Hi all,
I need to accomplish a project for final examination at school. My idea is to present a
java desktop application for family management. All the information and expenses are stored in a MySql database. Unfortunately I don't have any administration rights in the computer at school. This implies two main problems: I can't install neither the JVM nor the MySql database. To solve the first one, I download the JRE.tar.gz and ran the app through the command:
start javaw.exe -jar myapp.jar, and it worked correctly. For the second one, I tried to use a MySql instance in my home server and also another MySql instance provided by Amazon Web Services. I tested my app in many computers of my friend and both the connection to MySql database worked correctly, but not in the computer at school. I receive error 2003 (10061). I'm quite sure to have granted the right permissions to the user so I was wondering if it could be a sort of problem with the school firewall. In both MySql instances I set the 3306 port. I have a very very basic knowledge of networking but I suppose that, when I try to connect to MySql, the server port is the 3306...but when the server send data to the client, which port in the client is used? Maybe it could be firewalled?
Someone can help me to understand the way to solve this problem? Thank you for the help and sorry for my bad English.
