com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure
(51 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I'm trying to connect to the local MySQL server but I keep getting an error.
Here is the code.
public class Connect {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Connection conn = null;
try {
String userName = "myUsername";
String password = "myPassword";
String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/myDatabaseName";
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, userName, password);
System.out.println("Database connection established");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Cannot connect to database server");
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (conn != null) {
try {
conn.close();
System.out.println("Database Connection Terminated");
} catch (Exception e) {}
}
}
}
}
and the errors :
Cannot connect to database server
Communications link failure
The last packet sent successfully to the server was 0 milliseconds ago. The driver has not received any packets from the server.

I've set the classpath, made sure my.cnf had the skip network option commented out.
java version is 1.2.0_26 (64 bit)
mysql 5.5.14
mysql connector 5.1.17
I made sure that the user had access to my database.
I have had the same problem in two of my programs. My error was this:
com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure
The last packet sent successfully to the server was 0 milliseconds ago. The driver has not received any packets from the server.
I spent several days to solve this problem. I have tested many approaches that have been mentioned in different web sites, but non of them worked. Finally I changed my code and found out what was the problem. I'll try to tell you about different approaches and sum them up here.
While I was seeking the internet to find the solution for this error, I figured out that there are many solutions that worked for at least one person, but others say that it doesn't work for them! why there are many approaches to this error?
It seems this error can occur generally when there is a problem in connecting to the server. Maybe the problem is because of the wrong query string or too many connections to the database.
So I suggest you to try all the solutions one by one and don't give up!
Here are the solutions that I found on the internet and for each of them, there is at least on person who his problem has been solved with that solution.
Tip: For the solutions that you need to change the MySQL settings, you can refer to the following files:
Linux: /etc/mysql/my.cnf or /etc/my.cnf (depending on the Linux distribution and MySQL package used)
Windows: C:\**ProgramData**\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\my.ini (Notice it's ProgramData, not Program Files)
Here are the solutions:
changing bind-address attribute:
Uncomment bind-address attribute or change it to one of the following IPs:
bind-address="127.0.0.1"
or
bind-address="0.0.0.0"
commenting out "skip-networking"
If there is a skip-networking line in your MySQL config file, make it comment by adding # sign at the beginning of that line.
change "wait_timeout" and "interactive_timeout"
Add these lines to the MySQL config file:
[wait_timeout][1] = *number*
interactive_timeout = *number*
connect_timeout = *number*
Make sure Java isn't translating 'localhost' to [:::1] instead of [127.0.0.1]
Since MySQL recognizes 127.0.0.1 (IPv4) but not :::1 (IPv6)
This could be avoided by using one of two approaches:
In the connection string use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost to avoid localhost being translated to :::1
Run java with the option -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true to force java to use IPv4 instead of IPv6. On Linux, this could also be achieved by running (or placing it inside /etc/profile:
export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true"
check Operating System proxy settings, firewalls and anti-virus programs
Make sure the Firewall, or Anti-virus software isn't blocking MySQL service.
Stop iptables temporarily on linux. If iptables are misconfigured they may allow tcp packets to be sent to mysql port, but block tcp packets from coming back on the same connection.
# Redhat enterprise and CentOS
systemctl stop iptables.service
# Other linux distros
service iptables stop
Stop anti-virus software on Windows.
change connection string
Check your query string. your connection string should be some thing like this:
dbName = "my_database";
dbUserName = "root";
dbPassword = "";
String connectionString = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/" + dbName + "?user=" + dbUserName + "&password=" + dbPassword + "&useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8";
Make sure you don't have spaces in your string. All the connection string should be continues without any space characters.
Try to replace "localhost" with the loopback address 127.0.0.1.
Also try to add port number to your connection string, like:
String connectionString = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/my_database?user=root&password=Pass&useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8";
Usually default port for MySQL is 3306.
