[FIXED] ping failed error in connection testing : MySQL

Issue

I'm trying to connect to a MySQL database using hibernate.

I'm testing the connection using this :

My wamp is installed on port number 80, my database name is hibernate_test, both my username and password are "ingenius".

I installed the mysql-connector-java-5.1.0-bin jar

I enabled remote Access to MySQL and WAMP Server by editing the c:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.17\conf\httpd.conf file :

<Directory "c:/wamp/www/">
    ExecCGI MultiViews
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride all
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all    
</Directory>

and I keep getting the ping failed error. I don't know where I'm wrong !!! Please help!

Solution

change your jdbc url to

jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/hibernate_test

and you should be through, as mysql's default port in 3306
