Bitbucket setup restarts after creating tables

Christodoulos Mouskos

After setting up external database (mysql) the setup wizard restarts.

I can see that the tables are created.

In the logs I see some expections

com.atlassian.stash.internal.migration.DatabaseMigrationException: Backup of Active Objects data from /var/atlassian/application-data/bitbucket/tmp/backup-anonymous-20190320-123746-447Z.zip-unpacked7388014936486468009/active-objects-data

Issue was with the MySQL driver (8.0.15)

We confused with the supported MySQL server version found under

https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/supported-platforms-776640981.html

Although in the 

https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/connecting-bitbucket-server-to-mysql-776640382.html

it has "Bitbucket Server only supports MySQL JDBC version 5.1."

Installing 5.1.47 resolved this
