Jython Connecting to Mysql Database Error

Question

I have been solving a problem with MYSQL and Jython for the past two days.

I keep receiving the error:

zxJDBC.DatabaseError: Communication failure during handshake. Is there a server running on localhost:3306? [SQLCode: 0]

I have tried out multiple solutions:

1.) Changing the port number of mysql

2.) Tried out variations of connection methods

However, none have worked so far.

My netstat shows that there is indeed a server running on port 3306 :

0.0.0.0 3306 c:\\xampp\\mysql\\bin\\mysqld.exe

My code goes as:

from com.ziclix.python.sql import zxJDBC
userInfo = {'user':'root', 'password':'', 'databaseName':'amda','serverName':'localhost','port':3306}
dbconnection = zxJDBC.connectx("org.gjt.mm.mysql.MysqlDataSource", **userInfo)

If you can, please help! Many thanks!
