Question

I'm working on a website using JetBrains PHPStorm. I created a database with default settings, when I try to test the connection or connect to the database, this error pops up :

Connection to db_IHM failed java.sql.SQLException: Communications link failure

The last packet sent successfully to the server was 0 milliseconds ago.