Don't forget to change username and password to the username and password of your MySQL server.
update your JDK driver library file
test different JDK and JREs (like JDK 6 and 7)
don't change max_allowed_packet
"max_allowed_packet" is a variable in MySQL config file that indicates the maximum packet size, not the maximum number of packets. So it will not help to solve this error.
change tomcat security
change TOMCAT6_SECURITY=yes to TOMCAT6_SECURITY=no
use validationQuery property
use validationQuery="select now()" to make sure each query has responses
AutoReconnect
Add this code to your connection string:
&autoReconnect=true&failOverReadOnly=false&maxReconnects=10
Although non of these solutions worked for me, I suggest you to try them. Because there are some people who solved their problem with following these steps.
But what solved my problem?
My problem was that I had many SELECTs on database. Each time I was creating a connection and then closing it. Although I was closing the connection every time, but the system faced with many connections and gave me that error. What I did was that I defined my connection variable as a public (or private) variable for whole class and initialized it in the constructor. Then every time I just used that connection. It solved my problem and also increased my speed dramatically.
#Conclusion#
There is no simple and unique way to solve this problem. I suggest you to think about your own situation and choose above solutions. If you take this error at the beginning of the program and you are not able to connect to the database at all, you might have problem in your connection string. But If you take this error after several successful interaction to the database, the problem might be with number of connections and you may think about changing "wait_timeout" and other MySQL settings or rewrite your code how that reduce number of connections.
If you are using MAMP PRO, the easy fix, which I really wish I had realized before I started searching the internet for days trying to figure this out. Its really this simple...
You just have to click "Allow Network Access to MySQL" from the MAMP MySQL tab.
Really, thats it.
Oh, and you MIGHT have to still change your bind address to either 0.0.0.0 or 127.0.0.1 like outlined in the posts above, but clicking that box alone will probably solve your problems if you are a MAMP user.
Setting the bind-address to the server's network IP instead of the localhost default, and setting privileges on my user worked for me.
my.cnf:
bind-address = 192.168.123.456
MySql Console:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dbname.* to username#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
In my case,
Change the remote machine mysql configuration at /etc/mysql/my.cnf: change
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
to
#bind-address = 127.0.0.1
On the remote machine, change mysql user permissions with
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'user'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
IMPORTANT: restart mysql on the remote machine: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
I've just faced the same problem.
It happened because the MySQL Daemon was binded to the IP of the machine, which is required to make connection with an user that has permission to connect #your_machine.
In this case, the user should have permission to connect USER_NAME#MACHINE_NAME_OR_IP
I wanted remote access to my machine so I changed in my.cnf from
bind-address = MY_IP_ADDRESS
To
bind-address = 0.0.0.0
Which will allow an user from localhost AND even outside (in my case) to connect to the instance.
Both below permissions will work if you bind the MySQL to 0.0.0.0:
USER_NAME#MACHINE_NAME_OR_IP
USER_NAME#localhost
In my case (I am a noob), I was testing Servlet that make database connection with MySQL and one of the Exception is the one mentioned above.
It made my head swing for some seconds but I came to realize that it was because I have not started my MySQL server in localhost.
After starting the server, the problem was fixed.
So, check whether MySQL server is running properly.
In case you are having problem with a set of Docker containers, then make sure that you do not only EXPOSE the port 3306, but as well map the port from outside the container -p 3306:3306. For docker-compose.yml:
version: '2'
services:
mdb:
image: mariadb:10.1
ports:
- "3306:3306"
…
In my case it was an idle timeout, that caused the connection to be dropped on the server. The connection was kept open, but not used for a long period of time. Then a client restart works, while I believe a reconnect will work as well.
A not bad solution is to have a daemon/service to ping the connection from time to time.
As the detailed answer above says, this error can be caused by many things.
I had this problem too. My setup was Mac OSX 10.8, using a Vagrant managed VirtualBox VM of Ubuntu 12.04, with MySQL 5.5.34.
I had correctly setup port forwarding in the Vagrant config file. I could telnet to the MySQL instance both from my Mac and from within the VM. So I knew the MySQL daemon was running and reachable. But when I tried to connect over JDBC, I got the "Communications link failure" error.
