Netbeans MySql Database connection

Question

I am having trouble creating a connection to a MySql database in Netbeans. I cannot get anything to work.

I cannot create a MySql database in Netbeans

I visited the Netbeans Documentation. They were using a Mac and were referencing files that did not come with my installation of MySQL. They were referencing some file called mysql.admin. I right-clicked Databases in the services tab in Netbeans and clicked register MySQL Server. I am supposed to fill out the following form:

Form

However as stated earlier my machine apparently does not have this "admin tool" or any of these programs.

Ultimately I would like to migrate a Derby Database to MySQL. However the first step is to at least get a MySQL database working in Netbeans...

Are you trying to create a database or connect to one you already have setup? Otherwise you will need to install an instance of Mysql to your server. — Shawn

@CodeKingPlusPlus, and anyone facing this problem. If you are using linux, Enter the following in the textboxes specified in the Admin Properties Tab of the MySQL Server Properties dialog:

Path to start command: /usr/bin/mysql

Arguments: /etc/init.d/mysql start

Path to Stop command: /usr/bin/mysql

Arguments: /etc/init.d/mysql stop

For MS Windows users, refer to the path where your bin folder is situated.

e.g.

     C:\mysql\bin

     C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin

     Installation Folder~\xampp\mysql\bin
