Setup your database - 'The port number ____ is not valid.'

James Bloggs

I'm trying to set up confluence with a MS SQL Server database - both in docker containers(Ubuntu images provided by Atlassian and MS).

Both containers are running, with my database created and the various environment variables set as directed.

In browser, at 'Setup your database' I get the following:

 

Problem connecting to your database

com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The port number sqlserver://db:1433 is not valid.

 

This is refering to my entry in 'Hostname:' which is 'jdbc:sqlserver://db:1433;databaseName=confluence'. All other fields are filled in correctly as far as i can tell. Apologies for the lack of pictures.

 

Any help appreciated!

Try to telnet to the server using port 1433. Like

telnet servername 1433

if you get a response then the port is listening. If you get a waiting message make sure port 1433 is listening or enabled on both sides (source and destination)
