linux下通过JDBC连接MySQL的一个意想不到的问题

今天在用appfuse2 strut2 modular生成一项目框架后，执行install时，报如下错误：

ERROR [main] SchemaExport.execute(202) | schema export unsuccessful
com.mysql.jdbc.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure due to underlying exception:

然后急忙查看mysql日志，没看到任何相关的东西，然后又看是不是hibernate3的maven插件有问题，google了半天没发觉有任何相关问题的信息，最后想起了昨天发现的 Debian/ubuntu下mysql默认只能从本地连接的解决方法，我将my.cnf中的bind-address改为了我的ip地址而不是默认的localhost，而我项目中的数据库连接是通过localhost连接的，于是我将bind-address改为默认的localhost后重启mysql，重新执行mvn install，一切ok拉

不过还是觉得很不爽，以前用windows操作系统从来都没遇到过这样的问题，就算我是一个linux的新手，但你看到上面那样的异常信息你能快速找出问题所在吗？
