Error inserting data into database using postman

[young cove]

I am assuming the error has something to do with the url I entered for the post request. Why would localhost:8080/inform/store not work? Based on the java file

Actually, I think here Is the problem, for whatever reason the application does not stay running, but what is ending it?

Here is the tutorial - https://youtu.be/SvjwZXniOAE?si=FhqQHA1v2lKGo0o_

This was the issue - I left the .password= blank in the applications. However, the video does as well. Once I eneter the password there, it works. Must it not be blank?

Although now creating a table in MySQL works with postman, for whatever reason it is blank - I should have added values into it. Why is it blank?

I have never used java before, but I would check your API logs

I think the error is the 500 Internal Server Error shown in the image above (postman)

That normally means something's up with your API (you are the server)

Where would I look at the API logs?

There are no errors in the postman logs

Is your crud app not an API?
