Can't Start JBoss on 7.3

Question

I seem to be having issues with my local 7.3 installation -- more specifically, starting up JBoss. The errors I'm seeing are as shown below: JBAS014775: New missing/unsatisfied dependencies: service jboss.jdbc-driver.com_mysql_jdbc (missing) dependents: [service jb oss.data-source.java:/jdbc/appianPrimary, service jboss.data-source.java:/jdbc/a ppianData] 03:11:36,927 INFO [org.jboss.as] (Controller Boot Thread) JBAS015961: Http mana gement interface listening on 127.0.0.1:9990/management 03:11:36,931 INFO [org.jboss.as] (Controller Boot Thread) JBAS015951: Admin con sole listening on http://127.0.0.1:9990 03:11:36,931 ERROR [org.jboss.as] (Controller Boot Thread) JBAS015875: JBoss EAP 6.2.0.GA (AS 7.3.0.Final-redhat-14) started (with errors) in 4100ms - Started 1 55 of 220 services (6 services failed or missing dependencies, 58 services are p assive or on-demand) What might be the cause of these errors? Thanks....

1. Looking at your log we can tell JBoss is correctly deploying your data sources:

JBAS010400: Bound data source [java:/jdbc/appianData]
JBAS010400: Bound data source [java:/jdbc/appianPrimary]

2. However, when it's time for Appian to connect to the primary data source it's failing with the following error:

Caused by: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Unknown database 'appianPrimary'

3. This error means that your configuration files are perfectly fine but the database doesn't exist in your MySQL instance.

Remember that both database need to exist in MySQL: appianprimary and appianData since those are the names you have used in the <xa-datasource-property name="databaseName"> tag in appian-ds.xml

To create a database in MySQL simply use the:

create database;

command or create it from MySQL User Interface (e.g. MySQL Workbench) dev.mysql.com/.../creating-database.html
