Steps

How to

  1. The MySQL JDBC can be downloaded from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/. You can use any version of the MySQL JDBC driver, with any file name.There is a single download for all operating systems.
  2. Unzip the compressed file. This will create a version specific directory. For example, for 5.1.6 the directory will be called: mysql-connector-java-5.1.6
  3. Inside the version-specific directory (for example, " mysql-connector-java-5.1.6 ," find the JAR file. For example, mysql-connector-java-5.1.6-bin.jar .
  4. Copy this file to the CloudTest Conductor directory. The exact directory depends on the operating system:
    • On Microsoft Windows, the default installation directory is C:\Program Files\CloudTest Conductor\ .
    • On Linux, the default installation directory is Conductor/lib .
    • On Mac OS X, the default installation directory is /Library/Java/Extensions .
  5. Re-start CloudTest Conductor if it is currently running.
