Usually its a url problem".
In my case my MySQL server was set to communicate only through the local socket, not a tcp port. Try to run "mysql -hlocalhost -uroot test". It should fail from the same reasons as your Jboss does. But it should report the problem in a little bit more comprehensible way :-) Pavel _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user
