Lib Directory Not Found When Using FISHEYE_INST

Question

I am upgrading our lab Crucible/Fisheye instance in lab to 3.0.2 and as part of the process am trying to set it up to use the FISHEYE_INST.  I have followed the directions at https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CRUCIBLE/Crucible+upgrade+guide#Crucibleupgradeguide-UpgradingtoCrucible3.0 including copying the data, var and cache directories.  However, I cannot start the app up and get this error in the log:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Database not available (Unable to connect to MySQL database jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/crucible?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF8&sessionVariables=storage_engine=InnoDB: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver: is the database driver jar file properly installed in the FISHEYE_INST/lib directory?). Current state: NO_DB

Why is Crucible/Fisheye looking for the lib directory in FISHEYE_INST/lib instead of in the directory where I extracted the application zip file?

I could copy the lib directory to the FISHEYE_INST directory as well, but that doesn't appear to be the way it was designed to work.

Hi there,

Please download the jdbc driver from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/ and extract the connector file on your FISHEYE_INST/lib, then restart FishEye and give another try restarting it.

Please let me know how it goes.

Regards.
