Hello Team ,

After installation when i try to start the server using service cloudera-scm-server start

I get the below error

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Could not load requested class : com.mysql.jdbc.Driver.

What should i do to rectify ?

Hello,

It sounds as if CM cannot locate the mysql connector.  Check out the following:

Specifically this section may be useful:

"Installing the MySQL JDBC Connector"

Cheers,
