Timed Out Error Message

[climbrainer]

I keep getting an error message when trying to create a data source using the
SQL Server that my web hosting service provides. I am running the developers
version of CF MX7.Does any know what I can do to fix this problem. Here is the
error message:

Connection verification failed for data source: mssqlcf_jbspeckhard
java.sql.SQLException: Timed out trying to establish connection
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: Timed out trying to establish
connection

I also get an error message when I try to connect to the MySQL 4.1 server
that is provided for me. Here is that error message:

Connection verification failed for data source: mysqlcf_jbspeckhard
java.sql.SQLException: Cannot connect to MySQL server on
mysql79.secureserver.net:3306. Is there a MySQL server running on the
machine/port you are trying to connect to? (java.net.ConnectException)
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: Cannot connect to MySQL server
on mysql79.secureserver.net:3306. Is there a MySQL server running on the

Any help with either error that anyone could give me would be greatly
appreciated. It doesnt matter which one gets fixed, I just need to have one
working. Thanks for all your help.

Hmmm, sounds like like an issue to do with port settings. Who's your web host?
