Connecting MySQL to JasperReports Server

Question

I'm trying to connect my JasperReports Server to a remote MySQL server. I'm pretty sure I have the driver in the right place (as it shows up as an option in the JR Server dashboard). Here's the dashboard:

Here's the error I'm getting:

java.sql.SQLNonTransientConnectionException: Could not connect to 54.213.92.113:3306 : 
Connection refused at org.mariadb.jdbc.internal.SQLExceptionMapper.get(SQLExceptionMapper.java:136) 
at org.mariadb.jdbc.internal.SQLExceptionMapper.throwException(SQLExceptionMapper.java:106) 
at org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver.connect(Driver.java:114) at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:571) 
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:215) 
at com.jaspersoft.jasperserver.war.action.DataSourceAction.testJdbcDataSource(DataSourceAction.java:482) 

Does anyone have any idea as to how to solve this problem?

Answer 1

You need to give privileges to the user that you want to connect:

check with show privileges
