I am receiving the message below when trying to connect to my MySQL database. I can connect to the JDBC datasource via Data Integration. I have read various post that suggest I copy the mysql jar file into the /report-designer/ directory. That is not possible because when I installed Report Designer that directory was not created. However, i do see directories under .pentaho. Please help
