The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: Communication failure during handshake. Is there a server running on localhost:3306?

Thats the message I get when I try to add a mysql database using the coldfusion admin page. I never get this error when I add an access database.

Where could I be going wrong? :confused:

Could anyone help or suggest something?

Is the mysql database on the server that is running coldfusion?
