:: CONNECTION PROBLEM :: 08001 :: Pl. Help !!

[Praveen Vasireddy]

Hi All,
I am trying to get a connection to the database using the following code snippet.
.................................................................................................................................................
try {
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Failed to load MYSQL JDBC drivers.");
}
// get a connection
try {
con =DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql:///mtogo?user=root&password=p4ssword");
} catch (SQLException e) {
System.err.println("***************************");
System.out.println("SQLException: " + e.getMessage());
System.out.println("SQLState: " + e.getSQLState());
System.out.println("VendorError: " + e.getErrorCode());
System.err.println("***************************");
}
.................................................................................................................................................
When I try to connect using the same code in WinXP system...it works fine.

I transfered the code to redhat 9.0 system and I get the following error
.................................................................................................................................................
Problems connecting to MTOGO with user:root and pwd:p4ssword and port 3306
***************************
SQLException: Server configuration denies access to data source
SQLState: 08001
VendorError: 0
***************************
.................................................................................................................................................
- When I connect at the shell using the same user & password ...it gets connected.
- I have access to the database .
- I checked even the port and its listening on default port.

Can you please tell me how to fix this problem.
Thanks in advance.
