The database, as currently configured, is not accessible.

[Jim Brown]

I upgraded stash to 3.7.0 on a new server (old one died) after moving old stash home directory over. When I start stash I get the following error: 

• The database, as currently configured, is not accessible.

My stash-config.properties in the /shared directory looks like this 

jdbc.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mysql_stash?autoReconnect=true&characterEncoding=utf8&useUnicode=true&sessionVariables=storage_engine%3DInnoDB
jdbc.user=stashuser
jdbc.password=password

and I have the following mysql jar 

/opt/atlassian/stash/3.7.0/lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.23-bin.jar

Looking forward to your response

Hi Jim!

Do you have local version of MySQL running on the same new server? Your JDBC path dbc.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:33066/mysql_stash? tells that there should be MySQL DB server on the same computer and there should be mysql_stash database.

If you have the DB server and database, can you connect to it with MySQL client:

mysql --user=stashuser --password=password mysql_stash
