I attempted to connect a MySQL database I have a free hosting account, although I am not able to connect to MySQL database. Here is my code:
<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>
<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>Connection with mysql database</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Connection status</h1>
<%
try {
String connectionURL = "jdbc:mysql://mysql2.000webhost.com/a3932573_product";
Connection connection = null;
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionURL, "a3932573_dibya", "******");
if(!connection.isClosed())
out.println("Successfully connected to " + "MySQL server using TCP/IP...");
connection.close();
}catch(Exception ex){
out.println("Unable to connect to database.");
}
%>
</font>
</body>
</html>
And it's displaying the message like "Connection Status unable to connect to the database". I have tested this connection using PHP using the same username, password and the database name.
So where am I making the mistake?
