How do I connect to mysql database in Grails? - mysql

Question

I have an Amazon ec2 mysql database which I connected in my local machine. I have created a database in it named locker.
And I uncommented the line in BuildConfig.groovy to add mysql connector.
Here is my DataSource.groovy file :
dataSource {
pooled = true
driverClassName = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
dialect = "org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect"
}
hibernate {
cache.use_second_level_cache = true
cache.use_query_cache = false
cache.region.factory_class = 'net.sf.ehcache.hibernate.EhCacheRegionFactory'
}
// environment specific settings
environments {
development {
dataSource {
dbCreate = "create" // one of 'create', 'create-drop', 'update', 'validate', ''
url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/locker?useUnicode=yes&characterEncoding=UTF-8"
username = "anto"
password = "****"
}
hibernate {
show_sql = true
}
}
test {
dataSource {
dbCreate = "update"
url = "jdbc:h2:mem:testDb;MVCC=TRUE;LOCK_TIMEOUT=10000"
}
}
production {
dataSource {
dbCreate = "update"
url = "jdbc:h2:prodDb;MVCC=TRUE;LOCK_TIMEOUT=10000"
pooled = true
properties {
maxActive = -1
minEvictableIdleTimeMillis=1800000
timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis=1800000
numTestsPerEvictionRun=3
testOnBorrow=true
testWhileIdle=true
testOnReturn=true
validationQuery="SELECT 1"
}
}
}
}
But when I tried to run my grails app I get an big error like this :

I'm very new to grails. What went wrong? Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

It looks like the username and password you are using are not valid:
Access denied for user 'anto'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
This isn't a Grails problem, it's a general permissions problem.

Answer 2

Check out this question. It discusses configuring MySQL to allow remote connections and JDBC. You may need to configure MySQL to allow remote connections because the JDBC drive uses TCP/IP sockets to connect to the database regardless of where the database server is running and where the JDBC client is running.

Answer 3

Well, there might be two reasons(or more) of that problem. One is the permission reason, which you should give to your specific user.
Also, I have noticed that in your DataSource.groovy, the url is set to be:
url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/locker?useUnicode=yes&characterEncoding=UTF-8"
Just to notice, you might forget to add your mysql port in the url, which would lead to the same problem. The way I did is like:
url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/locker:1234?useUnicode=yes&characterEncoding=UTF-8"
