title: Tomcat 6 can't find mysql driver
body: <p>There is a similar question here but regarding the class path.
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1585811/classnotfoundexception-com-mysql-jdbc-driver">ClassNotFoundException com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</a></p>
  
  <p>I've had everything working great until some days ago. Suddenly my little application can't find the mysql driver. And i don't understand why (really I've checked everything)</p>
  
  <p>I got the driver jar in the WEB-INF/lib, but tomcat just seems unable to find it.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone got any ideas why?
  I'm using Ubuntu with tomcat 6 and mysql installed from the synaptics packadge manager</p>
  
  <p>The error that is giving is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've even changed the permissions into 777 to see if it could be invisibile, but it isn't :(</p>
