Am actually taking a different angle to try to get this to work.

Apparently, the JDBC.pod has documentation on starting the server It says the below

"Place the dbd_jdbc.jar file, log4j-1.2.13.jar, and your database's JDBC driver on the machine where you wish to run the server.

=item 2

Add dbd_jdbc.jar, log4j-1.2.13.jar, a log4j.properties file, and your database's JDBC driver to your classpath. Follow any other instructions which came with your JDBC driver. For example, a type 2 JDBC driver may require that the database's native libraries be added to your path or library path."

So - my class path is C:\jars

And, in my class path do I have the dbd_jdbc.jar? Yes, I have that file. Do I have the log4j-1.2.13.jar? File log4j-1.2.13.jar? Yes, I do have that file. The last item, do I have the JDBC driver? That, I do not know - so, at this point, I need to look into the JDBC driver next.
