Cannot access WEB_INF for libraries in ftp.

[murpha]

My server is bit.heliohost.org. I just got verified java on my johnny server and now I am using something I have tested on my localhost computer, and which works. I have

Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");

and

<%@page import="java.sql.*" %>.

I have the error:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver.

How do I solve this problem? I cannot access WEB_INF in my ftp client either, so I cannot add my mysql/J connector in the library either.

You need to put

WEB-INF/lib/mysql-connector-java-8.0.15.jar

or whichever version of the mysql-connector you're using.

I cannot access WEB_INF:

ftp> cd WEB_INF

550 Can't change directory to WEB_INF: No such file or directory

[Krydos]

Create the directory.

I have, then, it is the same error again, nothing changed.

Did you place the .jar? It won't start working until tomcat restarts.
