I currently am using CF11 and I need to install the latest mySQL driver.  I have downloaded it but am unsure which folder it needs to go in.  Also, are there any configurations that need to be dealt with in CF Administrator for this new driver?

The driver that I intend to install is mysql-connector-java-5.1.35-bin.jar

You need to place the jar file at \ColdFusion11\cfusion\lib\ and restart ColdFusion 11 Application Service.

I have deleted the mySQL connection and rebuilt it.  Everything is fine now.  Thank you for your help!

I did, but received this error:

Connection verification failed for data source: BNumberLookup

java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql://Slink-Audit.sdc.com:3306/racf?tinyInt1isBit=false&

The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql://Slink-Audit.sdc.com:3306/racf?tinyInt1isBit=false&
