0xDBE how to connect over local socket?
Your host is wrong, to use the socket it must be "localhost", not the socket address.

The url for JDBC to use a socket for connection is:

jdbc:mysql://localhost:3307/my database name?socket=/home/aspect_mkn8rd/tmp/mysql.sock

(leaving out here the definition of a user and password, as your software seems to require it apart, it would be &amp;user=my user&amp;password=my password)
