I don't know where is the problem. But yesterday i worked fine.

my database.properties:

jdbc.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/streaming
jdbc.username=root
jdbc.password=password

hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect
hibernate.showsql=true
hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=create

It is possible for me to run mysql directly from command line. Where is the problem? Was is wrong. I use spring 4 and hibernate with mysql as database language.

Has someone any ideas?

Thank.

Answer 1

There is CommunicationsException: Communications link failure.

If you get a SQLException: Connection refused or Connection timed out or a MySQL specific

CommunicationsException: Communications link failure

then it means that the DB isn't reachable at all. This can have one or more of the following causes:

• IP address or hostname in JDBC URL is wrong.
• Hostname in JDBC URL is not recognized by local DNS server.
• Port number is missing or wrong in JDBC URL.
• DB server is down.
• DB server doesn't accept TCP/IP connections.
• DB server has run out of connections.
• Something in between Java and DB is blocking connections, e.g. a firewall or proxy.

To solve the one or the other, follow the following advices:

• Verify and test them with ping.
• Refresh DNS or use IP address in JDBC URL instead.
• Verify it based on my.cnf of MySQL DB.
• Start the DB.
• Verify if mysqld is started without the --skip-networking option.
• Restart the DB and fix your code accordingly that it closes connections in finally.
• Disable firewall and/or configure firewall/proxy to allow/forward the port.

Answer 2

DB is down. You must start the DB server and check connectivity with either telnet or mysql command line client first.
