Answer 1

i think you are not start your derver server in specific port which you are using. you need to start server using below command on localhost with default port 1527

startNetworkServer -h 0.0.0.0

if you want to change the port you can use below command :

startNetworkServer -p 3301  // new port number

for more you can refer below link;

may be this error occur because of following reasons:

1) Firewall is not permitted for host-port combination

2) Client and Server, either or both of them are not in the network.

3) The server is running but not listening on the port, a client is trying to connect.

4) Server is not running.

5) Incorrect protocol in Connection String

Answer 2

This error occurs just because your database is not connected.

NETBEANS

Go to Services>Database>Java DB>(right click) After that simply right click on your database and connect database.
