Hello friends. I can connect to this datasource with these settings (changed for privacy) from my local machine, with Dbeav, on the same machine that has lucee running and I am getting this error when trying to setup the datasoure. What am I boneheadedly doing? Props to the Jedimaster for his lighthouse app. (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.)

can you please check if the MySQL DB is running in services?

to add - i was able to fix this by simply updating the MySql drivers in the Lucee admin to current release, and all things worked!
