must be member of role 'confluenceuser'

Hi Atlassian,

I am trying to create a confluence database in Aurora Postgresql and I am getting this error

postgres=> create role confluenceuser with password 'secret' login;

CREATE ROLE

postgres=> create database confluence with encoding 'utf-8' lc_collate 'en_US.utf8' LC_CTYPE 'en_US.utf8' TEMPLATE template0 owner confluenceuser;
ERROR: must be member of role "confluenceuser"

Any suggestion on what I am doing wrong? I am trying to follow this link https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/database-setup-for-postgresql-173244522.html

Thanks,

Asif

Here is a guide to creating a postgresql user.

Our issue was adding ownership of the database to a user and that was failing.

We found a fix. So create the database without the owner. And then alter the database to the owner. That worked.

postgres=> create database confluence with encoding 'utf-8' lc_collate 'en_US.utf8' LC_CTYPE 'en_US.utf8' TEMPLATE template0; 
CREATE DATABASE
postgres=> alter database confluence owner to confluenceuser; 
ALTER DATABASE
