    Default Creating datasource with mysql- newbie question

    Hi all,
    I have been using a program to connect to mysql database on my shared hosting.
    I am now setting up a site in dreamweaver and a datasource to connect to the db
    from dreamweaver. In the datasources (control panel >admin tools> datasources)
    it doesn't have mysql. I have downloaded a driver from mysql website- what do I
    do now? Thanks a lot for any advice

    You didn't say which version of mySQL you had. Anyway the following article should prove helpful:
