Problem Creating Coldfusion Datasource

[smnbin]

Hello,

I have installed MySQL 5.0.15 and Coldfusion MX 7 Developer Edition on my Mac
Powerbook G4 running OS X 10.4.5. MySQL is working okay and I have successfully
created databases. However, when I attempt to create a Coldfusion datasource
using the ColdFusion Administrator I get the follow error message.

Connection verification failed for data source: ylc2
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?

Can anyone help me find a fix for this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Simon
