Alfresco connection with MariaDB

[giannis]

Hello,

We are usign Alfresco Content Services 6.2, and MariaDB 10.4.12.

The MariaDB is installed in other machine.

We are using the mysql-connector-java-5.1.32-bin.jar and in the alfresco properties we have the following parameters.

db.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

db.url=jdbc:mysql://host:3306/alfresco?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8

db.name=alfresco

db.username=user

db.password=pass

db.host=host

db.port=3306

db.pool.max=275

user.name.caseSensitive=true

When we start the alfresco we are getting the following error:

Please for your help.

Did you change db properties before first start?

[giannis]

Yes, I have changed the db properties with the database information.

Thank you,

Yiannis

Hi @giannis,

Can you connect to the database using another means - directly using the jdbc driver, for example?  

[giannis]

Hi @EddieMay ,

Yes we are able to connect to the database directly using the jdbc.

Thank you,

Yiannis,
