Re: DB connection url for MySQL

[Todd Farmer]

Hi David,

Can you please provide the full stack trace?

The message you describe is consistent with being unable to connect to the specified host from the client machine. Check firewalls, routing, DNS, etc. The easy first check is to see if you can telnet to the machine from the client:

shell> telnet mysqlpc 3306

This should print the MySQL server handshake (identifiable by the MySQL version string returned). If you don't get that when executing on the client machine, you need to look at what may be preventing you from connecting to port 3306 on mysqlpc. Firewalls are a frequent root cause.

Best regards,
