Change: database.default.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost/jetspeed
to database.default.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/jetspeed Also, make sure that PostgreSQL is accepting TCP connections. Check the postgresql.conf (on RedHat this is /var/lib/pgsql/data). If you have connection problems, set 127.0.0.1 to be trusted in pg_hba.conf. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:brendan.richards@;draftlondon.com] Sent: 22 October, 2002 9:12 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Database Issues Apologies in advance for posting a repeat of earlier messages but I've yet to come across a solution to my problem... I'm attempting to get jetspeed working with PostgreSQL. Following initial abortive attempts, I've installed the latest versions of both Tomcat (4.1.12) and Postgresql(7.2.3) to ensure I have clean builds but the issue remains. The error when starting jetspeed is: Horrible Exception: java.lang.Error: Error in BasePeer.initTableSchema(TURBINE_USER): Connection object is null! at org.apache.jetspeed.om.security.turbine.BaseTurbineUserPeer.initClass(BaseTu rbineUserPeer.java:145) at org.apache.jetspeed.om.security.turbine.BaseTurbineUserPeer.<clinit>(BaseTur bineUserPeer.java:124) ..etc... my torque.properties file looks like this: database.default=jetspeed database.default.driver=org.postgresql.Driver database.default.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost/jetspeed database.default.username=jetspeed database.default.password= with a jetspeed database setup from the scripts provided and pjdbc2.jar intsalled in the lib directory from jdbc.postgresql.org I've seen people with similar errors using both postgreSQL and mySQL. I've also tried removing hsql.jar from the lib directory to make sure there is no classname clash between the hsql and postgres jdbc jars. Any Ideas??
