Refused mySQL connection on initial setup - Resolved

[Thell B Fowler, módosítva 16 év-val korábban]

Good day!

I'm having issues getting Liferay installed using mySQL. The database (lportal) was created using the phpmyadmin from within WHM and the Liferay root.xml config file has been changed to try to connect via url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/lportal?[...]

MySQL is allowing the connection from the CLI and manually imported the schema just fine using the database user and password shown in root.xml.

The Liferay app is definitely calling the mySQL jdbc driver and the Tomcat catlina.out file is showing the connection being refused using the same user and password as was used to import the schema from the CLI.

Tomcat was stopped and started after making changes to the root.xml file, and after trying for quite awhile even the mySQL was cycled (even though it obviously isn't the problem...)

Any ideas?

Figured out the problem with the help of this thread and commented out the 'skip-networking' line in my.conf.

Page loaded fine after that.
