Okay... I've got a new VPS and got everything set up. It's Linux CentOS.
JRE, MySQL, and Smartfox all installed properly.
Smartfox ran properly with the default settings.

I have had a local windows version of smartfox running properly for quite some time, so I know how to install the mysql connector.

mysql-connector-java-5.1.14-bin.jar is in jre/lib/ext folder
Driver.java is in jre/lib/ext/org/gjt/mm/mysql folder

I copied over my config.xml from my already working local smartfox config...

<DatabaseManager active="true">

<Driver>org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver</Driver>
<ConnectionString>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/skimbell_zen</ConnectionString>

<UserName>****</UserName>
<Password>****</Password>

<TestSQL><![CDATA[SELECT * FROM ks_users]]></TestSQL>

<MaxActive>10</MaxActive>
<MaxIdle>10</MaxIdle>

<OnExhaustedPool>fail</OnExhaustedPool>
<BlockTime>5000</BlockTime>

</DatabaseManager>

I already tried adding a path to the mysql connector in my start.sh file.....

So what on earth is the problem here?

The error:

DB Manager Activated ( org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver )

Shutting down server...

The Test SQL statement failed!

are you sure the test query works ?

The problem is fixed.
Seems when I added the class path to start.sh, smartfox didn't like to read it using a local path.
I had initially added "lib/ext/mysql-connector-java-5.1.15-bin.jar".
Changing this to "/root/SmartFoxServer_PRO_1.6.6/jre/lib/ext/mysql-connector-java-5.1.15-bin.jar" fixed the problem.
