Hi,

So I’ve been running MariaDB 11.3 for a while.  I have various applications working great with this server.

I want to setup a Jira 9.14  self hosted instance on one of my servers.  I see mariadb.com uses Jira.

So I put the mysql java connector v8.3.0, and the mariadb java connector v3.3.3 installed in my /opt/Atlassian/jira/lib directory.

I tried connecting jira via the setup web interface to my maria db, using the mysql 8.0 driver, and I get the error that I’m not running the right version.

I then added under [mysqld] in my.cnf, version = “8.0.25-0” and now get the below error.

Error connecting to database

Unknown system variable 'transaction_isolation'

I am now getting this error when testing the connection in jira:

I don’t want to setup a postgresql instance or a mysql 8 instance, can I get this to work? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best

Juan
