Ubuntu - MySQL - Glassfish
To install MySQL on Ubuntu to be used in a Glassfish JEE App is very easy.
You can download and install MySQL Server using the Synaptic Tool in Ubuntu. During Setup you will be asked for a root password. this is a password for the user "root" inside the mySQL Server. So its not your Linux root password.
After intalling mysql server you can easily start and stop it with
> sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
> sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
To get into the mysql console use
>mysql -u root -p
There you will be ask for the mysql root password.
To create a new database use the following command form the mysql console:
mysql> create database my_database;
Now you can setup the JDBC Pool inside Glassfish server.
First download the JDBC Driver form mysql download page and put the 'mysql-connecto-java-5.1.x.jar' into glassfish/domains/domain1/lib/ext
use the following Class Name to configure you JDBC Pool: com.mysql.jdbc.jdbc2.optional.MysqlDataSource
Use the additional params:
- databaseName : [you_database_name]
- user: root
- password : [you mysql admin password]
