I am trying to add MySQL to ColdFusion 2023, I added the jar file (mysql-connector-j-8.0.33.jar) to ColdFusion2023/cfusion/lib, but I am still getting a error saying, "The standalone MySQL JDBC driver is no longer shipped with ColdFusion. Please download it, put it in cf_root/lib folder and restart ColdFusion." How can proceed with adding MySQL to ColdFusion2023?

@johnbarrett If you use CommandBox, we add that jar in for you.
The step you are missing, is likely installing the mysql module with cfpm

I created a ticket to clarify this... FWIW - That functionality is 'by design' according to this LOL https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/CF-4218012

1. Make sure the package is installed. 2. Make sure you restart CF. 3. Stay hydrated. ❤️
