failed to mysql database

[boyScout]

Hello guys, i'm trying to connect to a mysql database and i get this
error:

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

I've downloaded the mysql driver called mysql-connector-java-5.1.6-bin
and the driver directory is in the my CLASSPATH but still have the
same exception. What should i do? Thank you

I've tried to do what you suggested me but still it don't work, i'm
using easyphp and i was tring to connect to its mysql from a simple
java application to see how it will work, i've been using msaccess
database and i want to immigrate to mysql when i'm using java. And i
was tring for the first time to connect to mysql using java. However
i've placed the bin/ directory of java in the CLASSPATH but nothing,
same message.
