Thanks for your advices.
In the offical mysql webpage, there is a paragraph tell us how to usinng telnet test mysql server connectivity. --------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.mysql.com/doc/C/a/Can_not_connect_to_server.html If you get the error message Can't connect to MySQL server on some_hostname, you can try the following things to find out what the problem is : Check if the serveis up by doing telnet your-host-name tcp-ip-port-number and press Enter a couple of times. If there is a MySQL server running on this port you should get a responses that includes the version number of the running MySQL server. If you get an error like telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused, then there is no server running on the given port. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Why i do this test is because I have trouble to use jdbc to connect to mysql server and i am afraid that my mysql server is not configureed properly.
