title: How to fix server time zone causing exception when trying to connect to MySQL instance with DataGrip?
body: <p>When attempting to connect to a MySQL instance with DataGrip I am receiving a <code>com.mysql.cj.exceptions.InvalidConnectionAttributeException</code> exception:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The server time zone value 'XXX' is unrecognized or represents more than one
    time zone. You must configure either the server or JDBC driver
    (via the serverTimezone configuration property) to use a more specifc
    time zone value if you want to utilize time zone support.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Where <code>XXX</code> is my server's timezone (I also love the typo in the exception <em>specifc</em>). This error prevents me from creating a connection to the MySQL server. What is causing this issue?</p>
