#566 Trouble connecting to MySQL

[Ed Davison]

While trying to connect to a MySQL server using the com.mysql.jdbc.Driver, I am getting the following error:

"
Error occurred during task execution:
Could not initialize class net.sourceforge.squirrel_sql.fw.dialects.DialogFactory
"

The stack trace is:

This looks like the packaging problem that we've identified and should be fixed in 2.6.1 which will be available shortly.

Any time frame for this?

Looks like there are base/optional/standard .zip files for 2.6.1 on the download page now. Can these just be unzipped into the existing install directory?

2.6.1 was just released. When you can, please download and install it into a new directory, and let us know how it goes. The 2.6.1 installer can be downloaded here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=28383&package_id=29193&release_id=549396

You may also use the archive formats as well (instead of the installer) if you so desire.

Yup; that fixed it. Can connect to MySQL just fine now.

Thanks!

Thank you for verifying that 2.6.1 resolves the problem. For cross-reference purposes, the ticket which originally identified this problem was:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1818446&group_id=28383&atid=393414

I'll close the ticket.
