com.mysql.jdbc not an available driver

  1. I download mysql-5.5.19-osx10.6-x86_64.dmg & install it.
  2. I download (mysql-connector-java-5.1.18.zip) unzip and copy to the drivers directory
  3. I start servoy & go database servers and right click to connect to existing database
  4. I select mysql and the only drivers that appear are:
    com.mysql.jdbc.NonRegisteringDriver
    com.mysql.jdbc.NonRegisteringReplicationDriver
    Missing is:
    com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

I am sure I am missing something obvious…

Hi,

Are you sure you are not overlooking the other options ?
If I look at my list then the 2 you are mentioning at listed at the top…then somewhere halfway I get org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver, which is the old name of the driver and an alias for com.mysql.jdbc.Driver, and then close to the end of the list I get com.mysql.jdbc.ReplicationDriver and the com.mysql.jdbc.Driver.

Hope this helps.

I see said the blind man. You are right. It is there. I can’t believe I did not see it.
thx.
