alfresco-business-reporting on Community 4.2.d

[wimc]

I've been trying to get alfresco-business-reporting (https://code.google.com/p/alfresco-business-reporting/downloads/list) on Community 4.2.d, but can't seem to get it to work.

After install I keep getting this

Is there anyone here who can help me debug this issue?

I've tried all the things I can think of, tried to be sure that the latest mysql-j connector is available in various lib areas.  But it (the mysql connector) works for alfresco-explorer, so why would it not  work for this automagically?

I've double checked through the instructions many times but it keeps not-loading.

Database is created and has access but is staying empty…

mysql> show databases;
+——————–+
| Database           |
+——————–+
| information_schema |
| alfresco           |
| alfrescoreporting  |
+——————–+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> use alfrescoreporting
Database changed
mysql> show tables;
Empty set (0.00 sec)

mysql>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Halp!

[kaynezhang]

It could not  load jdbc driver ,place mysql-connector-java-%version%-bin.jar to tomcat/lib folder

[wimc]

I tried it before and tried it again now, but it gets the same error.

Tried both these versions:
mysql-connector-java-5.1.13-bin.jar
mysql-connector-java-5.1.26-bin.jar

What is odd to me is that Alfresco detects and uses the mysql-connector, why doesn't business-reporting find it?

Any more ideas?
