connecting MySQL server to NetBeans

Question

I am trying to connect MySQL database in Netbeans and stuck at the very first step- connecting the database. My Database is working fine on the console - tried command mysqladmin -u root -p ping and it says mysql id is alive. I have even created database from console. Now when i register it in Netbeans

Server Host Name:localhost 
Server Port:3306 
Admin user : root 
Admin password :<the password which works on console> 

and Admin Properties:

Path to admin tool: C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\mysqladmin.exe 
Argument : <blank> 
Path to start command:C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\mysqld.exe 
Argument : --console <as suggested in http://forums.netbeans.org/topic12767.html>
Path to stop command:C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\mysqladmin.exe
Argument : -u root shutdown  

but i still get message:- "MySQL Server at localhost:3306 [root] (disconnected)"

if i right click and select "start" or "connect" i get the message in taskbar - Waiting for MYSQL Server to start... for an infinite time.

Any help what am i doing wrong here???

Answer 1

Follow these 2 steps:

STEP 1 :

Follow these steps using the Services Tab:

1. Right click on Database
2. Create new Connection

Customize the New COnnection as follows:

1. Connector Name: MYSQL (Connector/J Driver)
2. Host: localhost
3. Port: 3306
4. Database: mysql ( mysql is the default or enter your database name)
5. Username: enter your database username
6. Password: enter your database password
7. JDBC URL: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mysql
8. CLick Finish button

NB: DELETE the ?zeroDateTimeBehaviour=convertToNull part in the URL. Instead of mysql in the URL, you should see your database name)

STEP 2 :

1. Right click on MySQL Server at localhost:3306:[username](...)
2. Select Properties... from the shortcut menu

In the "MySQL Server Properties" dialog select the "Admin Properties" tab Enter the following in the textboxes specified:

For Linux users :

1. Path to start command: /usr/bin/mysql
2. Arguments: /etc/init.d/mysql start
3. Path to Stop command: /usr/bin/mysql
4. Arguments: /etc/init.d/mysql stop

For MS Windows users :

NOTE: Optional:

In the Path/URL to admin tool field, type or browse to the location of your MySQL Administration application such as the MySQL Admin Tool, PhpMyAdmin, or other web-based administration tools.

Note: mysqladmin is the MySQL admin tool found in the bin folder of the MySQL installation directory. It is a command-line tool and not ideal for use with the IDE.

We will use MySQL Workbench in this example. Please use the path of your installation if you have MySQL workbench and the path to MySQL.

1. Path/URL to admin tool: C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Workbench CE 5.2.47\MySQLWorkbench.exe
2. Arguments: (Leave blank)
3. Path to start command: C:\mysql\bin\mysqld (OR C:\mysql\bin\mysqld.exe)
4. Arguments: (Leave blank)
5. Path to Stop command: C:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin (OR C:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin.exe )
6. Arguments: -u root shutdown (Try -u root stop)

Possible exampes of MySQL bin folder locations for Windows Users:

• C:\mysql\bin
• C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\
• Installation Folder: ~\xampp\mysql\bin

Answer 2

Fist of all make sure your SQL server is running. Actually I'm working on windows and I have installed a nice tool which is called MySQL workbench (you can find it here for almost any platform ).

Thus I just create a new database to test the connection, let's call it stackoverflow, with one table called user.

SET @OLD_UNIQUE_CHECKS=@@UNIQUE_CHECKS, UNIQUE_CHECKS=0;
SET @OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@@FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS, FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;
SET @OLD_SQL_MODE=@@SQL_MODE, SQL_MODE='TRADITIONAL,ALLOW_INVALID_DATES';

DROP SCHEMA IF EXISTS `stackoverflow` ;
CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS `stackoverflow` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci ;
USE `stackoverflow` ;

-- -----------------------------------------------------
-- Table `stackoverflow`.`user`
-- -----------------------------------------------------
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `stackoverflow`.`user` ;

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `stackoverflow`.`user` (
  `iduser` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` VARCHAR(75) NOT NULL,
  `email` VARCHAR(150) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`iduser`),
  UNIQUE INDEX `iduser_UNIQUE` (`iduser` ASC),
  UNIQUE INDEX `email_UNIQUE` (`email` ASC))
ENGINE = InnoDB;


SET SQL_MODE=@OLD_SQL_MODE;
SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS;
SET UNIQUE_CHECKS=@OLD_UNIQUE_CHECKS;

You can reduce important part to

 CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS `stackoverflow`

 CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `stackoverflow`.`user` (
      `iduser` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
      `name` VARCHAR(75) NOT NULL,
      `email` VARCHAR(150) NOT NULL,
      PRIMARY KEY (`iduser`),
      UNIQUE INDEX `iduser_UNIQUE` (`iduser` ASC),
      UNIQUE INDEX `email_UNIQUE` (`email` ASC))

So now I have my brand new stackoverflow database. Let's connect to it throught Netbeans. Launch netbeans and go to the services panel Now right click on databases: new connection.. Choose MySql connector, they already come packed with netbeans. Then fill in the gaps the data you need. As shown in the picture add the database name and remove from the connection url the optional parameters as l?zeroDateTimeBehaviour=convertToNull . Use the right user name and password and test the connection.

As you can see connection is successful.

Click FINISH.

You will have your connection successfully working and available under the services.

Answer 3

check the context.xml file in Web Pages -> META-INF, the username="user" must be the same as the database user, in my case was root, that solved the connection error

Hope helps

Answer 4

I just had the same issue with Netbeans 8.2 and trying to connect to mySQL server on a Mac OS machine. The only thing that worked for me was to add the following to the url of the connection string: &serverTimezone=UTC (or if you are connecting via Hibernate.cfg.xml then escape the & as &) Not surprisingly I found the solution on this stack overflow post also:

MySQL JDBC Driver 5.1.33 - Time Zone Issue

Best Regards, Claudio

Answer 5

in my cases, i found my password in glassfish-recources.xml under WEB-INF

Answer 6

1. Close NetBeans.

2. Stop MySQL Server.

3. Update MySQL (if available)

4. Start MySQL Server.

5. Open NetBeans.

If still doesn't connect, download MySQL Connector/J and add mysql-connector-java-[version].jar to your classpath and also to your Webserver's lib directory. For instance, Tomcat lib path in XAMPP is
C:\xampp\tomcat\lib.
Then repeat the steps again.

Answer 7

1. Download XAMPP
2. Run XAMPP server. Click on Start button in front of MY SQL. Now you can see that color is changed to green. Now, Click on Admin.The new browser window will be open. Copy the link from browser and paste to the Admin properties as shown in below. Set path in the admin properties of database connection. Click on OK. Now your database is connected. enter image description here
