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.
I get this output:
mysqladmin version -uroot -p
Enter password:
mysqladmin Ver 8.41 Distrib 5.0.37, for mandriva-linux-gnu on i586

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

I am sorry, I don't follow. if I put that I get the following:

So what do i need to force it to use tcp/ip?
