update the mysql database driver from 5.1.38 to 5.1.42 on Linux

Question

How do I update the mysql database driver from 5.1.38 to 5.1.42

I have put the driver in the WEB-INF\lib, but some functionality such as Team Calendars

is looking for the old driver

Hi Craig

I removed the old driver from the lib directory.

Some things work, but not others, such as Calendars with the following error

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /opt/atlassian-confluence-5.10.8/webapps/../confluence/WEB-INF/lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.38-bin.jar (No such file or directory)

Hey David,

did you remove the old driver, or just add the new one in the lib directory?

Check your catalina.out file from the last startup and it will tell you which driver file it used.
