 Posted: 31.12.05 14:53 Post subject: Java & MySQL? |
 |
|
|
I'm trying to integrate some of the functions on my site into a Java JApplet...
I've went over everything in the JAVA, and MySQL manuals for connecting to the MySQL Database...
I'm using localhost, and I have the name for the database, the username, and password all set up in the right places...
but it just... wont... work...
any Ideas on how to find out how to make MySQL work with JAVA, or what the problem could be? |

I'm afraid you can't do that, and here's why. Java Applets run on clients' computers - not on the server - and Funpic's database access is limited to being accessed only from the server as "localhost". And when the applet tries to access localhost, it actually tries accessing the machine on which the browser is running.
