Applet not functioning properly on remote machine.

[vinh]

Right now, I have a Windows 2K Adv. Server box running Tomcat. I can load up the web page I've made using the server (i.e. localhost), but when I try to access the webpage from another computer (on my network), I get a SQL error that reads as follows:

Caught SQLException: Communications link failure due to underlying exception: 

** BEGIN NESTED EXCEPTION ** 

java.net.SocketException
MESSAGE: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission 127.0.0.1:3306 connect,resolve)

STACKTRACE:

** END NESTED EXCEPTION **

I was wondering what this meant, and how I would work around this and fix it.

I dont have much exposure to tomcat, but it is possible that your mysql database is set to take connections from localhost only.

Kind regards,
