Hey all,
I am having terrible errors. I have the mm.blah.blah driver installed/configured correctly. My db seems to be working correctly. When i execute a testJdbcConnection, I receive the following error:
java.sql.SQLException: General Error: 79
at org.gjt.mm.mysql.Connection.<init>(Connection.java)
at org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver.connect(Driver.java)
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:457)
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:137)
at JdbcTest.main(JdbcTest.java:53)
and am becoming quite frustrated. The server is running with the right root password. when I do a ps -A |grep mysqld, the server shows up as running. Please advise. Thanks.

And here is the connection code segment used. I have all of the imports for the mm.blah and java.mysql.
Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver").newInstance();
String urlPath ="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mysql";
Connection conn = (Connection) DriverManager.getConnection(strUrl,"user","passwd");
That's it. I cast the DriverManager.getConnection as a Connection as the mm.blah Connection is not the same as the java.mysql.Connection...atleast according to my compiler.
Thanks again in advance.
