Cannot install jira 8.20.1 on mysql 8.0.26

[Netinium]

Hello, I working on to install Jira 8.20.1 and Mysql 8.0.26 but I have always the same error:

You have specified a database that is not empty, please specify an empty database. If you want to upgrade an existing installation, please follow these instructions instead.

I have make an new empty database but constants the same error what do I wrong?

[Dirk Ronsmans]

Did you maybe after the upgrade copy over your dbconfig.xml ? It looks like your config file is pointing to a previously created db.

Have you checked the DB you are pointing to to see if it really is empty?

[Netinium]

No this is a new installation

[Dirk Ronsmans]

On a new installation you should be able to point it to the correct DB during the initialization. 

I assume that is where you get the error? 

Are you sure you are point to the correct DB then? I'd say just verify the DB you are trying to connect to first..

Since it says it's not empty it can connect..

The Mysql server is on the same Linux server as Jira is installed.

[Dirk Ronsmans]

Well only thing I can suggest is to really use something like a Mysql workbench and truely check if any tables exist already. 

If so, drop them.

I have in mysql : drop database jiradb; and then I create database jiradb.

CREATE DATABASE jiradb CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_bin;

GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,DROP,REFERENCES,ALTER,INDEX on <JIRADB>.* TO '<USERNAME>'@'<JIRA_SERVER_HOSTNAME>';

mysql> show databases;
+--------------------+
| Database |

5 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> use jiradb;

Empty set (0.00 sec)

Is there progress on this?

[Dirk Ronsmans]

Not really sure what this could be since you don't have any tables.

I'd say open a ticket with Atlassian directly (https://support.atlassian.com/contact) and see if this is a known bug?

[victor_martinez]

there is any news/ more details on this?

[Netinium]

When I set the credentials for the database and click op "Test Connection" then...

[Netinium]

Oh, I have copyed the mysql-connector-java-8.0.26.jar driver to /opt/atlassian/jira/lib/
