Yay! Tag Cloud
Wow, I got the tag cloud back. That was quite hard to debug, and I would have been lost if not for my google-fu and reading the very last bit of this 8 month old problem between MySQL Connector and Roller 4.0 (Roller is what I am using to blog).
Just to be clear, this wasn't a problem with Roller. Well, not much of one.
I recently upgraded to MySQL 5.0.x. At the time, I did not notice that my tag cloud disappeared. Turns out, I was running with a very old JDBC provider (Connector 3.0.8) which is not qualified to work with MySQL 5.x. Everything else seemed to work, but not fetching the tagclouds (with the getPopularTags method). Once I replaced the 3.0.8 version with the latest 5.1.x version, my tag cloud came back.
I know you all were dying without the cloud and are grateful for its return (and the explanation).
