Subject Debugging connection failure
Author David Warnock
Hi,

I am trying to get Jaybird to work on a new machine runing firebird CS
1.0.2 on linux.

Using isql this works

SQL> connect localhost:/home/david/dev/test/db-ojb/data/test.gdb;
Database: localhost:/home/david/dev/test/db-ojb/data/test.gdb
SQL>

Using really basic java code as a first test this does not work:

try {
Class.forName("org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBDriver");
DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:firebirdsql:localhost:/home/david/dev/test/db-ojb/data/test.gdb",
"sysdba",
"masterkey");

System.out.println("Got Connection");
}
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception: " + e);
}

When I run I see

Exception: java.sql.SQLException: Problem getting connection: Unable to
complete network request to host "localhost"

I am sure I have done/am doing something stupid but I can't see it at
the moment.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Dave
