mysql probably tries to use UNIX sockets, while the JDBC app uses TCP/IP sockets, and you have the former not valid for connections. try mysql -h localhost -u niclas -p and if that doesn't work, you probably only have the FQDN as the hostname in the database, so mysql -h niclas.hedhman.org -u niclas -p Either one should do it. Also, does the JDBC app run from the same host/IP as the mysql client? If not, then you may have "client host" connection limits.
