomcat 6.0.29 but I'm sort of lost as to getting jasperserver to work on my linux box.  I copied all the folders and files from "tomcat5.5/webapps/jasperserver" to the new install on "tomcat6/webapps/jasperserver" then I shut down tomcat5.5 and restarted tomcat6, but when I run the jasper reports it doesn't load anything, doesn't even connect to jasperserver.

Do I have to run the jasperserver.bin again from scratch, or are there some config files I can just change in the new install?  I'm afraid it will overwrite all my database stuff...is there just a way I can copy all the files under "tomcat5.5/webapps/jasperserver" directory where I put everything, into the new tomcat6 webapps/jasperserver directory and have it work?

Thanks in advance.

It might be your mysql jdbc driver. The location that you put it has changed between tomcat 5.5 and tomcat 6.

In tomcat 6, there is only the <tomcat>/lib folder for jars. This is where the mysql jdbc driver jar should go.
