I have a java program that runs perfectly fine on my windows box but on linux it's not working


I am getting a UnknownHost exception

I am establishing a connection to my database with the following command

Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://schoolid.net:3306/schoolid_nutrition", "schoolid_","");


also I am not sure if I didn't install the JDBC driver correctly I installed it and added to the $CLASSPATH variable or should that have been the PATH variable?


can someone please help me


Thanks

You should either put it to your CLASSPATH or run the program with "java -cp /path/to/mysql-driver.jar Foo". Note also that the path separator is colon -- not semicolon -- in Linux.

Hello ToniT,
I set the class path before trying to run in and it still does not work

it gives the Unknown Host Exception.
