PostgreSQL datasource problem with Railo

I successfully ran this script. I restarted Railo and still no joy.On Friday, April 3, 2015 at 4:23:56 PM UTC-5, Jon Clausen wrote:

In to your Java keystore and test the connection again.

If not, then it’s not a JDBC issue, but a configuration or port issue
with the AWS server instance. If so, then it may be a keystore issue.

Your connection string (the first example) looks valid. Assuming it’s
PG 9.3+ running on Amazon, here are the JDBC connection string docs:

https://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/use/

the &ssl doesn’t need a boolean with it anymore, though.

Does that AWS instance use a non-standard port? You may need to specify
the port. I just tried using a connection connection string in Lucee
against a PGSQL server running on 9.3 w/ SSL and it connected up right away
(though Lucee required me to also enter user/pass information in the
datasource config fields.

Try this (using the Lucee user/pass info and omitting it from the
connections string):

  1. Enter your username and password in datasource fields
  2. Enter the class as org.postgresql.Driver
  3. Use this connection string:
    jdbc:postgresql://
    ec2-184-73-254-144.compute-1.amazonaws.com/d200shbvfilcsq?ssl=true

I’m wondering if SSL is using a different port, as when I run psql:

psql -h ec2-184-73-254-144.compute-1.amazonaws.com

it gives me the FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host “[my ip
address]”, user “test”, database “test”, SSL off error, which says
that it’s not listening on 5432 with SSL (psql would negotiate encryption
automatically if that port was using SSL).

If it’s a different port, then you would need to add that to your
connection string.

You could try adding

see if the cert is at issue.

I manually created the datasource in my Application.cfc file. Here is my
syntax:

component {

this.datasources[“cla2015”] = {
class: ‘org.postgresql.Driver’

“encrypted:blahblahblahencryptedpasswordhere”
};

}

However, when we try to browse to the page, we still get these errors.

available datasource names are
[MuraRailo,music_3_user,slotc,cla_calendar,cla_07_user,cla_scholarships_2,cla_07_user_3,music_3_admin,history,ed3,siciliane,english_apps,english2004

                        |which psql| to see if it can be found.
                        If not, then install them via homebrew

                                If not, then it’s not a JDBC

                                        I’m wondering if SSL is

I finally got the datasource to connect by using Railo’s “Other - JDBC

In to your Java keystore and test the connection again.

but you really should check the connection from your AWS server to
the Postgres server, and not from your workstation (though that might be
easier to test and will still be telling if you run into problems).

If not, then it’s not a JDBC issue, but a configuration or port
issue with the AWS server instance. If so, then it may be a keystore issue.

Your connection string (the first example) looks valid. Assuming
it’s PG 9.3+ running on Amazon, here are the JDBC connection string docs:

https://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/use/

the &ssl doesn’t need a boolean with it anymore, though.

Does that AWS instance use a non-standard port? You may need to
specify the port. I just tried using a connection connection string in
Lucee against a PGSQL server running on 9.3 w/ SSL and it connected up
right away (though Lucee required me to also enter user/pass information in
the datasource config fields.

Try this (using the Lucee user/pass info and omitting it from the
connections string):

  1. Enter your username and password in datasource fields
  2. Enter the class as org.postgresql.Driver
  3. Use this connection string:
    jdbc:postgresql://
    ec2-184-73-254-144.compute-1.amazonaws.com/d200shbvfilcsq?ssl=true

I’m wondering if SSL is using a different port, as when I run psql:

psql -h ec2-184-73-254-144.compute-1.amazonaws.com

it gives me the FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host “[my ip
address]”, user “test”, database “test”, SSL off error, which says
that it’s not listening on 5432 with SSL (psql would negotiate encryption
automatically if that port was using SSL).

If it’s a different port, then you would need to add that to your
connection string.

With the JDBC datasource option, is the SSL cert authority used by

You could try adding
&sslfactory=org.postgresql.ssl.NonValidatingFactory to the JDBC URL
to see if the cert is at issue.

You’ll probably need to create your own connection string for the

When you create the datasource in the Lucee admin, select Other -
