Configuring MySQL server connection in SmartFoxServer

Question

I have been trying to connect to mysql via JDBC in config.xml.

I've changed default values to proper values like below :

<DatabaseManager active="true">


        <Driver>org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver</Driver>
        <ConnectionString>jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/mysql</ConnectionString>

        <UserName>root</UserName>
        <Password></Password>

        <TestSQL><![CDATA[SELECT NOW()]]></TestSQL>

        <MaxActive>10</MaxActive>
        <MaxIdle>10</MaxIdle>

        <OnExhaustedPool>fail</OnExhaustedPool>
        <BlockTime>5000</BlockTime>

</DatabaseManager>

But when i try to start SmartFoxServer, get following errors :

        DB Manager Activated ( org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver )
Can't load db driver: org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
11:13:16.054 - [ SEVERE ] > DbManager could not retrive a connection. java.sql.S

Errors found in configuration files.
Unable to start the server.


Shutting down server...

Press any key to continue . . .

Please tell me what am i doing wrong ?

Any helps would be appreciated.

I found the answer.

Should copy MySQL Connector/J in :

C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\MySQL\MySQL Connector J\mysql-connector-java-5.1.26-bin.jar

to :

C:\Users\username\SmartFoxServerPRO_1.6.6\jre\lib\ext\

And then restart SFS.

It worked like a charm. Good Luck.
