ls -l output:

```

```

ls -l lib:

-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 2134905 Jan 28 12:21 mysql-connector-java-8.0.15.jar

Both of the two methods got error:Cannot load driver class: com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver

java -Dloader.path=/data/flowable/flowable-admin -jar flowable-admin.war  
java -Dloader.path=/data/flowable/flowable-admin/lib -jar flowable-admin.war

I tried change as com.mysql.jdbc.Driver in application.properties and the same.

Anything I missed? Thanks!

Hi,

there are basically 2 things needed for this;

1. having the correct jdbc driver jar on the class path;
2. change the database data source url and driver property

Can you elaborate on how you did this? (And how you verified this)

Regards,

Yvo