In my case, the problem was solved by editing the /etc/mysql/my.cnf file. Specifically, I commented out the "#bind-address=127.0.0.1" line.
The resolution provided by Soheil was successful in my case.
To clarify, the only change I needed to make was with MySQL's server configuration;
bind-address = **INSERT-IP-HERE**
I am using an external MySQL server for my application. It is a basic Debian 7.5 installation with MySQL Server 5.5 - default configuration.
IMPORTANT:
Always backup the original of any configuration files you may modify. Always take care when elevated as super user.
File
/etc/mysql/my.cnf
Line
bind-address = 192.168.0.103 #127.0.0.1
Restart your MySQL Server service:
/usr/sbin/service mysql restart
As you can see, I simply provided the network IP of the server and commented out the default entry. Please note that simply copy and paste my solution will not work for you, unless by some miracle our hosts share the same IP.
Thanks # Soheil
I know this is an old thread but I have tried numerous things and fixed my issue using the following means..
I'm developing a cross platform app on Windows but to be used on Linux and Windows servers.
A MySQL database called "jtm" installed on both systems. For some reason, in my code I had the database name as "JTM". On Windows it worked fine, in fact on several Windows systems it flew along.
On Ubuntu I got the error above time and time again. I tested it out with the correct case in the code "jtm" and it works a treat.
Linux is obviously a lot less forgiving about case sensitivity (rightly so), whereas Windows makes allowances.
I feel a bit daft now but check everything. The error message is not the best but it does seem fixable if you persevere and get things right.
I just restarted MySQL (following a tip from here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/14238800) and it solved the issue.
I had the same issue on MacOS (10.10.2) and MySql (5.6.21) installed via homebrew.
The confusing thing was that one of my apps connected to the database fine and the other was not.
After trying many things on the app that threw the exception com.mysql.jdbc.CommunicationsException as suggested by the accepted answer of this question to no avail, I was surprised that restarting MySQL worked.
The cause of my issue might have been the following as suggested in the answer in the aforementioned link:
Are you using connection pool ? If yes, then try to restart the
server. Probably few of the connections in your connection pool are in closed state.
It happens (in my case) when there is not enough memory for MySQL. A restart fixes it, but if that's the case consider a nachine with more memory, or limit the memory taken by jvms
Go to Windows services in the control panel and start the MySQL service. For me it worked. When I was doing a Java EE project I got this error" Communication link failure". I restarted my system and then it worked.
After that I again got the same error even after restarting my system. Then I tried to open the MySQL command line console and login with root, even then it gave me an error.
Finally when I started the MySQL service from Windows services, it worked.
Had the same.
Removing port helped in my case, so I left it as jdbc:mysql://localhost/
For me the solution was to change in the conf file of mysql server the parameter bind-address="127.0.0.1" or bind-address="x.x.x.x" to bind-address="0.0.0.0".
Thanks.
If you are using hibernate, this error can be caused for keeping open a Session object more time than wait_timeout
I've documented a case in here for those who are interested.
I found the solution
since MySQL need the Localhost in-order to work.
go to /etc/network/interfaces file and make sure you have the localhost configuration set there:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
NOW RESTART the Networking subsystem and the MySQL Services:
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
Try it now
It is majorly because of weak connection between mysql client and remote mysql server.
In my case it is because of flaky VPN connection.
In phpstorm + vagrant autoReconnect driver option helped.
I was experiencing similar problem and the solution for my case was
changing bind-address = 0.0.0.0 from 127.0.0.1
changing url's localhost to localhost:3306
the thing i felt is we should never give up, i tried every options from this post and from other forums as well...happy it works #saurab
I faced this problem also.
As Soheil suggested,
I went to php.ini file at the path C:\windows\php.ini , then I revised port number in this file.
it is on the line mysqli.default_port =..........
So I changed it in my java app as it's in the php.ini file,now it works fine with me.
