Hi all,

I'm totally new to kona cart and not a programmer, so apologies if I'm asking an obvious question.

During the install when i get to connect to database section I get this error:

Connection Parameters:
   User       = root
   Password   = ********
   Driver     = com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
   Url        = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/kona?zeroDateTimeBehavior=convertToNull
Message:   Communications link failure due to underlying exception:

Please correct the errors before running KonaKart.
You can find help in the KonaKart FAQs and in the KonaKart Forum.


All of the above is kinda meaningless to me, what I need to know is how to fix the problem.

I'm running jre 1.6

My db is located at C:\wamp\mysql\data\kona

Thanks in advance
