Connection verification failed for data source: coldfusion
java.sql.SQLException: Communication failure during handshake. Is there a
server running on localhost:3306?
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: Communication failure during
handshake. Is there a server running on localhost:3306?

i installed the connectorJ JDBC driver but that tdid not work?

This has been discussed pretty extensively here very recently--do a
search on this forum as well as on macromedia.com and you should see
some good info. Make sure you have downloaded the latest drivers and
you should be fine. You cannot use the built-in drivers that came with
CF unless you're using MySQL 3.x.
