Hello all,
I could do with some help as i'm pretty well stuck.
I'm trying to connect crystal report developer to a MySql Database on a remote server via the j-connector for jdbc.
I have downloaded the connecter J zip file, extracted the folder and copied the mysql-connector-java-5.1.13-bin.jar into "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\java\lib\external"
I then opened the CRConfig.xml in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\java\lib" and added "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\java/lib/external/mysql-connector-java-5.1.13-bin.jar;" after the last semicolon just before ${CLASSPATH}
I then open Crystal reports, standerd report wizard, create new connection, JDBC (JNDI), I then enter my DB URL: "jdbc:mysql://ipaddressformysqlserver:3306/database1" and driver class "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver".
Then next, username and password. Then on connect I get the error:
Failed to Open Connection
Details: JDBC Driver not found
Any idea? I think ive done everything right.
Im running Java SE 1.4, does it need to be the JDK?
Thanks for the help,
Matt
