OK I have a strange problem that I have FINALLY narrowed down and hoping someone can help me resolve please.
I am using the latest stable nightly MonetDB5 with SQL on Fedora core 8.
If I run merovingian and then try to connect to my database using JDBC through my Java app, I get this error returned by JDBC:
"Maximum number of redirects reached, aborting connection attempt. Sorry."
Please run: java -jar jdbcclient.jar --database=yourdb -Xdebug here, and send me the resulting monet_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.log file.
What does this 'maximum number of redirects reached' mean exactly? Why would I get this problem when using merovingian but not when using MonetDB? How can I resolve this or troubleshoot things further? I tried searching the web for this error message but didn't come up with anything related to monetdb.
Merovingian has to "redirect" you. It passes you through, but for JDBC it feels more like a redirect. In your case something gets foobared, causing infinite redirects. I noticed that your system does not have openssl and/or libpcre available. The first might cause this behaviour if something is really messed up in the code. So, please send me the logfile.
