Hi all,

I have just joined JavaRanch because I think that it is the one of the best forums to get help with Java.

This is my first post on JavaRanch, so if I make mistakes regarding the posting rules, please forgive me.

OK, here is my problem.

I have created a jsp file which does the simple task of reading data from a mysql database and displaying the results on a web page. Please see below:




However, each time I run the jsp file in the browser with my localhost as server, I get an HTTP Status 500 error.

I have searched online for a solution and I could not find any. Could somebody please help me?

Regards

Welcome to JavaRanch. 500 means server-side error - there should be a full exception stack trace in the log files. Most likely it's some problem with the DB connection.

Welcome!

And here's a helpful hint: Please be sure to use code tags when posting code to the forums. Unformatted or unindented code is extremely hard to read and many people that might be able to help you will just move along to posts that are easier to read. Please click this link ⇒ UseCodeTags ⇐ for more information. Properly indented and formatted code greatly increases the probability that your question will get quicker, better answers.

I've gone ahead and added the code tags for you. See how much easier the code is to read? (Especially as opposed to making the code red?)
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
