If you are working with Database in your app using ORM or Spring JDBC/Spring Boot JPA, you may get this exception,
Exception:Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.jdbc.CannotGetJdbcConnectionException:
Failed to obtain JDBC Connection; nested exception is com.mysql.cj.jdbc.exceptions.CommunicationsException:
Communications link failure
The last packet sent successfully to the server was 0 milliseconds ago.
The driver has not received any packets from the server.
Caused by: com.mysql.cj.exceptions.CJCommunicationsException: Communications link failure
Fix/Solutions:
- Make sure your Database is up. Check connection to the database via DB Client or Console. Try doing telnet.
- How you defined the right database Hostname/IP Address in your JDBC DriverManager Connection URL?
- Have you defined the right Database server Port?
- Make sure your firewall settings are not restricting access.
- Make sure you have Internet connectivity.
- Make sure the Database server if having an IP Whitelisting policy, your IP is listed.
- If the Database Server is on Cloud (AWS/Azure/GCS), the right policies are set.
- If Database is on Docker Container, make sure the host port is exposed and accesiible
