com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure
I have a java program that connects to a mysql database using jdbc. It was working before and now it is not. This is the error in the tomcat catalonia.out log :
Cannot connect to database server
com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure
The last packet sent successfully to the server was 0 milliseconds ago. The driver has not received any packets from the server.

here is the code that tries to connect with the database
public DBConnectionDesign() {
// Create a database connection
String account = "account";
String password = "password";
String server = "localhost:3306";
String database = "database";
try {
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection
( "jdbc:mysql://" + server, account,password);
System.out.println ("Database connection established");
stmt = con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
stmt.executeQuery("USE " + database);
// get the column names; column indexes start from 1
} catch (SQLException e) {
System.err.println ("Cannot connect to database server");
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
I can access the database with the same user name and password from the terminal. I also have a wordpress site that can access another mysql database on the same server. This is my.conf:
[client]
port = 3306
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
[mysqld_safe]
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
nice = 0
[mysqld]
user = mysql
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
port = 3306
basedir = /usr
datadir = /var/lib/mysql
tmpdir = /tmp
skip-external-locking
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
key_buffer = 16M
max_allowed_packet = 16M
thread_stack = 192K
thread_cache_size = 8
myisam-recover = BACKUP
query_cache_limit = 1M
query_cache_size = 16M
general_log_file = /var/log/mysql/mysql.log
general_log = 1
log_error = /var/log/mysql/error.log
expire_logs_days = 10
max_binlog_size = 100M
[mysqldump]
quick
quote-names
max_allowed_packet = 16M
[mysql]
[isamchk]
key_buffer = 16M
If anyone has ideas of other error logs to check or how to properly use tcpdump to look at requests I would really appreciate it. Right now, I have no idea why I can't connect to the server:the port number is correct, and the user name and password are correct too. How can I find out the reason I cannot connect to the server?
thanks!
