I am trying to connect to a database but it's not working. I downloaded the mysql connector (sqljdbc42.jar) and I put it in the tomcat/lib folder. The configuration is like this:

 

com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

jdbc:mysql:/ip:3306/thingworx?user=x&password=x

 

Do you know how to fix this? Thankyou!

Hi @BSUN_RO , First you need to check the connectivity between platform and the database server . Try ping to database ip from platform server . If that got success check for error logs in Application.logs in ThingworxStorage/logs folder

    Thankyou, I didnt knew about this logs. I found this error:

    ERROR starting: JDBC Driver Class Not Found: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

    Do I need to rename the jar file to "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" ?
