The code is:
//Connect to MySql Server try { Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver").newInstance(); } catch(Exception e){ System.out.println("Can not get class Name"); } try { c = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:mysql://localhost/dbname?user=username&password=mypasswd"); } catch (SQLException se){System.out.println("trouble to connect");}// I can connect to a mysql server in a remote machine by changing localhost to a url (the server is set by other people and i do not kown how he set it) But when I run this code and try to connect to the local mysql server i get error message "trouble to connect"? I can create databases and tables in my local mysql without any problem. Can somebody give me a suggestion? Thanks in advance. btw I have redhat 7,2 os.
