Unable to connect to server database from java desktop application

Question

I created a java desktop application. I am trying to connect this application to mysql server database. But it is throwing socket exception. I tried in all the ways to solve this issue but none of them worked for me. The problem which I got is mentioned in this link http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-849637.html

Please help me in this regard. Will be really thankful..

According to your respnose on Oct 3'12 at 10:27, you already found out this is not Java related.

Fix your network problem:

• ensure MySQL is really running
• ensure you use correct IP/port
• ensure no firewall is blocking traffic
