Just installed bamboo on Ubuntu 18.04, cant start

When I try to start the bamboo service on my machine this is all I can get for troubleshooting logs/output:

â bamboo.service - LSB: Atlassian Bamboo Server
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/bamboo; generated)

Any help or experience anyone else has had with this would be greatly appreciated as I am currently at a loss.

Hi Thomas,

Is this the first time you're trying to setup and start the bamboo? What did you see when you're trying to access Bamboo?  Could you provide atlassian bamboo log file (atlassian-bamboo.log) for review?

I apologize.  I figured this out last night, I had the JAVA_HOME configured one folder too deep for it to initialize.

I can get it started now but cannot seem to get the configuration to work with my postgres server that is located on the same server.

Thank you for helping!

Any specific error that you're getting while using postgresql? Keep in mind that you need to make some changes in pg_hba.conf file to provide permissions.

Thanks

I have confluence and jira installed in the same postgres instance without issue.

I can connect both locally and externally to the postgres instance with the bamboo credentials.

I have a log i can post and will do so in a bit.
