MySQL datasource conection error

Question

Hi,
I also have troubles connecting coldfusion to MySQL 5.
I read the technote on how to connect it using jdbc.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=6ef0253
However, I don't quite understand it all. Maybe somebody can
help me with the following question:
1* If you see the following step:
# Enter the JDBC URL:
jdbc:mysql://[host]:[port]/[database]
Do I have to do this like:
jdbc:mysql://[localhost]:[3306]/[databasename]
Or like this:
jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/databasename
2* And how to enter the driver class (Do I use the exact
example?):
com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
3* Another question is:
Does the above procedure has any consequences for other
datasource connections on the server? [SQL]
Thank you in advance
Regards,
Kabbi

jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/databasename
