You do not need step 2 and 3. Other than possible permission issues
just copying the jdbc driver to the drivers directory as you did in step
2 is all that is required. Since you are using Tomcat 6 you also have
to copy the commons logging jars. Connection info is stored in the
report not the plugin.

If you do not mind posting what you did, I will add it to the FAQ.
