I have installed the latest Confluence and set up a postgres database as per the doco. I have used all the default ports, etc., as well as the database & user names in the doco examples. At the moment I am trying to get this working on a Win7 x64 laptop in preparation for full production deployment on a Win Server 2008 VM.
Everything goes fine until configuration of the database. When I get to the Setup Database I use the 'Direct JDBC' option and enter the parameters exactly as shown in the examples, except of course with the password that I specified when creating db user 'confluenceuser'.
Note: I had an issue trying to buy the production license so while that is being resolved I have entered an evaluation license. The doco does not say specifically that the eval license cannot be used with an external database, but is this possibly the issue?
When I click 'Next' I get the following error:
Setup Database Failed The following error(s) occurred: Configuring the database failed. Couldn't create the database schema.

You can either try it again or or go back to the database selection page:
I can confirm this is a jdk 7 /jdk 8 issue.
going back to JDK 7 solved the problem
Howdy Steve!
What version of Java is installed on the server? I've seen these database errors crop up when Java 8 (JRE 1.8) is installed, as Java 8 is not supported currently in Confluence.

Hi Steve,
First of all, I'd like to mention that you can use external database even with evaluation license.
According to the above mentioned error, please ensure that your database user has sufficient (Full) permissions in your database.
Apart from that, please make sure that you have full permissions in <confluence-home> and <confluence-installation> directories.
However, if you have sufficient permissiosn in above mentioned directories and your database user , please create a support ticket and attach the content of following directories for further investigation:
Cheers,
Saleh

Hi Saleh
Thanks for your suggestions.
Permissions do not seem to be the issue. I have tried making the db user a super user - same errors. Also yes the user has full permissions on the directories.
I have opened a support ticket and provided the log.
Regards Steve
