I'm trying to connect to the local mysql server but I keep getting an error
here is the code
public class Connect { public static void main(String[] args) { Connection conn = null; try { String userName = "myUsername"; String password = "myPassword"; String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/myDatabaseName"; Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance(); conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,userName,password); System.out.println("Database connection established"); } catch (Exception e) { System.err.println("Cannot connect to database server"); System.err.println(e.getMessage()); e.printStackTrace(); } finally { if(conn != null) { try { conn.close(); System.out.println("Database Connection Terminated"); } catch (Exception e) { } } } } }
and the errors...

I've set the classpath, made sure my.cnf had the skip network option commented out.
java version is 1.2.0_26 (64 bit) mysql 5.5.14 mysql connector 5.1.17
I made sure that the user had access to my database.
telnet localhost 3306
? Is the mySQL server running? – Jim Garrison Jul 28 '11 at 20:59
