[Squirrel-sql-users] No connection to mysql

[Benedick M. <ben...@ya...>]

Hello

I have just installed Squirrel 2.0 final
and Java (j2re1.5-sun)
and Jdbc Drivers: mysql-connector-java-3.1.10-bin.jar (from MySQL AB)
on a machine running Ubuntu Linux "Hoary"

After all this work (!) i cannot connect to the mysql server.

My Alias (using either MySQL or MMMySQL driver, I have tried both) looks 
like this:

jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/contact_list

Is there something wrong there?

Should I be using MySQL or MMMySQL driver?
What is the difference?

I can connect to mysql on port 3306 fine from the command line.
I have no idea what the problem is. Any help much appreciated.

Ben
