Actually, I did see the Read Me file that came with the driver. I spent so much time on this myself, I wanted to start fresh on here. :)
I am still unable to get mysql to connect to the jdbc driver. Here is the latest what I did and the resulting errors that came up: ####################################################################### GRANT ALL ON *.* TO [EMAIL PROTECTED] IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; SQLException: Invalid authorization specification: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) SQLState: 28000 VendorError: 1045 GRANT ALL ON *.* TO [EMAIL PROTECTED] IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; SQLException: Invalid authorization specification: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) SQLState: 28000 VendorError: 1045 ############################################## I must point out, mysql will connect using these parameters from the command line. Mark, can you or anyone on here see what I am doing wrong? I am really in a bind here, I am way late on a deadline. Prior to this, I have never had a problem with mysql and connections to it from web pages/apps using java. I would really appreciate any help, has anyone else on here got mysql/jdbc/Red Hat 7.3 to get mysql to connect from there web apps/pages using java? Did you do anything different from what I did? Thank You very much for your help.
