Could not find driver with class name: com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver

[vaddhi raghunath]

Hello Team , I already copied mysql-connector-j-8.3.0.jar to /opt/atlassian/jira/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/lib

jira@jira-poc-0:/opt/atlassian/jira/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/lib$ ls -l mysql-plugin/
total 5136
-rw-r--r--. 1 jira jira 1610 Apr 15 10:39 MySQLConnectionTest.class
-rw-r--r--. 1 jira jira 812 Apr 15 10:39 MySQLConnectionTest.java
-rw-r--r--. 1 jira jira 2495536 Apr 15 09:10 mysql-connector-j-8.3.0.jar
-rw-r--r--. 1 jira jira 2415211 Apr 15 11:09 mysql-connector-java-8.0.23.jar
jira@jira-poc-0:/opt/atlassian/jira/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/lib$ pwd
/opt/atlassian/jira/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/lib
jira@jira-poc-0:/opt/atlassian/jira/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/lib$

But still jira is unable to load the driver. DId I miss anything ...

Hi, the right path is:

<Jira-installation-directory>/lib
/opt/atlassian/jira/lib/
