CloudBees CD/RO does not include the MySQL JDBC connector. If you plan to perform a CloudBees CD/RO server installation that connects to a MySQL database, you must obtain and install the MySQL JDBC Connector/J 8
.
Follow these steps:
-
Run the installer.
Make sure that you do not install the built-in database.
-
After the installation completes, download the
MySQL JDBC Connector/J 8
:Download the Platform Independent (Architecture Independent), Compressed TAR Archive for version 8.0.23: https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/c-j/.
Oracle may ask you to sign in or to create an account. -
Unpack the archive and rename the downloaded connector to
mysql-connector-j.jar
.This is required for the CloudBees CD/RO server to connect to the MySQL database.
-
Copy
mysql-connector-j.jar
to the<install_dir>/server/lib
directory. -
Restart the server.
-
Open the home page of the Automation Platform web UI by browsing to \https:/<cloudBees-flow-server>/commander/ and sign in.
-
Go to the Administration > Database Configuration page and configure the server to use a MySQL database.
