Error with the version of the database in liferay 7

Question

I work with Eclipse and I want to use the version 7 of Liferay but when I run my Tomcat server I have an error with MySQL.

Please upgrade to at least MySQL 5.6.4. The portal no longer supports older versions of MySQL

Like this the problem is pretty obvious but my SQL version is already 5.7.19

I have check my driver of MySQL in preference->data management->connectivity->driver definition and my MySQL JDBC Driver is 5.1

I want to know if someone already had this issue and know how to fix it

Answer 1

This is how the version gets validated, and this is how the version string gets constructed. I'd say: Please make extra extra extra sure that you are addressing the mysql server that you intend to address:

You can check your mysql version from the mysql command line client by executing select version();. Get your credentials and database URL from Liferay's portal-ext.properties or your appserver's connection pool configuration, depending on where you configured it.
