I’ve recently set up a Ubuntu 9.10 server with a LAMP configuration and then installed Coldfusion 9 Development version as well.

I’ve got phpMyAdmin working, so MySql and PHP are fine, and I can serve coldfusion pages, but if I cannot verify my Coldfusion datasource. I get the following error:

Could not create connection to
database server. Attempted reconnect 3
times. Giving up.

With the top of the stack trace showing

com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLNonTransientConnectionException:
Could not create connection to
database server. Attempted reconnect 3
times. Giving up.

These are my settings for the datasource in the Coldfusion administrator

JDBC URL jdbc:mysql://192.168.1.19:3306/dbname

Drive class com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

Driver name ConnectorJ 5.1.7

And I know the username and password are correct as they’re the same ones I use for phpMyAdmin. Does anyone have any ideas why it’s not working?

    It’s a permissions problem. The IP needed to be 192.168.1.19 in the DSN setup in the administrator, but that didn’t fix it alone.

    I also created a ‘temp’ MySQL user based on a post found here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=4039359#post4039359

    And used that instead, it worked.
