    Description

      Issue Summary

      When connecting Jira to MySQL, you're required to manually download the JDBC driver from their website. The installation system warns you that, however, links to documentation that no longer exists.

      This is reproducible on Data Center: yes

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Set up a new Jira installation;
      2. Select MySQL as the database type;
      3. Click on the "our documentation" link provided

      The problem seems to be caused by missing versions in the DOCS API. For example, the URL generated by the "SetupDatabase.java" page for Jira 9.0 correctly redirect the users to the Jira 9.0 documentation for database instructions:

      However, the URL for Jira 9.1 and above doesn't work, and instead redirects the user to a NotFound page:

      Expected Results

      The documentation exists and actually helps the user to install the driver.

      Actual Results

      The user is redirected to an invalid link.

      Workaround

      See the instructions on the documentation below:
