can't connect to config-db

[robotronick]

Hi,

I have a problem while trying to install ox.

If I start the oxinstaller-script, i will get an exception: Can't connect to config db... But the config-db was created successful and is reachable by the provided user and password. So do anybody have an idea what's going wrong?

Here a cutout of the oxinstaller output:

Hi,

i don't get an "connection refused". I get "can't connect to config db"... I think, there are different causes.

Might be that the configdb.properties are somewhat out of order. Could you try this:

Sorry for the delay...

I was try to connect to the configdb with the params of the configdb.properties -> It works, but there is no application database present...

mysql> select * from db_pool;
Empty set (0.00 sec)

Thanks a lot,
Axel

Okay, I have the same thing here. A bit different output though:

The connection to the database works great via commandline. The params in both configdb.properties files are fine.

Any more ideas?

I should read the forum before I reply. My problem was a different name for 'mysql-connector-java-3.1.13-bin.jar' ...
