I am having issues connecting to MySQL using JDBC. I get an error message:

Communication links failed.

Anyone have any configruation tips for the latest MySQL?

Hi Alexandro,

What kind of installation are you talking about. Is this a client server, or are you connecting on localhost?

wow quick answer... yes is a Mandriva 2007 box with MySQL 5.0.37 and OOo 2.3 (vanilla)

Well, in this case quick may not account for much, my knowledge about Mandriva was just exhausted when I spelled it ( and even then I cheated and looked at your paper)...sorry..but we can try a general test first.

If you enter 'mysqladmin version' in a command shell|* do you get anything back, or get the error.

On a localhost MySQL will try to use sockets, and this could be a problem. You can force it to use tcp/ip as a test with
mysqladmin -h 127.0.0.1
