Unable to connect to my localhost DB (MySQL DATABASE) using SOAPUI

Hi Team,

I am new to SoapUI and trying to connect my local database to execute some test cases.

I keep on getting the below error message when I check my connection. I have added the driver .jar file as suggested in the right place.

 

Thu Aug 02 09:02:16 PDT 2018:ERROR:An error occurred [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.], see error log for details

 

ErrorLog:
