[Problem with MySQL driver (JasperReport Server 4.7.0)]

Let me know if it works, I'll post it as an answer and you can mark it correct so others will have the benefit...

[Problem with MySQL driver (JasperReport Server 4.7.0)]

Driver goes in this folder, as you tried before...

jasperreports-server-cp-4.7.0/apache-tomcat/webapps/jasperserver/WEB-INF/lib

 

The one step you did not list above is an important one.., restart Tomcat after you place the driver into the folder.

 

I got it working just a bit ago. Also see this link...

I basically just followed steps 1-4 on that page, I did not figure out how to enable the admin user for Tomcat though (so I can access Tomcat's 'manager' and restart it easily, I'll fix that later).. so I just restarted the computer, which restarted Tomcat, so I could get back to work quickly.

Did you figure this out? I have the same issue...
