title: how to get rid of network error(TCP_ERROR) in BIRT?
body: <p>I am new to <a href="/questions/tagged/birt" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged 'birt'" rel="tag">birt</a> and would like to see if it meets our reporting needs. I am trying to use BIRT from my <em>Windows 7</em> laptop to create a report which accesses a <code>MySQL</code> database. I am using the <code>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</code> driver and connecting to the mysql database using the URL: <code>jdbc:mysql://servername:3306/databasename</code> and the test connection is successful and event previewing the data from the Data Set is successful but when I try and run the report I get the error </p>

    The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time.</p>

  <p>Has anyone seen this before and if so, how do I overcome this? </p>
