Communications link failure with jdbc and mysql in

Question

I am trying to insert data from a java file into the mysql database which is installed in another system.

This is my java file

package serverDemo;

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.util.Scanner;

import com.mysql.jdbc.PreparedStatement;
import com.mysql.jdbc.Statement;

public class TestIn {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

        System.out.println("Enter the values");
        System.out.println("id:  ");
        int id = sc.nextInt();
        System.out.println("name:  ");
        String name = sc.next();
        System.out.println("age:  ");
        int age = sc.nextInt();

        try {
            Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://192.168.43.116:3306/datacollect","root","spectrum7tech");
            System.out.println ("Database connection established");

            /*Statement stmt=(Statement) con.createStatement();
            stmt.executeUpdate("insert into ser_test_detail.details("+id+",'"+name+"',"+age+")");*/

            PreparedStatement st=(PreparedStatement) con.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO datacollect.namedetails(id, name, age) VALUES(?,?,?)");
            st.setInt(1,id);
            st.setString(2,name);
            st.setInt(3,age);
            st.executeUpdate();

        } catch (Exception e) {
            // TODO: handle exception
             System.err.println("Got an exception! "); 
             System.err.println(e.getMessage()); 
             e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

The given hostname is of the another system containing mysql database.

I am getting exception details in console

Enter the values
id:  
24
name:  
easrdtfghj
age:  
23
Got an exception!

I have tried with IP address instead of hostname.

How can I establish the connection?

Please, help me out.

Answer 1

1) go to my.cnf

2) Comment bind-address(As it is accepting to local connections only)

"bind-address = 127.0.0.1"

to

"#bind-address = 127.0.0.1"

3) Restart mysql
