java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused
I am trying to connect to a mysql database on remote server and whenever I try to run the code it is giving me connection refused exception. Connection con = null; String driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"; String url1="jdbc:mysql://IPADDRESS:3306/"; String db = "hola"; String dbUser = "root"; String dbPasswd = "root"; Class.forName(driver).newInstance(); con = DriverManager.getConnection(url1+db, dbUser, dbPasswd); System.out.println("Database Connection Established"); Also, when I telnet with that IP on a port 3306 it is giving me connection refused. How can I make sure that my server listens
