title: JDBC Connector for MySQL not working in JMeter
body: <p>As per the problems this person was having;
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33202999/jdbc-connection-configuration-for-mysql-not-working-in-jmeter">JDBC Connector not working</a></p>
  
  <p>I'm running Debian 9.1<br>
  I installed Java via the package manager<br>
  I added Java to the path in /etc/config &amp; added JAVA_HOME to the path in /etc/environment<br>
  I then installed jmeter via the package manager<br>
  I then downloaded the mysql-connector-java-5.1.44-bin.jar and copied this to /usr/share/jmeter/lib  </p>
  
  <p>But after all this, I still dont get the JDBC connection option under Add->Config Element within JMeter, nor do i get any options for JDBC within JMeter.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone help me as to what im doing wrong?</p>
  
  <p>While I am new to JMeter, I have successfully run simple "Hello World" HTTP requests queried from a PHP Script &amp; a NodeJS script so far.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong><br>
  Added JMeter log by request<br>
