when trying to connect to a mysql database I get the following error in Coldfusion:

Connection verification failed for data source: zipcodes
java.sql.SQLException: Communication failure during handshake. Is there a server running on 127.0.0.1:3306?
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: Communication failure during handshake. Is there a server running on 127.0.0.1:3306?

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Looks like you are using an earlier version of CF. I believe this was fixed
in 7

See if this helps:

Ken,
Thanks for your help. I am new at coldfusion so don't be afraid to state the obvious... I now get this error:

Connection verification failed for data source: zipcodes
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver available for zipcodes, please check the driver setting in resources file, error: null
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver available for zipcodes, please check the driver setting in resources file, error: null

This is the settings that I have in literal text:
CF DATA SOURCE NAME: zipcodes
JDBC URL: jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/zipcodes
DRIVER CLASS: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
USER NAME: zip_user
PASSWORD: *****
