You can use whereis to find it. I managed to get the line to execute by entering the full path ( /usr/java/jre1.5.0_02/bin/java -Xmx256m -jar FileIndexer-1.1.4.jar ) The jar file reads a configuration script with the db, user, and pwd. I get this error even when using root as the db user. I am able to work with the database via the shell without any errors or warnings. Any ideas? java.sql.SQLException: Invalid authorization specification message from server: "Access denied for user: 'dms at localhost.localdomain' (Using password: YES)" at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.checkErrorPacket(MysqlIO.java:1997) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.checkErrorPacket(MysqlIO.java:1906) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.doHandshake(MysqlIO.java:954) at com.mysql.jdbc.Connection.createNewIO(Connection.java:1902) at com.mysql.jdbc.Connection.<init>(Connection.java:450) at com.mysql.jdbc.NonRegisteringDriver.connect(NonRegisteringDriver.java:411) at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source) at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source) at com.jamwarehouse.fileIndexer.datastore.FullTextKTDataStore.initialize(Unknown Source) at com.jamwarehouse.fileIndexer.FileIndexer.main(Unknown Source) ** END NESTED EXCEPTION **
