  • Have you successfully connected before to a mysql database or this is the first-ever attempt? If the latter is true, have you followed the instructions about placing the connector .jar? If the latter is true, have you added all required information to the connection (a screenshot from spoon would be helpful). Connecting to a db is fairly straightforward and the error you get is generic so before speculating, we need to make sure that the fundamentals are done correctly. – rpd Jul 27 '16 at 12:12
  • you are using mysql-connector-java-5.1.17-bin.jar file.. which is outdated for pdi 6.1.download the newer version of jdbc connector your problem will be resolved. – Helping Hand.. Jul 28 '16 at 13:44