For Windows :-
Goto start menu write , "MySqlserver Instance Configuration Wizard" and reconfigure your mysql server instance.
Hope it will solve your problem.
After years having the same issue and no permanent solution this is whats solved it for the past 3 weeks (which is a record in terms of error free operation)
set global wait_timeout=3600;
set global interactive_timeout=230400;
Don't forget to make this permanent if it works for you.
If you are using local emulator, you have to use IP address 10.0.2.2 instead of localhost to access to your local MySQL server.
I'm trying to set up a RabbitMQ server (version 3.7.4, installed via homebrew on macOS 10.13.4) such that my colleagues can work with it via the internal network. We are using the official Java client (com.rabbitmq:amqp-client:5.2.0). Unfortunately, they only get a ConnectException with the message Connection refused:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused (Connection refused)

We already set up another user account (not guest) which has admin privileges. With almost the same Java code I can connect locally (setting the host to localhost) but not if I use my IP address. According to the RabbitMQ docs, the RabbitMQ server binds to all network interfaces by default (otherwise I would have said that it's a problem with address binding). I disabled my firewall so that shouldn't be the problem.
Here's the respective code:
final ConnectionFactory connectionFactory = new ConnectionFactory();
connectionFactory.setUsername("username");
connectionFactory.setPassword("password");
connectionFactory.setHost("10.10.33.12");
connectionFactory.setPort(5672);
connectionFactory.setVirtualHost("/");
try (final Connection connection = connectionFactory.newConnection()) {
// doo stuff with the connection
}
I finally found the actual problem and it's not related to Java or how I configured the ConnectionFactory. It was indeed a problem how the RabbitMQ package for homebrew is configured. In the rabbitmq-env.conf file, there was the following setting
NODE_IP_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1
This setting caused RabbitMQ to only listen on 127.0.0.1 for incoming connections. Once I removed the setting and restarted the service, I could connect from other machines as well.
Thank you all for your help!
The issue is not with your code. I would suggest you to check such things:
RabbitMQ Server is up and running
Your custom user can access virtual host "/"
Check firewall settings if any, probably it's refusing connection with remote host
One of these should be the cause, hope it helps!

I get this exception when I try to connect a remote client to my server. In both, server and client the hostName for the registryUrl of rmi is the public IP address of the server. I also tried to put localhost in server but the error doesn't change.
My java.policy is set to grant all connections to all ports and I have no firewalls enabled in the server or the client.
Any suggestions what could be?
This is item A.1 in the RMI FAQ. You need to either fix your /etc/hosts file or set the java.rmi.server.hostname property at the server.
PROBLEM SOLVED
I had exactly the same error. When the remote object got binded to the rmiregistry it was attached with the loopback IP Address which will obviously fail if you try to invoke a method from a remote address. In order to fix this we need to set the java.rmi.server.hostname property to the IP address where other devices can reach your rmiregistry over the network. It doesn't work when you try to set the parameter through the JVM. It worked for me just by adding the following line to my code just before binding the object to the rmiregistry:
System.setProperty("java.rmi.server.hostname","192.168.1.2");
In this case the IP address on the local network of the PC binding the remote object on the RMI Registry is 192.168.1.2.
you can use LocateRegistry such as:
Registry rgsty = LocateRegistry.createRegistry(1888);
rgsty.rebind("hello", hello);
I found many of the Q&A on this topic, not nothing was helping me - that's because my issue was more basic ( what can I say I am not a networking guru :) ). My ip address in /etc/hosts was incorrect. What I had tried included the following for CATALINA_OPTS:
CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -Djava.awt.headless=true -Xmx128M -server
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=7091
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false
-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=A.B.C.D" #howeverI put the wrong ip here!
export CATALINA_OPTS
My problem was that I had changed my ip address many months ago, but never updated my /etc/hosts file. it seems that by default the jconsole uses the hostname -i ip address in some fashion even though I was viewing local processes. The best solution was to simply change the /etc/hosts file.
