Hi,
Cannot install Syncope with Mysql, using the syncope installer gui;
There are tutorials on how to do it, I followed them, I'm sure it might be
something trivial but I do not see it:
CENTOS7, Java 8 (version 1.8.0_60)
Apache Maven 3.3.9 - fresh install
Mysql 5.6.36 - fresh install, "syncope" database created, user syncope,
password syncope, on localhost, mysqld is up, tested, all ok.
Tomcat 8.0.26 - fresh install with mysql-connector-java-5.1.42-bin.jar in
tomcat/lib;
tomcat/conf/context.xml configured to have the mysql <Resource>
tomcat/bin/setenv.sh created as in tutorials, rights ok.
Tomcat starts ok, there are no errors in catalina.out, additionally I see in
the mysql access log the
Connect syncope@localhost on syncope
Query /* mysql-connector-java-5.1.42 ......
Then continuously the Query SELECT 1
...and so on, so I assume tomcat can access the Mysql database at least tomcat
has found the driver and it uses it;
Java -jar syncope-installer-2.0.4-uber.jar starts the GUI installer, I leave
everything default, all first 7 steps go quick, I choose Mysql, default user,
password and url are ok so I leave them untouched. Then the installer waits
until it times out, I can see in the mysql access-log that there is no request
coming to mysqld.
After timeout I have the message "Validation failed Error during connection to
database: please check inserted data. Unable to get mysql driver!"
I need here to quit the installer. There is nothing built yet, there is no
install log written.
Any hint is welcome
