First your conf file should contain the location of your server such...

SQLConnection[JDBC["mysql", "myhost:3306/testdb"], "Name" -> "MySQL test", "Description" -> "test 
connection to MySQL database", "Username" -> "root", "Password" -> "$Prompt", "RelativePath" -> False, "Version" -> 1.]


Next try putting your conf file in 
$UserBaseDirectory/DatabaseResources.  Then use the name to call 
OpenSQLConnection["MySQL test"].
