Error testing database connection during Confluence Install

Question

I have installed postgres (psql (PostgreSQL) 14.6 (Ubuntu 14.6-0ubuntu0.22.04.1)).

My database name is "confluence", my port is 5432 and it is listening, and my IP is 192.168.101.30.

When I try to test the database connection during the confluence install I get the following error:

Problem connecting to your database

SQLState - 99999
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: Unable to parse URL jdbc:postgresql://192.168.101.30:5432 /confluence

I have googled and read through various confluence help pages, including the instructions to setup postgres, and I have even asked chatGPT.

Any ideas how to fix this problem?

Actually, never mind. I didn't realize Atlassian was end of lifeing running your own local confluence for free for 10 users. I've uninstalled it and am moving on with something else.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks Fabio,

I have tried both postgres and confluence as the username as both those users exist and I have set the password.

Hey @Anthony Clark ,

welcome to the Atlassian community!

Please could you share a screenshot of your setup (I assume that you are doing that using installation wizard) so probably u provided a wrong information.
