data source not found

Looking for Connection Identifier ConnectionIdentifier(lift) but failed to find either a JNDI data source with the name lift or a lift connection manager with the correct name

If you aren't running pg on the same machine as you are running the monitor you have to configure your database connection.

[davecramer]

I tried two machines both with pg running on them. Same error

[josephks]

That message means that app can't connect to the database. Make sure you can connect with psql using localhost. If that works ok try explicitly configuring the db connection in the default.props file.

[davecramer]

I can connect to template1 no problem using psql -h localhost -U postgres template1
This is exactly what is in default.props

[josephks]

And there is no helpful exception on the console? Somehow some way the app can't connect to the database. Could it be your jvm security settings? Do you see anything in the pg logs indicating the connection was refused?

Joseph, where should this properties file be when the system is running ?

FYI I am one of the maintainers of the JDBC driver, my jvm is not the problem

[josephks]

I pushed an example to github. It goes under src/main/resources/props.

[davecramer]

ok there is a default.props file there. How about when it is running where is it supposed to live ? Where is the pgjdbc jar when it is running ?

[josephks]

Are you running this from sbt? The jdbc driver is a dependency, and should also be included in any war file built. The props file is also included in any war file built.

[davecramer]

I am running this from the sbt, I guess I could try building a war and running it

[josephks]

It runs fine from sbt for me. Do you think that the jdbc jar isn't being found in the classpath? It could by an ivy issue. Try removing your ~/.ivy and rerunning.

[davecramer]

I have no idea, wouldn't you get a class not found error instead ?
