Unable to do the database setup in confluence7.13.4 my local machine

Peruma Chinnasamy

Dear team,

In my local system I am doing confluence 7.13.4   local setup on windows  for development purpose..

Installation was completed successfully while doing confluence setup in UI it asking database setup.

I was downloaded Mysql server in my local and I was created default root user in Mysql workbench. Then I filled hostname, port, database name, user name and password then try to test connection when below error message I am getting

"

Can't reach database server or port

SQLState - 08S01
com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure The last packet successfully received from the server was 118 milliseconds ago. The last packet sent successfully to the server was 110 milliseconds ago."

 

And then I was downloaded mysql connector jar and deployed in lib folder.

After restarting tomcat I am getting below error in UI

 

"BootstrapException: Unable to bootstrap application: Couldn't save confluence.cfg.xml to C:\Program Files\Atlassian\Application Data\Confluence directory."

 

Kindly help me to do confluence local setup.  If I did any wrong step let me know to correct that step.

 

 

Thanks and Regards

Hi @Peruma Chinnasamy ,

Welcome to Atlassian community. 

It sounds like your user might not have the proper permissions to write to that directory.

Have a look here: Unable to Complete Installation Due to File Permissions

Once your user is given the proper read/write permissions then it should be able to save the file.
