I also have a problem with MySQL on 10.4.4
It is a new machine and I get this error when I am trying to start my
app.
An exception occurred while trying to open a channel:
com.webobjects.jdbcadaptor.JDBCAdaptorException: Cannot connect to
MySQL server on 127.0.0.1:3306. Is there a MySQL server running on
the machine/port you are trying to connect to?
(java.net.ConnectException)
[2006-01-20 10:38:18 GMT] <main> A fatal exception occurred:
_obtainOpenChannel -- com.webobjects.eoaccess.EODatabaseContext
com.webobjects.eoaccess.EODatabaseContext@49f9fa: failed to open
database channel. Check your connection dictionary, and ensure your
database is correctly configured.
[2006-01-20 10:38:18 GMT] <main> java.lang.IllegalStateException:
_obtainOpenChannel -- com.webobjects.eoaccess.EODatabaseContext
com.webobjects.eoaccess.EODatabaseContext@49f9fa: failed to open
database channel. Check your connection dictionary, and ensure your
database is correctly configured.
The mysql daemon is running and I can connect to it using command
line on the machine.
I have the last driver installed too and the connection dictionary is
the same I use for a different machine.
