Any one can help me how to fix this ?

Answer 1

The Alfresco installer ships with PostgreSQL. When it is installed it will place the PostgreSQL driver (postgresql-9.4-1201-jdbc41.jar) in $TOMCAT_HOME/lib.

If you are switching to a different database you need to make sure the new database driver is available. Your error message seems to indicate it isn't.

Go look in $TOMCAT_HOME/lib and see if you have a file named mysql-connector-java-*.jar. If you don't, download it from here, then place the JAR in this directory and restart.

Answer 2

If you change the Database Technology of alfresco, you must create a Database schema with the name alfresco.

Because when Alfresco is started at that time it will find the database and create some table based on that schema.

Please check you completed these steps :

• copy mysql-connector-java-5.x.x jar into <alfresco>\tomcat\lib folder.
• max_connections = 275 in <MySQL>\MySQL Server 5.0\my.ini
• Create user alfresco and assign all privileges.
• Create schema alfresco in DB.
