JIRA is not being able to connect with Bugzilla's database because of lack of permissions of the Bugzilla database user or problems with the connections from Bugzilla's DB.
Resolution
You can use a bulleted or numbered list
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'bugzilla'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '52819c504481470a' WITH GRANT OPTION MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS 0 ;
Where "bugzilla" is the database user and the hash password specified will be your password.- Check the database connection with any kind of DB Visualizer to confirm that the Bugzilla database is accessible from external sources.
