Confluence Datasource setup issue
Asked by cheungtitus:

Hello,

Just downloaded and installed Confluence Standalone 5.4.1. Have followed the guides from the following 3 links to install and setup MySQL.

[](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Installing+Confluence+on+Linux+from+Archive+File)<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Installing+Confluence+on+Linux+from+Archive+File>

[](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Database+Setup+For+MySQL)<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Database+Setup+For+MySQL>

[](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Configuring+a+MySQL+Datasource+in+Apache+Tomcat)<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Configuring+a+MySQL+Datasource+in+Apache+Tomcat>

The reason I had to do the steps from the last link is because I have a MySQL dB server with a few other databases already running on it using MyISAM. Since Confluence requires InnodB, I added the datasource with the following in particular....

```
url="jdbc:mysql://192.168.10.33:3306/confluenceuat?autoReconnect=true&amp;amp;useUnicode=true&amp;amp;characterEncoding=utf8&amp;amp;sessionVariables=storage_engine=InnoDB"
```

Everything went fine and I entered the following as the Datasource JNDI name.

```
java:comp/env/jdbc/confluence
```

Afterwards I was able to see the 59 tables created in my dB as InnodB type. However, I was given the

body: What I did to solve the problem was the following:

1) Delete contents of the confluence data directory (not the confluence installation directory).

2) Delete contents of the confluence installation directory and untar again the distribution file.

3) Drop database.

4) Start all over again.

I do have to comment this is by far the worst installation experience I can expect from a product that has such a good user experience of day to day usage. The amount of experience required to install what supposed to be a very easy and painless process is while not super difficult does require an unexpected amount of digging around.

This had been aggrevated by the fact that I already have a MySQL dB server with multiple databases running on it with MyISAM tables, and getting Confluence to work require me setup the new database for it with Innodb tables by adding a datasource by doing a few custom tinkering to the conf/server.xml and confluence/WEB-INF/web.xml files. This inevidently was followed by the issue I first reported since the default binary log format is unsafe for the default transaction level.

Given this can't be an issue un-frequented by customers and it does appear to have been reported, one would expect someone have built handling of these from within the install GUI.

body: Hi, i've exactly the same problem except i'm using oracle.

This is the worse installation proccess in an Atlassian product in my opinion, i'm very disappointed of this product.

body: I've run into this one, my notes say a flag is missing:

* Fire up my.cnf in a text editor
* Find the line below (you may need to add it if it's not there) and change it to read
* binlog_format=row
* Save and exit
* I think you need to restart mysql to get it to read the new setting
* You'll need to create a new database for Confluence

body: Thanks except I'm still seeing the following after a restart of MySQL.
