September 6, 2019

testing connection to database worked fine, received the below messages after a few minutes during initial setup of database. Have setup Confluence per the documentation, have setup PostgreSQL 9.6 database per the documentation (Granter Owner, Granted Login, Granted Create Database, etc. etc.). Enabled firewall port 5432, on and on.
