So. here is my application.conf

# This is the main configuration file for the application.
# ~~~~~

# Secret key
# ~~~~~
# The secret key is used to secure cryptographics functions.
#
# This must be changed for production, but we recommend not changing it in this file.
#
# See http://www.playframework.com/documentation/latest/ApplicationSecret for more details.
play.crypto.secret = "changeme"

# The application languages
# ~~~~~
play.i18n.langs = [ "en" ]

# Router
# ~~~~~
# Define the Router object to use for this application.
# This router will be looked up first when the application is starting up,
# so make sure this is the entry point.
# Furthermore, it's assumed your route file is named properly.
# So for an application router like `my.application.Router`,
# you may need to define a router file `conf/my.application.routes`.
# Default to Routes in the root package (and conf/routes)
# play.http.router = my.application.Routes

# Database configuration
# ~~~~~
# You can declare as many datasources as you want.
# By convention, the default datasource is named `default`
#
db.default.driver=org.postgresql.Driver
#db.default.url="jdbc:h2:mem:play"
#db.default.user="Tom"
#db.default.password="160491"
ebean.default = ["model.*"]

# Evolutions
# ~~~~~
# You can disable evolutions if needed
#play.evolutions.enabled=false

# You can disable evolutions for a specific datasource if necessary
# play.evolutions.db.default.enabled=false

Is the error becouse ive commented out some of the variables that my procfile tries to overide?

web: target/universal/stage/bin/artgallery -Dhttp.port=${PORT} -Dplay.evolutions.db.default.autoApply=true -Ddb.default.driver=org.postgresql.Driver -Ddb.default.url=${DATABASE_URL}

I also have not touched the database on heroku ive being using the h2 browser to work on the website so far.

Answer 1

Most likely, you need a newer version of the JDBC driver for postgres. Here's one that works:

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  jdbc,
  cache,
  "org.postgresql" % "postgresql" % "9.4-1201-jdbc41",
  ws
)

And here is a sample app .

This is mentioned fleetingly in the 2.4 migration guide .

Another possibility is that you are using Slick, which recently had a regression in support of Database URL. It will be fixed in 3.0.3, but in the meantime you have to manually turn your DATABASE_URL into a JDBC URL.
