Cannot connect to MySQL Database from Java Applet
 

Hi

I've created a java applet that connects to a mysql database. When i run the applet from the JBuilder Applet viewer, it works fine. but once i load the applet into an HTML page, upload it to the server where it has to run, It gives an error the size to big for this page.

-------------------------ERROR I RECIEVE---------------------------------

This was running the file on my machine, but i get same error when page is loaded on server. My connection passes when i run the page in my jbuilder9 software. But not anywhere else. Why is it doing this and how can i get it to work?

thanx,

This is why:

You are using the excat path to were your class file is found on your computer. But of course thats not where it is for the server. So you need to use virtual paths such as:

/home/war59312/public_html/

huh?

I understand that you must set the classpath to indicate where the MySQL driver is sitting right.

So where do i specify it on the server?

Crap :(

I hate java :(

I have no idea I just know you do. lol

Sure someone knows around here.
