Thank you for your interest in CollectionSpace!

Via this note, I'm forwarding your query, below, to the

  * Download the JDBC driver (also known as the Connector/J) from this
    page: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/5.1.html
  * Unpack the downloaded file and then place the jar file (named
    something like mysql-connector-java-5.0.3-bin.jar) in the folder:
    */system/library/java/extensions*     (some threads suggest this
    folder instead: library/java/extensions)

I believe the MySQL driver is included in the CSpace distribution tarballs, in $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/lib, at least in the more recent versions. The installation probably failed because JBOSS_HOME was not properly set.
