Mysql Binding, Mysql Persistence - connection is not valid

Add-ons Persistence Services
81

Should this be loading:

2018-11-26 17:25:39.786 [INFO ] [el.core.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl] - Loading model 'rrd4j.persist'
82

if you are not using rrd4j persistence: then no
uninstall the addon and remove the persistence/rrd4j.persist and services/rrd4j.cfg files

83

Okay, I removed rrd4j, and restarted the service and still have the following error:

2018-11-26 17:38:05.119 [WARN ] [persistence.jdbc.internal.JdbcMapper] - JDBC::openConnection: no driver available!

2018-11-26 17:38:05.128 [WARN ] [persistence.jdbc.internal.JdbcMapper] - JDBC::openConnection: no driver available!

Hereā€™s my config:

something is wrong with your system
installing the persistence addon should have deployed the necessary files (which include the required drivers)ā€¦
the driver should have been pulled it from here: http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.mariadb.jdbc/mariadb-java-client

I donā€™t know what to tell youā€¦ :frowning:

does your OH2 system have proper internet access?

86

Yes, as I use the remote openhab connection.

87

okā€¦ last effort:

systemctl stop openhab2
cd /usr/share/openhab2/addons/
wget "https://downloads.mariadb.com/Connectors/java/connector-java-2.3.0/mariadb-java-client-2.3.0.jar"
systemctl start openhab2
88

Iā€™m trying paperUI one more timeā€¦

Which one should I try?

JDBC Persistence MariaDB
JDBC Persistence MySQL

89

start clean with JDBC:MariaDB
if the JDBC::openConnection: no driver available! is still there: download the jar that I linked above to your addons directory

90

Well I downloaded the jar and I still have the erorr?

Something new?
