[Opensource] Deploying Expresso without a "default" database

[Wise, Malcolm]

Hi Max,

The database can be called whatever you like, it is just the context name in
expresso-config.xml that needs to be 'default'.  For example, here is a
snippet from my expresso-config.xml:

  <context name="default">
		<description>Expresso</description>
    <jdbc
    	driver="com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybDriver"
	    url="jdbc:sybase:Tds:12.345.678.99:5000/expresso"
	    connectFormat="1"
			login="mylogin"
			password="mypassword"
			cache="y"
			useNullOnCreate="y"
	
escapeHandler="com.jcorporate.expresso.core.db.DoubleQuoteEscapeHandler">
		</jdbc>
.....

My database name is 'expresso' as specified in the url attribute.  This is
for a Sybase database, but I think the principal is the same for mySQL.

Subject: [Opensource] Deploying Expresso without a "default" database


I've just got a hosting plan for my expresso application and am almost
ready to deploy it. Like most hosting providers, mine (eapps.com) uses a
shared mysql server. They do not allow me to set-up a database by the name
of "default". I have tried before to use expresso with a different
database name but have always come unglued. It seems that expresso needs a
"default" database to start up initially. AFter that it then allowed me to
use a different database name.

Is this the case, or am I doing something wrong. Can one deploy an
expresso app to a server without a default database?

Thanks for the help,
Max
