connect to mysql with wavemaker

Question

I have recently downloaded Wavemaker because I feel it best suites my needs, however when I try and connect to my database on a mysql server hosted with godaddy, I keep getting access denied. However I can connect using exactly the same loggin info for sql workbench and razorsql just to see if I had my credentials correct and I have no problem connecting using those other two tools, is it me or is wavemaker being a pain?

Answer 1

Did you remember to install the MySQL JDBC DRIVER?

If not you can get it from the MySQL site, or install it on your Linux machine using the appropriate install commands. I had the same problem and after installing the driver everything worked great.

I'm posting my WaveMaker MySQL connection info (the database properties file) in hopes it might help:
