I have developed a webapp using JSP and POJOs that accesses our production Postgre database. On the Windows machine I developed it on, everything works fine: it connects to the database and performs the queries specified by the user in the web pages.
When placed into production on our Linux boxes, it will not connect and I cannot figure out what the problem is. I presume it is with permissions. Other JSP webapps on our server successfully connect to Postgre, but using a legacy API I cannot get my head around.
Again my question is: Why does this webapp work when ran from my Windows machine, but not from the Linux?
