[15:02:31 CDT(-0500)] <Daskreech> http://pastebin.ca/2185902 is the error that I'm getting
[15:03:24 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> if you scroll down to the bottom: http://pastebin.ca/raw/2185902 you see the last Cause By says "Connection refused"
[15:03:32 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so either your database isn't running
[15:03:39 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> or the JDBC connection string is incorrect
[15:03:39 CDT(-0500)] <Daskreech> It seems that I can't get in contact with postgresql but I can't figure out why that would be
[15:03:48 CDT(-0500)] <Daskreech> Right but I can psql in to the database
[15:03:57 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> one of the best ways to test is to use http://squirrel-sql.sourceforge.net/
[15:04:02 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> it is a java SQL client
[15:04:02 CDT(-0500)] <Daskreech> as far as I know the jdbc string hasn't changed
[15:04:20 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> from the same machine setup squirrel using the same JDBC connection info
[15:04:24 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and the same JDBC driver
[15:04:31 CDT(-0500)] <Daskreech> hmm ok
[15:04:33 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> that should help you track down the problem
[15:04:39 CDT(-0500)] <Daskreech> Does it have more expressive errors?
[15:04:55 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> probably not but it has a faster turn around time for testing
[15:05:15 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> there isn't much else to know other than the JDBC driver can't connect to the JDBC URL it was provided with
[15:05:32 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so either the DB is down, there is some sort of network issue or the JDBC URL is wrong
[15:06:19 CDT(-0500)] <Daskreech> hmm ok
[15:06:42 CDT(-0500)] <Daskreech> that was my diagnosis as well but I"ll plug away at it
[15:07:10 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> good luck ... sorry there isn't more info there
[15:07:23 CDT(-0500)] <Daskreech> Yeah I think someone screwed around with the database
[15:07:25 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I'm assuming you're using psql from the same machine that you're trying to start uPortal on?
[15:07:32 CDT(-0500)] <Daskreech> Yes
[15:07:44 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah then my next guess would be network or jdbc url issues
[15:08:05 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> often the native database clients deal with minor config changes better than a JDBC URL will
[15:08:20 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> which is why testing with something like squirrel is better for verification
[15:08:33 CDT(-0500)] <Daskreech> and it's a localhost/database connection
[15:08:45 CDT(-0500)] <Daskreech> Alright thanks
