Hi

I’ve just started using visual builder to design applications but i’m having trouble connecting to mysql database on wamp server. In the admin console i entered the database name (same as the one in wamp), database type = mysql, obtain connections = DriverManager, Driver Implementor = org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver,
driver url = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/database_name

Whenever i try to test the connection i get the error “Transport error - HTTP code: 404 for URL: http://127.0.0.1:8888/showcase/sc/IDACall”.

Thanks

Not clear what the problem is (looks like some kind of misconfiguration), however, don’t run those tools out of the Showcase, use the built-in-ds sample project instead.

Note also: wrong forum, we moved the post.
