  1. Download connector for your version of MySQL
    1. If running mySQL 5.0-5.1
      Download version 5.0.8+ from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/5.0.html
    2. If running MySQL 5.1+
      Download version 5.1+ from http://www.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/
    • NOTE: the version numbers do not directly align despite the way they appear to here
  2. Extract the file to /opt
  3. Copy mysql-connector-java-<version>-bin.jar to $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib
  4. Delete the extracted folder
