Hello,
I was trying to connect to the Camunda H2 database via the H2 Console at http://localhost:8080/h2/h2. But when I try to establish a connection I (immediately) receive the error message
Connection is broken: "java.net.SocketTimeoutException: connect timed out: localhost"
I am using the following settings:
driver: org.h2.Driver
url: jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost/~/test
user: sa
password: sa
I am running the tomcat version of camunda that I downloaded from the camunda site (I made no changes or configurations yet).
Does anybody can explain me how I can solve this timeout problem? Can I configure the timeout value of the used camunda application somewhere in the configuration files?
Regards
Michael
Hi @michael.n and welcome to the Camunda community!
From what you’ve posted, it looks like the url in your settings is missing a port number for the H2 database. The jdbc connector needs to know what port to use for the connection.

Hi @davidgs,
explicitly defining the port did not help. But your answer motivated me to rethink all the steps I’ve done so far. At the end I got the solution how to connect to the camunda-bpm-tomcat database 
The decisive hint I got on the following site of the Camunda documentation:
Install the Pre-Packaged Distribution
There you can find a description on how to access the standard H2 database of the prepacked version of Camunda.
The connection settings are as follows:
jdbc:h2:./camunda-h2-dbs/process-engine
User: sa
Password: sa
This means also that you have to use the embedded version of H2 instead of the server version.
Many thanks for your help!
Regards
Michael
