JDBC parameters (w Navicat, Aqua DataStudio, etc) would be along the lines of

        localhost
        3306
        username <---- whatever that is
        password  <----- whatever that is

ON THE SAME MACHINE. Try that first. (e.g., on the server itself). IF that works, you're sort of started.

But then you need to set up authorized users OUTSIDE the server if you wish to connect to it from another machine, to develop, etc. You need to grant privileges, etc. Use Navicat to do this, it has a nice interface for that.


Navicat and DS come with the correct JDBC drivers already.

But you should definitely make sure you have the MySql drivers set up in

/Library/Java/Extensions

on both the server AND your development machine

Can you connect to the MySql database with *anything* (e.g., a trial version of Navicat, Aqua DataStudio, etc.)? You need to get the connection parameters worked out before you take any next steps.

You might want to try downloading and using MAMP. It does the entire mysql install and runs Apache and PHP, plus it automatically sets up a webpage for you so you can access and set everything up.

I want to stick with the default install of MySQL, PHP and Apache on OS X Server

I have MySQL running but I can't connect to it. I have Filemaker running but can't connect to it using the Dev Studio. For testing I'm running everything on the same machine

I have a DSN setup as per Dan Stein's instructions (Thanks, Dan) but I don't understand how to connect to that in the Dev Server. Does everyone struggle with this and work it out on their own or are there some instructions written down somewhere? I've searched the Witango website without success

I am still struggling here so if anyone can remember back to when they first setup an ODBC / JDBC database, DSN and data source in Dev Studio I'd love to hear from you
