Jira Server startup: Database: Missing Database Driver

Youkang Shon

I do not have MySQL driver, and I have created a Jira server with a setup that they create for me instead of custom set up. Now I cannot open my server with an error saying "We couldn't find a driver for your MySQL database. You'll need to download and install the correct driver to allow JIRA to start and connect to your database.
Review our documentation for more information on installing database drivers." So I did download the drivers and put it in the lib folder and it is still giving me the same error. How do I fix this? If there isn't any way, how can I restart? I am using the server in Mac OS (Java installed).

Hi,

Have you restarted your Jira instance after putting driver to the lib folder?

Youkang Shon

Yes, I have. When I shutdown Jira, i no longer get a message of Tomcat has ended. I get a message of:

PID file found but no matching process was found. Stop aborted.

Dear @Youkang Shon,

it depends also on the right driver version. Have a look at my article and follow my instructions there.

So long

Thomas

Thank you, but I'm using Mac OS version so I can't seem to follow your instructions directly.

Just download the version from the Maven Repo and place the driver in the folder 'lib' of your Jira directory (not the Jira Home folder).

I just downloaded the version and placed it in the folder, but it still doesn't work
