'However' is an adverb. It cannot function as a conjunction in this sense.

"A comma splice is the use of a comma to join two independent clauses. For example: It is nearly half past five, we cannot reach town before dark. Although acceptable in some languages and compulsory in others (e.g. Bulgarian or French), comma splices are usually considered style errors in English." (Wikipedia.)
