Hi, I searched the archives for a solution to my problem, but couldn't find any. Like many, I keep getting the following error:
SQLException: Cannot connect to MySQL server on localhost:3306. Is there a MySQL server running on the machine/port you are trying to connect to? (java.net.ConnectException) There's no stacktrace like some other people posted, I don't know why not. I think I got my sourcecode ok. I tried three different approaches: Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver"); Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver").newInstance(); Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().loadClass("org.gjt.mm.mys ql.Driver"); I also got this other stuff in my error log when I start Tomcat, but I don't know if that's part of my problem or just the result of me ruining other files: Starting service Tomcat-Standalone Apache Tomcat/4.0.4 PARSE error at line 1 column 10 org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Element type "web-app" must be declared. Server 1.6 is running Press [Ctrl]+[C] to abort Starting service Tomcat-Apache Apache Tomcat/4.0.4 SQLException: Cannot connect to MySQL server on localhost:3306. Is there a MySQL server running on the machine/port you are trying to connect to? (java.net.ConnectException) I got: Debian3.0/woody Tomcat4.0.4 j2sdk1.3 (BlackDown FCS) Mm.mysql-2.0.14 MySQL 3.23.49 JW Shapers p.s. I have the exact same servlet running fine on WindowsXP/Tomcat4.0.3/j2sdk14/mm.mysql-2.0.12/MySQL3.23.49. But I need Debian now. p.s.2 I have a deju-vu at this moment.