The other solution which can work is to get your correct ip address from /sbin/ifconfig and use that ip address when specifying the ip address in, for example, a catalina.sh script:
-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=A.B.C.D
If you're running in a Linux environment, open the file /etc/hosts.allow
add the following line
ALL
Wildcards
Also check the /etc/hostname and /etc/host to see if there might be something wrong there.
I had to change my / etc / host from
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 AMK
to
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 AMK
also wrote in ALL in the file /etc/hosts.allow which was previously completely empty
Now everything works
do not know how safe it is. you have to read more about possible options for /etc/hosts.allow to do something that requires a touch of security.
Maybe your rmiregistry not be created before client trying connect to your server and it would lead to this exception.In Linux, you can use "netstat" to check your rmiregistry be bond on the right port you assigned in java code.
If you've tried modifying etc/hosts and adding java.rmi.server.hostname property as well but still registry is being bind to 127.0.0.1
the issue for me was resolved after explicitly setting System property through code though the same property wasn't picked from jvm args
It works for me after getting rid of "::1" in /etc/hosts.
I had the same exact problem and my issue was that I had 2 IP addresses from 2 different networks configured in the etc/hosts as below.
10.xxx.x.xxx localhost
192.xxx.x.xxx localhost
This should be because there was a conflict as to which IP to be used for the other devices to reach the rmiregistry over the network.
Once I removed the extra-record that is not required, I was able to solve the issue.
So my etc/hosts file had only the following record.
10.xxx.x.xxx localhost
In my case I was unable to edit the hosts file because using a pc from the university.
I fixed the problem running rmiregistry in another port (instead of 1099) with:
rmiregistry <port>
and then running the server on that port.
It was basically an error caused by occupied port.
when you want to connect to remote server with RMI you must add a system property same as:
System.setProperty("java.rmi.server.hostname","Ip or DNS of the server");
or add environment variable.
For me I got Connection Refused and solve it by adding this line of code in server side:
java -jar -Djava.rmi.server.hostname="ip or dns of the server" packageName.jar
Thank to other guy for guide me to solve it.
On Windows make sure your Windows firewall is correctly configure / disabled. I had to disable the Windows firewall (because I didn't bother with configuring it) to get things to work even when I was testing with localhost.
When I got the same error on my machine ("connection is refused"), the reason was that I had defined the following on the server side:
Naming.rebind("rmi://localhost:8080/AddService"
,addService);
Thus the server binds both the IP = 127.0.0.1 and the port 8080.
But on the client side I had used:
AddServerInterface st = (AddServerInterface)Naming.lookup("rmi://localhost"
+"/AddService");
Thus I forgot to add the port number after the localhost, so I rewrote the above command and added the port number 8080 as follows:
AddServerInterface st = (AddServerInterface)Naming.lookup("rmi://localhost:8080"
+"/AddService");
and everything worked fine.
You can simply use:
on server side:
Registry <objectName1> = LocateRegistry.createRegistry(1099);
Registry <objectName2> = LocateRegistry.getRegistry();
on Client Side:
Registry <object name you want> = LocateRegistry.getRegistry();
I am trying to install "Kwok information server" and I am new to postgreSQL. I just followed the installation guide of Kwok information server.
when I am trying to install kwok-schema-setup.jar file using java through postgreSQL server in Command Prompt, I am getting the following error..."Connecting to PostgreSQL Server ...failed. Connection refused. Check that the ho
stname and port are correct and that the postmaster is accepting TCP/IP connecti
ons. Cause: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
Schema setup encountered errors" .
And when I am trying to connect to the server using pgAdmin III, I am getting the following error "Server doesn't listen
The server doesn't accept connections: the connection library reports
could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host "127.0.0.1" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? ".
Please anyone help me regarding, Thanks in advance!!
Looks like your Postgresql daemon is not running. Check if the server has started and is running. I dont know which OS you are using but try ps -ax on linux/mac or the task manager in windows.
Maybe a firewall that is blocking the connection, you have to provide more information about your environment to be sure.
