I'm a real MySQL newbie but I think I have MySQL5 installed and a db created on localhost:3306 (SQL Manager 2005 Lite tells me this is OK)

In the CF administrator I type the datasource name. When I select a driver from the drop down there is no MySQL 5 so I select MySQL3.x (is this a problem?). I add the server, username, password. When I OK this I get...

"Connection verification failed for data source: farcry_test
java.sql.SQLException: Communication failure during handshake. Is there a server running on localhost:3306?
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: Communication failure during handshake. Is there a server running on localhost:3306?"

Any idea what the issue is?
