Database URL for MySQL in Mac OS X

[srhcpa]

I am using the tutorial about Netbeans and MySQL at http://www.netbeans.org/kb/60/ide/mysql.html.



When I try to connect to the MySQL server using the database url as :/// I get an error message.



When I try from scratch I have the following to complete:

jdbc:mysql://<HOST>:<PORT>/<DB>



This is where I am getting hung up. I have tried a number of variants such as:



jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test



but I keep getting an error message.



Can someone tell me how to set up the database URL and find the needed components?



Thanks,



Steve

This looks correct.

What are you using the database for? If for PHP development, the
easiest and quickest solution would be to install MAMP:

That tutorial has a feedback at the very end. Can you please contact the tutorial author's through that channel? He will surely be in touch with you. Thanks.
