Hey Guys,
I’m looking for some help regarding the steps I have to follow to setup
UCanAccess on my Ubuntu box for a small ColdFusion site that uses MS Access
for a db. I have everything working in terms of lucee but I can’t seem to
figure out how to get the UCanAccess datasource to connect to my MS Access
db. Here is what I’ve done so far:
- I downloaded the ucanaccess.zip file and extracted all jar files and put
them in /opt/lucee/lib/ folder.
- I’ve renamed hypersonic-hsqldb.jar to hypersonic-hsqldb_old.jar
- I tried using hsqldb.jar that came with the ucanaccess.zip file but it
didn’t work. So renamed it to hypersonic-hsqldb.jar.
- I login to the Lucee server admin console and I try to setup the
datasource using the following:
Type: Other - JDBC DriverClass:
net.ucanaccess.jdbc.UcanloadDriverConnection:
jdbc:ucanaccess:///home/MyUserName/www/database/MyMsAccessDB.mdb
I’m getting this error:
*The UCANACCESS_HOME system variable isn’t defined: it should
be:-DUCANACCESS_HOME=*Where do I have to define this/these variables and
what values should they be set to? I’ve searched all over the web but I
can’t seem to find anything. Is this even possible to do on Ubuntu or will
this only work on Windows?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you,
Mike

The UCANACCESS_HOME system variable isn’t defined:
it should be:
-DUCANACCESS_HOME=
This looks like an argument to the servlet engine at startup - e.g. Tomcat (maybe check catalina.sh for the startup)
Looks like an environment variable needs to be set

Hi Mike
A few things:
- I downloaded the ucanaccess.zip file and extracted all jar files and put them in /opt/lucee/lib/ folder.
That should make it available, you should put it in a sub folder of it’s own I think
- I’ve renamed hypersonic-hsqldb.jar to hypersonic-hsqldb_old.jar
the name of hypersonic.jar doesn’t matter, if its extension is .jar it will still be loaded, so if you don’t want it maybe rename it .old rather than old.jar
- I tried using hsqldb.jar that came with the ucanaccess.zip file but it didn’t work. So renamed it to hypersonic-hsqldb.jar.
Again, the name of the file doesn’t matter except the extension so hypersonic-hsqldb is still being loaded.
- I login to the Lucee server admin console and I try to setup the datasource using the following:
Type: Other - JDBC Driver
Class: net.ucanaccess.jdbc.UcanloadDriver
Connection: jdbc:ucanaccess:///home/MyUserName/www/database/MyMsAccessDB.mdb
I’m getting this error:
The UCANACCESS_HOME system variable isn’t defined:
it should be:
-DUCANACCESS_HOME=
See:
java - UCANACCESS_HOME system variable not set - Stack Overflow http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34464565/ucanaccess-home-system-variable-not-set
Where do I have to define this/these variables and what values should they be set to? I’ve searched all over the web but I can’t seem to find anything. Is this even possible to do on Ubuntu or will this only work on Windows?
you can set this in the opt/lucee/tomcat/bin/setenv.sh file.
