If the Java pages have a problem authenticating with 
the database, then look in the site.properties file at
<br>
<code> /home/www/java/<i>sitename</i>/WEB-INF/classes/gsrc/conf/site.properties</code><br>
and make sure that the <code>jdbc.password</code>
value is set to the <b>apache</b> user password found in
<a href="http://embedded.eecs.berkeley.edu/dopsysadmin/faq/66.html">Where is the MySQL password kept</a></p>

<p>Make sure that the value of the password <b>is not</b>
in double quotes.</p>

<p>If sending email when the user changes their password
is failing, look at
<code>/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4/logs/<i>xxx</i>_log.<i>YYYY-MM-DD</i></code>

<br>If the message is:
</p><pre>javax.servlet.jsp.JspTagException: DecorationTag: Sending failed;
  nested exception is:
        javax.mail.SendFailedException: Invalid Addresses;
  nested exception is:
        javax.mail.SendFailedException: 554 &lt;<ptolemy@bennett.eecs.berkeley.edu>&gt;... Relay operation rejected

</ptolemy@bennett.eecs.berkeley.edu></pre>
Then make sure that you can send email using mconnect.
For example, the following should work.
<pre>andrews.EECS.Berkeley.EDU:root: %C2&gt; mconnect andrews

If it does not, make sure that the

<h2>Resetting password does not work</h2>
Once upon a time, using the reset password page was
not working.  What would happen was that if the user entered
there info and then hit the button, they would get the same page back.

<p>The problem was that <code>resetpassword.jsp</code> had
<code>post</code> instead of <code>POST</code>.  Probably this change was made so that the HTML validator would pass the file.  However, it means that the html was not properly validated.</p>
