unable to connect to mysql in atlassian confluance

i am trying to install atlassian confluance on a centos5 virtual mach.; i am facing probelm in connecting to the mysql server using jdbc.mysql connection.
drive class
i get an error
" The following error(s) occurred:

    * Configuring the database failed. Couldn't create the database schema.
    * java.sql.SQLException: Server connection failure during transaction. Attemtped reconnect 3 times. Giving up."


let me give you teh settings i have done till now
installed jdk in /urs/jdk1.5.0_18

in /etc/profile i have typed the following settings
export JAVA_HOME=/urs/jdk1.5.0_18
export JRE_HOME=/usr/jdk1.5.0_18/jre
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$JRE_HOME/bin
and rebooted the system

after that i placed the confluance folder in the /var/confluence-2.10.1-std

and set the CATALINA_HOME & CATALINA_BASE with command export to CATALINA_HOME=/var/confluence-2.10.1-std CATALINA_BASE=/var/confluence-2.10.1-std on shell prompt.

i tested all the variables on shell if the return valid paths and the did.

the i started the confluence from /var/confluence-2.10.1-std/bin/ by typing following command on shell
chmod +x *.sh
./catalina.sh run
and when i type http://101.168.1.39:8080 or http://localhost:8080 i see the  conflunce setup page
after entring the key and selecting the custom install i land on the database page where i select "Direct JDBC Connection" and select mysql fomr the dropdown list.
on the next page i get the configuration for the jdbc as following

Driver Class Name:         com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
Database URL:       jdbc:mysql://localhost/confluence?autoReconnect=true
User Name:       confluance
Password: 12345
and i click next
first time i got error that i dont have jdbc.mysql driver installed on my server so i downloded the
mysql-connector-java-3.0.6-stable-bin.jar form internet and placed in /usr/jdk1.5.0_18/jre/lib/ext/
as i found this step from the tutorial.
after that i restarted my server and again started the mysql database configuration process in confluence and this time i provided the same details again and this time i got a new error:
"" The following error(s) occurred:

    * Configuring the database failed. Couldn't create the database schema.
    * java.sql.SQLException: Server connection failure during transaction. Attemtped reconnect 3 times. Giving up.""
 i have not done any thing rather then the steps i mentioned.how can get through the error and install the conflence on linux machine with mysql as database. is there some thing i am missing in this process. i just typed what i typed while confg. my mach nothing extra or less was typed.

Have you created the user & shema "confluence"?
And are you correct ... you are sometimes writing "confluance" (with an a) and sometimes "confluence", so don't get them mixed up.

mysql -u confluence confluence -p
and i am able to login into mysql as user confluence and connect to database confluence. but still i am reciving the same error.
