Communication failure during Jira installation with MySQL database

Ananta Ram das

Hi Team,

 

During installation of Jira software I'm experiencing following issue:

    Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: Could not retrieve transation read-only status server

I have already find following article https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/mysql-communication-link-failure-214338032.html however it does not help.

I have following MySQL server installed on my server is  5.7.21-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 and already tried following drivers:
5.1.35, 5.1.36 and 5.1.45

If you haven't already, check out this article on setting up the mysql database for Atlassian products.  This article details setting up the individual database, and modifying the settings within mysql's my.cnf file.

https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver073/connecting-jira-applications-to-mysql-861253043.html

I have found that the mysql driver version 5.1.44 has worked the best for me.  These are the settings I have in my 'my.cnf' file.

[mysqld]
character-set-server=utf8
collation-server=utf8_bin
default-storage-engine=INNODB
max_allowed_packet=256M
innodb_log_file_size=2GB
transaction-isolation=READ-COMMITTED

I just setup a development jira server and attempted to use the .45 driver and the installation seemed to have trouble finding it, but found it immediately when I used the .44 driver.
