Problem connecting to MySql server from JDBC - MESSAGE: java.net.SocketException: Invalid argument: connect

[Milind Joshi]

Hi,

I am having problem connecting to MySQl server Version 4.1 from JDBC driver mysql-connector-java-3.1.6. I am getting the following error.

com.mysql.jdbc.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure due to under
lying exception:

** BEGIN NESTED EXCEPTION **

java.net.SocketException
MESSAGE: java.net.SocketException: Invalid argument: connect

STACKTRACE:

** END NESTED EXCEPTION **

I am using the similar code that is given in the MySql documentation. Here is it.


import java.sql.*;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;

public class LoadDriver {

public static void main(String[] args) {
try{
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance(); conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/mine?user=root1&password=Passwd1");
}catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e);}

}// main ends
}// class LoadDriver ends



Please help!!!

Thanks,
