Coldfusion 6.1 Data Source Issue

I'm creating a Datasource in Coldfusion 6.1 and I've set it up correctly, I'm sure, with the right name, password, default database, etc. I've checked this against the settings I used to run queries against the database, for instance, with other tools.

The system does not say the name or password is incorrect, which it does when I have them wrong, instead it says:

Connection verification failed for data source: fln
[]java.sql.SQLException: Communication failure during handshake. Is there a server running on localhost:3306?
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: Communication failure during handshake. Is there a server running on localhost:3306?


This is odd, as it would suggest I've got the name and password for the DSN correct (as it says when I have them wrong) but it's suggesing no MySQL is running, even though it is as I can use a query tool with the same credentials?

Any ideas?

Sorted, had to update the JDBC driver.
