I have installed the latest Confluence and set up a postgres database as per the doco. I have used all the default ports, etc., as well as the database & user names in the doco examples. At the moment I am trying to get this working on a Win7 x64 laptop in preparation for full production deployment on a Win Server 2008 VM.
Everything goes fine until configuration of the database. When I get to the Setup Database I use the 'Direct JDBC' option and enter the parameters exactly as shown in the examples, except of course with the password that I specified when creating db user 'confluenceuser'.
Note: I had an issue trying to buy the production license so while that is being resolved I have entered an evaluation license. The doco does not say specifically that the eval license cannot be used with an external database, but is this possibly the issue?
When I click 'Next' I get the following error:
Setup Database Failed
The following error(s) occurred:
Configuring the database failed. Couldn't create the database schema.

Setting up database instance failed. You can either try it again or or go back to the database selection page:
