Does your /etc/my.cnf file have these lines in it? [mysqld] port=3306 socket=/tmp/mysql.sock basedir=/var/lib
I'm pretty sure that the Red Hat default MySQL install doesn't have the "port=3306" line. I had problems with the same JDBC driver back in 2000 and I vaguely remember adding that line to solve it. Also, you may want to include e.printStackTrace(); in your catch block. That will allow you to see exactly where things go wrong while you're debugging your code. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
