I am setting up Atlassian Confluence and when it comes to choosing the database I stuck when I choose "use external Mysql DB" I saw some tutorials, but for me it didnt work out the way it should work. I use ubuntu 12.04 Server and have mysql installed. Now I tried to run confluence with an external database and I need this connector driver to make it work.

I already did :

sudo apt-get install libmysql-java

and I have java installed.

java version "1.6.0_27"

any help is upvoted fast :)
